Re: Top 10(ish): 2015 Edition - page 27
I went a couple of weeks ago. Was in Germany over the day with some friends, and got a surprice visit as a late birthday gift. Hence I was only there for a couple of hours and didn't get any pictures, that's also why I haven't bothered doing a trip report. But now onto my verdict:
The ride starts of a bit dissapointing; the indoor drop is certainly not as surpricing or powerful as one would think. You stop for 20-30 seconds on the lift hill, meaning that the surpice element is totally gone (as if it was ever there; the ride ops in the station tell you about it) and the drop is very short and you don't get that freefall feeling I love so much! But then it gets better
The drop is good, yet again not top-10 worthy, but still good! After comes the heart shaped element that gives a nice view, but nothing more. Then the best part of the rides comes: the insanely fast triple turn with a bit of surpricing airtime thrown in as well, awesome! <3 Then there's some high speed low to the ground turns that unfortunately are already really rough. And the powerful airtime hill, and actually there's some powerful airtime coming into the brakes as well! But it's only brief ejector, none of the hills are sustained. Then after the brake run there's the "surprice" inline-roll. All in all a mixed bag of greatness and less good parts and a brand new ride that's already quite rough in places.. It will get better next year with the theming, no doubt! But the truth is that Kärnan unfortunately is a couple of notches below Fluch von Novgorod! (which is really fab <3 )
Well count me as one of "those that describe it as juddering and disappointing". Or maybe not dissapointing, it's a good ride for sure. But definitely not top 10!TilenB said:^ Wow, is it really that good? I've heard mixed about it, ranging from excellent (yours) to those that describe it as juddering and disappointing. I wonder what will I think of it when I get to ride it next year. I usually like Gersts, so I am kind of looking forward to it.

^ Well I disagree with a lot of that, but I guess that proves my assumption of it being an opinion spliter . I'll try and get my report of it done tomorrow.

3. Shambhala
4. Kumba
5. Beast

1. Skyrush
2. Boulder Dash
3. Top Thrill Dragster
4. Millennium Force
5. Nemesis
6. Wicked Cyclone
7. Nitro
8. Storm Runner
9. Bizarro

11. Apollo's Chariot
12. Stealth
13. Magnum Xl-200
14. Maverick

16. Griffon
17. Alpengeist

19. Nemesis Inferno
20. Chinese Fireball
21. Hungarian Horntail
22. Roar-O-Saurus
23. Holllywood Rip-Ride-Rockit
24. Batman: The Ride
25. Incredible Hulk
Finally got to ride Wicked Cyclone today, and it's excellent, sneaking right in and just shy of my Top 5. It's filled with plenty of airtime and laughs and just tons of fun!
Bizarro (which at one point was my #1) slipped from #6 to #9 today. I think it's beginning to show it's age. It's still a great ride with plenty of ejector air, but it felt a bit rattly today and the trains looked a bit tired. Sort of sad to see it continually fall, but hey, I've been finding some better ones.
