Alpengeist - Seeing as this ride is the thing of legend amongst many enthusiasts, I (perhaps foolishly) had great expectations. Unfortunately, I came off the ride thinking, 'was that it?’ There were too many dead spots for my liking. It lacked the intensity that I had heard so much about. It just went through the motions. I really wanted to love this ride, hence the extreme disappointment.
Expedition Ge Force (or as I like to call it, Expedition Trim Force) - Apparently it's 'die besten Achterbahn der Welt.'
I really wished it lived up to the hype that the coaster fraternity has been shovelling on it over the years. But for me it was one big 'ole fail. Started off well with a great first drop and a nice pop of air on the hill that follows. After that I fell asleep, although I did wake up for the 'trim heavy' finale. Shame, as I really hoped that I could agree that it indeed was the world’s greatest roller coaster. Ah well, at least it fares better than...
Millennium Force (less) - Another coaster that was apparently supposed to be awesome. I finally got around to riding it after years of anticipation, only to fall asleep after the first drop.
Disappointing aint the word.
Phantom's Revenge - I'd seen this in videos and witnessed coaster enthusiasts drooling at the mouth when talking about it. But after I finally got to take a ride on the 'legendary' Phantom's Revenge, I was left pretty confused. Was this really the awesome ride that folk raved about? Great first drop and some nice bunny hop action. Not much else.
PMBO - I vaguely remember (it has been a few years now :lol
the anticipation and excitement I felt before taking my maiden voyage on what looked like a behemoth of a ride, only to be left wondering what the hell went wrong after the awesome first drop! This ride is living proof that looks can sometimes be devastatingly deceiving!
