Benin Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Bugger, I forgot this thing has one of them spiral push lifts... Everything about this ride just screams "I'M GONNA BE TURDIO!"... Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Everything about this ride just screams "I'M GONNA BE TURDIO!"... Probably correct, I still want to ride it though! Intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 You know what's really bad? I'll be riding two of these things this year at the current time... And Baco... I might as well just give up on coasters at this rate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I'm with Benin on this one, the transitions look hideous. I'd ride it just once to see if my pain threshold could take it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Looks like one for the tick only ride, plus it's a long way to go to suffer that amount of pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Such a shame that they ripped out a classic Wild Mouse coaster to build this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't think it looks painful. However, riding a coaster in what looks like a small, floating prison cell isn't exactly what I look for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm shocked that on this whole circuit there is only one piece of track that is banked. And it looks like it's only done as an "outwards banked turn" element. Like it's a bonus to riders and they should be happy for it. And what a hideous lift. Looks like a gross, oversized electricity terminal. Is this really the pinnacle of modern coaster design from Maurer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is this really the pinnacle of modern coaster design from Maurer? Nope, it's our old friends Zamperla who are to blame for the second least favourite steel coaster in the entire world (according to Mitch Hawker polls), beaten only by Goudrix (which isn't as bad as it's made out to be really)...

It is that bad. Goudurix deserves every bit of negativity it gets. Hero also looks like it annihilates riders. Is it bad that I'm quite intrigued to ride to find out, though....?

Benin Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 It is that bad. Goudurix deserves every bit of negativity it gets. Goudrix isn't even the worst Vekoma in Paris (Space Mountain takes that honour), or Europe, let alone the entire World... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Throughput looks a nightmare! Is that music their own? Sounds familiar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 the music probably not but looks like its being played through speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Looks okay, but doubt its anything brilliant in terms of experience and appearance. The rides probably marginally better than the old mouse coaster but it looks rather plain. Can't see it exceeding 500 pph throughput.

Dan9 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Goudrix isn't even the worst Vekoma in Paris (Space Mountain takes that honour), or Europe, let alone the entire World...I am CONVINCED they've done something to Space Mountain, maybe changed all the wheels or something, because a few weeks ago it was absolutely brilliant and all in our party agreed. It was even as smooth as most B&M's I've been on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 What gives me Chills is that this coaster was just flung together in what I think 2-3 Month James_C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
