Finally someone who gives abyssus the attention it needs! I actually preferred it to Hyperion before i got to ride the inner seat.
I can sort of understand the critique on abyssus. The first time i rode it it was a decidely underwhelming experience. For some reason it wasn't on its best that day. The second day i rode it it was fine. If the park didn't have zadra and hyperion it would have been the best coaster in the park. Not saying its a great coaster but its a solid headliner for a medium to greater seized parks. I just don't think its up there for the really major parks except as the best supporting coaster in the not pure coaster parks.
@@arturobianco848 Energylandia haves this ride as a family thrill ride becouse only family thrill ride in park until only had Speed and Formula but they had a lot of kiddy coasters and 2 of the most thrilling ride in Europe so they had to make some family thrill big coaster for these who are scared on Hyperion and Zadra but they already want to experience a thrill ride
@@extrakubik4123 It certainly meets those criteria. And i agree it a very good fit for the park. I'm also very curious about how the tilt coaster is gonna be. But i probable find that out in texas rather then in Poland.
@@arturobianco848 EL will have that tilt coaster that's for sure and I think they'll also have one of these new super boomerangs becouse they love to work with Vekoma but I would love to see that tilt coaster coming in 2023 becouse the mechanism already stands in Vekoma factory (yo can notice it haves a twisted vertical drop and that's confirmed element on that ride). II think that it will be in style of Fønix or Lech coaster so I will be an intense ride. They also confirmed a triple down, 2 zero g rolls I think and I'm not sure about this one but inverted camel back?
@@extrakubik4123 That sounds nice i hope they go more for the intensity of lech coaster but it will probable be fonix.
Abyssus is the most underrated coaster I've ever done! The elements flow together so nicely. I love that coaster. I might need to ride more of the coasters on this list because I haven't ridden most of them. Nice video!
The hate Blue Fire get s especially within the german community isn t reasonable. It s just a thing that developed out of the situation, that it used to be almost everyone s Top1 coaster when it opened, so it soon was labeled as 'overrated', which was right. But that whole thing backfired then and they made "bad/forceless" out of "overrated", additionally it also used to be a trend made up by some coaster CZcamsrs, to rant about Europa Park, most likely to look like they had a revolutionary opinion towards Europa Park as it began to constantly win the Golden Ticket Award. So hating Blue Fire and the EP itself just became a stupid trend for many people.
What I learned from this video and also riding most of the coasters I have ridden is that gerstlauer is underrated and extremely overlooked by the coaster community
That is true! A lot of their stuff in Europe is underrated and that’s the best of what they offer 🙌🏻
They do have a somewhat deserved reputation for roughness but i agree they also made some good coasters, just a shame that 2 of there best ones are in Hansa park not the most visited park in europe and probable the most underrated or i should day unknown major park in Europe. As every one who visited it likes the park. Its a bit like plohn park in that regard except that Hansapark is much better. (Now don't go shouting at me you Plohn fans i did really like your park and i think its the most underrated one in germany.)
The roughness of Gerstlauer is a problem. But that roughness is very unpredictable. Riding a Gerstlauer track is like Russian roulette. I was in PowerLand in Finland last summer. Junker was the best Gerstlauer I've done and got a spot in my top 10. The track was super smooth. But the new Pitts Special was bizarrely pretty rough for its age. Kärnan and Flucht von Novgorod would be much higher in my ranking if my September 2019 ride was much smoother. That said, their Bobsled Coasters (Van Helsing, Heiße Fahrt) and Family Coasters (Wakala) are fantastic and indeed underappreciated.
Absolutely! As a European enthusiast (UK specifically) gerstlauer is one of my favourite manufacturers (especially since the smiler is my #1 in the uk). They need to bring some of their best infinity coasters to parks in america and they’ll get the respect they deserve
I liked Abyssus more than Hyperion. Good to see some love for Van Helsing, Mystic and Blue Fire as well. Flug der Dämonen would be on my list, too.
I have to say, I completely forgot Flug der Dämonen when making this list. That should have been on here!
@@CoasterDash It makes an appearance in the edit so I fully expected it to be on the list!
@@gemmachaos same, the whole video i was wondering when FdD would finally appear xD
When I think of underrated coasters in Europe, El Toro and Dynamite at Freizeitpark Plohn come into my mind very fast. I think that the whole park is pretty underrated in general. Sure it's not big but it really offers great theming, it is very well kept, there no trash to find on the ways or so, the employees and ride ops are soo friendly and kind. It really was one of the most surprising parks for me on my trip through Germany!
The East Germany parks look like quite underrated respectively! Id love to visit at some point 🙌🏻
@@CoasterDash yes, you should definitely come back soon and make up for that! There are still a few great credits to explore!
Yeah plohn park was one of those hidden jems i do think he only put coasters on the list that he personaly done so that would explain it.
It's actually my home park and I can only agree!
Yes agree! Dynamite was a blast ... hehe :D
So happy to see Juvelen near the top here. I sat at the front on my first ride, not really expecting much, and was literally shaking when I got off. The forward-leaning four wheeler-inspired seating arrangement, combined with the fact that the track hugs the ground for the majority of the layout really enhances the perception of speed. Such a surprising experience.
From my last Europe trip the coaster that most fit this category was Alpina Blitz at Nigloland. Awesome coaster at a great park.
I’ve heard wonderful things about both the coaster and park. Hope to visit sometime in the future!
Couldn't agree more on Abyssus, I love that ride too, espacially the airtime was much stronger than expected🔥🙌🏼
6:43 Thank you for giving this ride credit where it's due. Many enthusiasts give it flack and hate on it without realizing that it was a prototype and literally the reason why we have world class Mack coasters now, everyone has to start somewhere. I love this coaster and I hated how all the thoosies hate on it and only bash it with criticism, so seeing now that a couple US enthusiasts give it more favorable reviews makes me happy.
Before your visit, I really hoped you would enjoy it since in my opinion it's still a solid coaster although not world-class. Thoosies nowadays are way too spoiled with intense gforce and ejector Airtime monsters that they seemingly forget to appreciate slightly milder rides.
PS: I rode it 30 times in a row last friday, at night, trimless and it ran so good. I wish you, Sean and all the other US enthusiasts I guided through the park were there.
PPS: One of the American Enthusiasts who was at the Park with me in December now has it within his Top 25 ranking, it ran this well!
PPPS: Aight I am done.
I agree with it. It is my no.1 coaster because of multiple factors, and I hate seeing Thoosies bashing it.
I agree so deeply with you on Abyssus - I think it’s magnificent and I loved every second of it
Abyssus is the most underrated coaster and it's still better than Icon I only think that Abyssus could have better 2nd launch and trims on the toppat but anything else on this ride is phenomenal and if you think it's forceless than remember it's a family thrill coaster and if you want pure thrill and adrenaline than go on Zadra or Hyperion but Abyssus is for fun. And Abyssus is going to have it's theming finished in 2023 season
Abyssus has a long ride duration and two launches, neither of which Zadra or Hyperion have. 😉
The most underrated coaster I can think of is probably Dwervelwind at Toverland. It has an awesome soundtrack, great location and really cool elements for a family-thrill coaster. Even after riding RTH which is obviously better, I think Dwervelwind is a lot of fun.
It is kind of controversial but I also really like space mountain. It might not be as amazing as when it opened but I still see this indoor coaster and the steam punk area around it as a masterpiece.
You talked about Abyssus (and I agree, it is forcefull) but I actually enjoyed Formula even more.
Last but not least, I think sky scream at holiday park is really underrated. It might be in the same park as a legend, and the sky rocket 2 model might be cloned everywhere, but it packs a punch !
vogelrok is crazy underrated two
Wodan Timbur Coaster at Europa Park is an amazing woodie as well!
I feel Bellewaerde is an underrated park as a whole. I think we spent about 3 hours there, but I really enjoyed it and Wakala is a solid family coaster. Also, Van Helsing and Abyssus are great rides.
I like this list, although I haven't ridden all of these (except heiße fahrt and Van Helsing) they do seem like they are overlooked. One thing I have done and see nobody talk about is Wilde Maus XXL, I snatched a ride in Düsseldorf and it was awesome, in hindsight I wish I traded my second ride on Alpina Bahn with a second on Wilde Maus XXL.
Yes, Wilde Maus is awesome! I also got to ride it in Düsseldorf. I got one ride on Alpina that was alright, but got one on Wilde Maus that was spectacular.
I rode Abyssus after watching some reviews from people calling it a more "family-oriented" coaster and didn't expect very much. I learned from that moment that I should probably not pay much attention to those people that reviewed it... Its got some fantastic snappy transitions, lots of airtime and strong positive G moments. Its easily in 3rd place compared to Hyperion and Zadra but honestly most other top rides in Europe would be 3rd place to those to in my opinion.
Great video! I enjoyed watching!
Me and my friend going to go to Energylandia next month for 3 days. One day is for Abbyssus only
The only one disadvantage of Blue Fire is that launch is not enough strong to provide a feeling of weightlessness (0g) on the first top-hat (called "wave turn" perhaps, as I know). This is fantastic element, but not if the speed is too slow, because you feel like you were about to fall out of the train in this position. It's also a marketing trick that the acceleration takes 2,5s to 100 km/h, because the real time is about 4s to 100 km/h.
Awesome list. Would and/or brother fancy appearing on a independent podcast?
Yeah would be on the same page with you with abyssus if they would finally finishing building it. I still have the feeling I'm travelling through a construction!
Whahaha, you talk about near miss elements on dragekongen, but for me they were not all near-MISS, I actually hit a lot of plants with my feet 😂😂😂
Haha! Puts a twist on the definitely 😆
Where's Vuoristorata at Linnanmäki (Helsinki, Finland)
I'm going to Energylandia this summer to check out Zadra and Hyperion but I wouldn't be surpised if Abyssus cracks my top 20. On of my personal underrated coasters is Kondaa at Walibi Blegium... It gets a lot of hate for not being what was shown on the original renders. The non-inverting cobra roll is a great element and very very good when warmed up, however that element gets too much hate from RMc fanboys who think it will be like their beloved RMC's (which it isn't but still gives the ride a short break before plunging back down into the action.)
I hope you enjoy it! I wouldn’t call Kondaa underrated, I think most can agree it’s world class.
@@CoasterDash yeah I think it's world class too but I hear a lot of negative comments about Kondaa lately so that's why I think it's underrated.
I love the non inverting Cobra roll too, I don't get why people think it's not good. You just geht whipped down in the back row at the dive and at the beginning it's just nice and floaty. And I am a big RMC fanboy, but still love that element😂
But I think the majority of enthusiasts sees Kondaa as a world class coaster, but there are always some that doesnt agree and don't like rides as much as others do
Great vodeo
Haven't done mystic yet so can't say anything about that one and yes for the exact reason you gave. Mammut and maybe blue fire i think are deserved altough blue fire is still a very nice coaster in my opnion its not as good as i expected. As of van Helsings factory it might just be your age it had good critiques so i woudn't say it was underrated but perhaps its a bit overshadowed nowadays.
And while i follow youre reasoning on rutchebahn and vildcat they just aren''t to greate a coasters so except for their hystorical value they are not really anything to talk about. You could put python on that list to as it was the first extreme coaster in mainland europe.
For the rest i completly agree with you Personaly i like dantes inferno a lot to but thats in italy so i understand that, that didn't make your list.
I love abyssus
Hello thereSuperb ❤
Didn't someone die riding Heise fahrt last summer?
6:06 Uhmm... What is that?
First
I would totally add Taiga, El Toro (Plohn), Fury, Colorado Adventure and Joris en de draak to your list. Now the top overrated please (already seeing the hate incoming from the Train fanboys)
Taron, stupid autocorrect:D
I didn’t ride 10 roller coasters I thought were overrated in Europe 🤔
Not even five haha?
In Germany bluefire is especially, for non enthusiasts, very overrated because they say it's one of germanys best coasters ist just not true
It’s not one of Germany’s best roller coasters. Maybe top 10?
@@CoasterDash its more like in the top 15
Skywheel is TERRIBLE, i rode it and my back hurts so much on the back row, never ever again
I have to disagree on blue fire.. is the most forceless coaster I’ve ever ridden..
I'm sorry, but BlueFire really is boring. It does nothing.
Please go to UK soon
Blue fire has a bad launch tho
