Storm Coaster review by Richard

by Richard, 8 years ago
Rated 3.0 Mack Rides of Germany have sold these thoroughly underwhelming water coaters across the globe. Like most other installations, Storm Coaster is ultimately an average roller coaster with a decent splashdown. The vivid theming that surrounds the ride and features in its climax amounts to nothing that redeems the average physical experience.

An ambitious but ultimately underwhelming replacement for the classic Bermuda Triangle ride.

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Very Good

Effectiveness Average

Considering it's pitched as a coaster -- it's in the ride's name after all -- the ride really struggles to live up to its own hype.

Intensity Medium

A family-friendly experience that culminates in a reasonably thrilling final drop, airtime hill and splashdown.

Rider Comfort Good

Pacing Average

Using an existing building as an themed dark section after the climax of the ride likely saved money in construction but throws off the whole experience.

Theming/Storyline Good

While it ticks all the boxes for a well-themed ride, the storyline is confusing and does little more than set up a vague storm-like atmosphere.

Upkeep/Presentation Very Good

While otherwise an immersive and well-presented experience, sparse expanses of gravel are just a bit too conspicuous.

Queue/Efficiency Very Good

The queue moves swiftly thanks to 8-seat boats and sufficiently efficient load/unload station design.
