Riding El Toro's Little Brother - BALDER (Review & Ranking) | Liseberg (Gothenburg, Sweden)

[@Joshchannel11]

Clicked faster than it took for them to stop selling prefabs

[@BryanMark-mw8sz]

That's some good ledgers humor.

[@Hydra_X9K_Music]

Don't they still sell them? Just nobody's buying them. Too expensive when GCI, Gravity Group, and RMC exist and are much cheaper

[@huntzzio]

… so it took you 10 years?

[@seriomarkj]

Seems like a planet coaster ride when you figure out how to make good airtime hills and then just cram them in, that's not a bad thing (it honestly looks awesome) just the vibes it gives me

[@eekedout]

Very nice break down on this ride. My best is 16 on Copperhead Strike. I’ve also done 12 on Mystic Timbers, 10 on The Beast, and 10 on Orion in one day.

[@collin7631]

When I was young and dumb, I was at Canada's Wonderland (when Vortex was the best ride at the park) and it was a rainy October day and my friends and I rode Minebuster 22 times in a row as the park had practically emptied. Jackhammering on another level, rain that felt like hail and an out of control turnaround with blackhole amounts of laterals. Good times

[@DaveysWonderfulWorld]

For me, the one intimate in steel wooden coaster I definitely want to ride is T express the roller coaster that replaced Eagle Fortress because I’ve heard it’s one of the best wooden roller coasters in the world

[@chipsinsideajar1372]

T-Express opened in '08 and Eagle Fortress closed in '09. There was a 1 year period where both were operational on opposite sides of the park

[@evanmaunders5688]

The trim after the first two elements really neuters the airtime. It’s long and has a great drop though

[@DaveysWonderfulWorld]

@@chipsinsideajar1372 oops 🤣🤣

[@WhatAG23]

intimate in steel wooden coaster?

[@Mononoke18]

I really want to ride Balder even if it’s repetitive. It would be awesome experiencing that much airtime with T bars!

[@Mononoke18]

@TimeWarperr-nq4sb Lol that would be insane

[@SlipMaker]

It’s bad in the morning? So what you’re saying is we may want to wait until Act 3 of the day before we go through Balder’s Gate?

[@AirtimeThrills]

that's exactly what I'm saying

[@toxikavenger9088]

Boulder Dash is like that where its pretty mild when its right as it opens where you get like no airtime on the return run but in the nighttime thats nothing but airtime

[@Feelthefelt]

Always great when a new video by El Balder Chris comes out.

[@ThrillReport]

Those Intamin Lap bars look awesome, Im a new coaster enthusiast but im so excited to ride one, Would you say that they are better than the ones on SteVe?

[@AirtimeThrills]

I have no preference. I have absolutely no problem with either

[@emmawilliams16]

Riding it this Friday!! Can't wait

[@jzckvsn]

Balder looks super interesting. It looks like a great prefab, but the layout looks super repetitive

[@jojo_hendriks]

I already don‘t care that it’s repetitive and the turns don’t bother me either. It’s an ejector airtime machine that even has RMC level airtime, so I don’t really see any issues

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

3:42 I feel the same way about Diamondback at Kings Island. Row 8 often delivers more sustained airtime than the very back row

[@jzckvsn]

The back still gave some great floater though

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

@@jzckvsn I agree. The drop in the back was by far the best drop I’ve experienced on a B&M hyper

[@jameslitwin1726]

Entering this year, my most rides on a coaster in one day was a 5 way tie

[@IntaminFanGRLPowerCoasters]

NEW FAST AND FURIOUS INFO!!!

[@Paolo8772]

I'v never ridden Balder but I rode El Toro last year and I've also ridden Raging Bull last year and Diamondback this year, both of which I prefer to El Toro due to it being rough during at least the past 3 seasons, even before the back car derailment incident of 2021 Balder looks like a mini T Express, which is probably the best Intamin prefab, followed by El Toro. I've got to ride Phoenix

[@gyeongchankim5423]

I think you would love T-express judging based on your love toward Balder(which is basically copied to second part of T-express as a whole). It has that 18 rows train, which makes the back-row experience quite special.

[@MarsJenkar]

Potential video idea: Best Small Coasters (under, say, 50 feet).

[@AirtimeThrills]

Ill look into this

[@MarsJenkar]

@@AirtimeThrills Feel free to adjust the height a bit if 50 feet doesn't produce an interesting list.

[@TheCoasterSam]

Having rode el toro yesterday it’s glass smooth. Got blocked checked on the lift too.

[@jonathanbrumer]

i loved balder. the amount of room i was able to leave on lap bars on my 20+ rides should be illegal. it's in the top 20 of my 1200+ credits. Night rain rides were insane

[@TheTomTracey]

The comparison you make between morning and night rides here and the night ride on Voyage is the same difference as on a Beast night ride. I hope you can make it on there sometime soon

[@ejectorairtime73]

It definitely looks like a fun ride

[@ryan_wii_sports6899]

Somewhere out there there’s a BalderRyan (not me btw) 😂

[@Casual_Memeroriginal]

Great content as always, but can you maybe rank every single coaster EVER from six flags great adventure?

[@impracticallychristopher]

Glad to see you tied your AF1 record! Also, I am resolute that row 8 on AF1 provides the best of all worlds when it comes to forces. The big question - does Liesburg have a yellow safety stripe for klutzes like me? 😂

[@AirtimeThrills]

Europe has an attitude of "youre a big boy, take care of yourself" thats kinda refreshing

[@gemmachaos]

I've never ridden the coaster, but I'm getting balder every day.

[@johnsaugen8646]

17 rides in a day is my record as well on The Voyage. I was spent.

[@harrychicken547]

T Express, Balder and El Toro's baby brother that everyone likes to talk about. Seriously, Balder is the most middle-child coaster, losing all of its attention from its older and younger brother than outshine it.

[@reteledman]

HOLY

[@Colossos.the.Woodie]

"El toro's little brother" Bro intamin prefabs are literally all little brothers of Colossos 😂

[@AirtimeThrills]

Depends what you mean by little

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

2 Prefabs Down, 2 to go

[@Railstar_YT]

And I thought B&M Hypers & Gigas (except Fury & Raging Bull) were repetitive

[@angusbarclay6281]

Pontus is a bad ass

[@nickasta3400]

I totally know what ERT means, but you should probably explain it to the other noobs!

[@F7COASTERS]

I dont know why six flags cant get el toro right they shouldve just gotten intamin to do a full retrack just like collosus and it makes you wonder if T express will soon need a retrack as well.

[@michaelmouse1638]

El Toro isn't that rough this year.

[@XaikuTMH]

I'm not sure if anyone's made this joke already, butr let's just hope that someone doesn't try to shoot this coaster with a mistletoe arrow.😉

[@XaikuTMH]

Since you were wondering what this coaster was named for (and for those who might not get the joke), I hypothesize that this is named for Baldur, a son of Freya and Odin, whose death at the hands of Loki was not only caused by a mistletoe arrow breaking the protection spell Freya cast on him, but was also the trigger for Fimbulwinter, which in turn, lead to Ragnarok.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Yeah its based on the mythology and does not mean Buttocks as google translate said

[@Jason_Maier]

Dont get me wrong, I like the projects Intamin have done. But they're too ambitious for their own good (looking at you Top Thrill Dragster)

[@dabigboyo]

Balder

[@RadGaminGuy]

Video idea: Best magnetic launches in North America

[@Abcdefgx-u9g]

Haven't even watched it but let me guess at some point this dude will say "ROUGH" OR "RATTLE" LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Abcdefgx-u9g]

Update: took ah minute and half before this dude said BOTH WORDS lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AirtimeThrills]

I said it was super smooth dude

[@doritodust123]

ngl I dont think any sane person would usually use that many emojis in one comment but that could just be me
