Mahuka Review, Walibi Rhone-Alpes Intamin Hot Racer | Best Single Rail Coaster?

[@AG7-MTM]

I honestly wouldn't mind having slower rides that trick you into assuming high speed like this - the ability to make smaller coasters feel similar to their super-sized counterparts seems like the future

[@CanobieCoaster]

This ride proves stats aren't everything.

[@Presidentofcheze]

@@AG7-MTM somewhat started with the same manufacturer when they built Maverick!

[@phantafan7965]

In the end they aren't tricking you into anything, they just adjust the elements so that the pacing can be good and the forces can work well. I'm definitely all for it, rides like these allow small parks to build high class attractions with way less resources.

[@verybighomer]

Imagine having it installed in a US park and you would have many more channels raving about it. Great theming, the pure coaster itself looks nice too. Especially the double top hat is beautiful and the cars are cute. Pacing seems impeccable. It was not intended to be a super thrill ride that leaves you breathless, yet has enough forces to be fun for experienced riders.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope something like this comes to the US.

[@mikaoleander]

i love how this is essentially a mini-blitz. this really seems like an amazing option for parks that don't have the space or the money for a full-sized blitz coaster but want an attraction that offers similar forces and a similar overall feel

[@CanobieCoaster]

It does feel similar.

[@ParKnight]

I want to ride this so bad, I LOVE how the Hot Racer looks!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a great ride.

[@Le_JYT]

This is my introduction to this coaster, I didn’t even know this was being built! It looks incredible and that last inversion looks comparable to the Mosasaurus roll which is my favorite element of all time so this is quickly rising up my bucket list

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a fantastic ride.

[@whylifeis4]

I really hope this model takes off and more parks buy one, this model from intamin looks promising

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope so.

[@crashcoaster3852]

This coaster proves height and speed means nothing. Also I think it's cool that the brake run is basically a reverse tire launch.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It transcends the stats.

[@Posirep]

Pretty sure Maverick proved that 20 years ago

[@crashcoaster3852]

@@Posirep It goes 70mph, this goes 42mph. There's a difference.

[@Posirep]

@crashcoaster3852 yeah but it's a small scale coaster and is generally credited for ending the coaster war cuz Intamin came up with this relatively small coaster that shocked everyone

[@Jackp499]

I think Maverick proved that in 2007

[@paulhammond7294]

I love your content, especially your park and ride reviews. They are always comprehensive and concise. Thanks for sharing.

[@CanobieCoaster]

You're welcome.

[@celebrityrog]

Never ridden on a single rail coaster yet, but seeing this video - I'm convinced there is no other single rail as interesting, unique, well designed and one of a kind anywhere else in the world. It certainly seems the best single rail coaster to me. I'd love it to be my first ride, but sadly, I don't live in France.

[@CanobieCoaster]

This is such a diverse layout.

[@leowatley]

based on how awesome this looks, and how many elements packed in, i was shocked by the tiny track length. this looks like a really excellent model for parks that don't have a huge amount of space. looks great. once again, though, excellent video, dude. you just keep getting better and better. you've definitely become one of the top tier coaster youtubers, up there with eltororyan and coaster studios. when i see you in my feed it's an instant watch.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks! I was surprised how much it packed in given that track length as well.

[@gemmachaos]

So many 2024 rides have had trouble this year. Who knew the second-of-its-kind Intamin would turn out to be the reliable one? Mahuka is the sleeper hit of the year for sure.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It seemed reliable from everything I heard.

[@moosepickles1882]

Considering Canobie Lake Parks legal issue with building tall coasters, this feels like the perfect ride model for them if they ever decide to come to their senses 🥺👉👈

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd love for them to add one.

[@moosepickles1882]

I don’t know how realistic it is for them price wise, but it would give them that standout thrill coaster they’ve been desperately lacking.

[@aaronlesko1929]

Canobie would be an excellent fit. Based on the NebulaZ they just opened, I assume they have cancelled the rapids idea altogether rather than putting it on hold, so I would wrap one around Untamed in the area they’d have used for the rapids. Canobie Corkscrew would be an obvious place for it but I also feel like that area will become waterpark expansion, so who knows. I would love to see these appear in the US, but I have a hard time pinpointing parks that could handle both the cost and the capacity.

[@Coaster-Carl]

Liked and subscribed! You have a very soothing and calming voice to listen to, making everything easy to understand. Thanks for this fantastic review!

[@CanobieCoaster]

You're welcome!

[@maverickheartlineroll]

Only 42 miles an hour cannot be right, this thing hauls and that pacing is insane I hope US parks build these

[@CanobieCoaster]

I had to double check that figure, but that's what the park lists.

[@brutalhellhamerer]

This has to have one of the most fun names to say. MAÖUGHKA

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like the name.

[@iamdigbick4675]

I have heard rumors that Busch Gardens might be getting a single rail coaster to replace scorpion. Now that I know this exists I'd much rather this style over the raptor.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd love to see one of these stateside, but I think the capacity would work better for a smaller park.

[@kingsean7605]

I still think it is a b@m cause of the 2 family coasters all of SeaWorld Orlando but ice breaker and most of bgt. I feel like a b@m hyper or giga cause b@m does deals like intamin

[@pumpnix7243]

2:39 that boy up front 😂😂 He didn’t want anyone to see him having fun or enjoying it He had a smile on his face then immediately 🗿

[@CanobieCoaster]

Lol

[@Andry_]

Fun fact : Mahuka is the only coaster under 20 meters on the Captain Coaster top 100 coasters ranking

[@CanobieCoaster]

I can believe it.

[@shorebreakcards]

Wowowowowwwwww... Mahuka looksINCREDIBLE! Thanks for the in depth review, much appreciated like always 👌

[@CanobieCoaster]

You're welcome.

[@singlerailindustries1763]

In My Opinion It's The Most Beautiful Looking Single Rail Coaster Out There , Walibi Rhone Went All Out On Making This Ride Look Perfect. Plus Intamin Managed To Work Out Some Of The Kinks The Original Prototype (( Big Dipper )) Suffered From Which Shows That Intamin Saw The Flaws In The Original And Worked To Fix Them As Best As They Could And It Shows With Mahuka. I'm Defenitly Hoping To See More Hot Racers Pop Up Around Other Parks!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree it beats the other single rails in terms of looks.

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Hard to believe that Walibi Rhone-Alpes would get an elite coaster like this, but here we are, and this park deserves this dope looking coaster.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They got some great investments in the past decade.

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

@@CanobieCoaster Great to know! Hopefully it's on the level of Holland and Belgium.

[@Aerolandaircraft]

Having been among the first enthusiasts to experience Big Dipper, I think this would be a massive improvement. While Big Dipper was shaky and rather forceless, this looks like an exciting coaster that looks like it could challenge most Intamin Blitz coasters!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is a huge step up from Big Dipper.

[@semkoppejan]

Looks awesome!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@CowsiinCoasters]

this is such a great step for rhone-alpes, the park has always been a step behind the other Walibi parks but this definitely helps bring them a bit closer. I still need to see one or two more quality thrill rides before it's worth a stop for me, but the direction they're moving is extremely promising

[@CanobieCoaster]

Their top 3 is really good now.

[@CowsiinCoasters]

Is timber the third best? I really haven't heard much about it. I'm assuming a review of the park as a whole is coming at some point

[@calvinpetty343]

Intamin absolutely cooked with this one

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes they did.

[@daisyplyler]

I rode this a few weeks ago 10 times because it was a walk on. We RAN to it at the beginning of the day and it had maybe 50 other people there. We were on the first ride. But the park's 2 other "main" coasters had nearly an hour wait each. We had to do single rider and then wait 30 minutes for the wild mouse that my husband nearly got stuck in. Anyways, I don't know how it was a walk on all day on a Saturday in August, but it was and we had a great time! We rode front and back so many times. The front was amazing even though I usually prefer back. It does have a rattle though :(

[@CanobieCoaster]

It shook a bit for me in back, but nothing too bad.

[@kidlamborghini]

Wild Waves outside Seattle could definitely use something like this.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They could use any new coaster.

[@vinewoodstar]

I'm 🤩BSESSED! I would love to ride this. Nice review.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@Nick_J_]

Under 2000 feet and under 50 miles an hour… and yet it still looks thrilling.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It transcends the stats.

[@pfschuyler]

The trains look more comfortable than the RMC versions which straddle a hump in the middle. The two-element arch is fantastic and shows how this can take rides in new directions in terms of budget uniqueness/theming. They need to reduce those vibrations further though, you can see it in the back rows.

[@CanobieCoaster]

These are far more comfortable than RMC trains.

[@benjidillon8326]

The way that I was so happy when Luna Park got big dipper. A single rail coaster, something completely different to anything us locals would have experienced. So exited to ride it, then it turns out kinda shit and shaky. Then a country that I probably may never visit gets this masterpiece of a single rail. This better not happen to us if B&M or RMC ever come to Australia....

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like Big Dipper, but this crushes it.

[@Coasternerd4014]

Looks legit!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@toxicghoul238]

9:51 They did it not just once but twice. Give it up everyone… Mosasaurus Roll 2

[@CanobieCoaster]

It feels a bit different. The laterals aren't as good on this, maybe since the lone rider is perfectly centered. It has ejector though.

[@toxicghoul238]

@@CanobieCoaster that’s the main part for Velocicoasters signature element though I’d say. The ejector straight towards the water. Also VC has a speed hill directly beforehand too.

[@TheWolfXCIX]

How does the final barrel roll compare to velocicoaster?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Similar airtime, but the laterals aren't as strong.

[@Posirep]

Man I wish something like this was going to SFNE instead of Quantum Accelerator

[@CanobieCoaster]

I would have preferred this, but Quantum Accelerator is a nice fit for that park.

[@ProfBAM2113]

How do the trains compare to the Raptor trains? I've done the 2 Wonder Woman-themed ones and I just could never get my legs in a comfortable position. Couple that with the extreme forces the RMC rides pull, I'd be fine if another Raptor wasn't sold until the trains were completely redesigned.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Have you ridden any of the newer generation Intamin thrill coasters? The seats feel similar to rides like Pantheon or Velocicoaster (just with a floor). These seats are far superior to any from RMC.

[@HGgamer12]

Are the fantasy island vids coming soon? I think I was behind you in the line for the volcano ride.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm planning to release those next week.

[@k9feces]

A longer layout could have been the perfect coaster

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd welcome more track, but the ride duration feels satisfactory.

[@Solarcloud]

There is no way this is better than Stunt Pilot in Idaho

[@CanobieCoaster]

I think it is.

[@mateoalvira3514]

What would you rate this ride? Did you prefer this to Jersey Devil Coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes, I prefer it to Jersey Devil.

[@oldchannel611]

Is this the best new for 2024 coaster do you think?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I think Voltron and Hyperia are better, but Mahuka is better than any of the new coasters that opened in the US.

[@ToliiRH]

Does anyone know why this ride doesnt have any footers on the supports? It looks like they are just dug directly into the ground

[@CanobieCoaster]

I didn't notice until you said that.

[@ToliiRH]

@@CanobieCoaster could it be because the track/trains are much lighter than other coasters they don’t need as much support in the ground? Not an engineer though so that’s just my best guess

[@CoasterWolf84]

Front and back feel the same on short elements

[@CanobieCoaster]

They do feel different on some rides even with a short train like Mystic.

[@mitchel4361]

If cheetah hunt was a single rail it would be this.

[@CanobieCoaster]

This feels wilder than Cheetah Hunt.

[@rema1721]

How this rank compare to other french coasters

[@CanobieCoaster]

Toutatis is still number 1. This is probably 3.

[@Offical_Daniel_luna]

Track is black not indigo

[@ninjapwnsatlyfe]

im sorry but welding a plate between two rails does not make it single rail. but hey intamin is great at thinking of names that have nothing to do with reality. just look at their wing coasters.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree it's quite the same as RMC's single rail in terms of the track construction, but they were clearly inspired by that.

[@markgiovando5469]

That's understandable.
