Ride to Happiness Review, Plopsaland De Panne Mack Spinner | World's Best Roller Coaster?

Ride to Happiness by Tomorrowland at Plopsaland de Panne is the second Mack Xtreme Spinning Coaster. The original in Time Traveler was a great ride, but Ride to Happiness is on an entirely different level and it has a case as the world's best roller coaster. This coaster has crazy inversions and airtime start to finish!

[@zacdavid184]

CoasterStats did a Ride to Happiness POV with G-Force data showing that the drop off the tophat pulls -1.73Gs in the back row. I've been dying to get on this since the moment it was announced. Great review.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@SkyrushFanboy]

That's almost as much as SKYRUSH 🤯

[@BrendanCorwin1030]

I put a accelerometer on Liberty Launch and the ride will pull 1.7G on the top of the first launch, so that's about as much as a S&S double shot

[@CoasterStats]

It definitely is a great rollercoaster. You'll have to ride it in the evening, when it unlocks its full potential.

[@stijnvangurp9432]

The tophat in frontrow pulls -2.13g👏🏼

[@Lucky_9705]

I am surprised that a coaster with trains this heavy can produce such strong airtime and pacing

[@CanobieCoaster]

The hills are super sharp which may do it.

[@Coaster_Contrarian]

Got the chance to ride this today. It has displaced SteVe as my No.1 coaster. The airtime in the back row being pulled backward over the top hat is unreal.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's amazing.

[@SkyrushFanboy]

This ride blows me away just looking at it. Seriously looks like one of the world's best coasters. Getting ejector airtime while spinning, combined with the theming and SLAPPIN onboard soundtrack looks like one of the best experiences in the world. Even if it weren't spinning, this coaster would be insane.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree.

[@thecoasterflood]

This ride truly does make me and the other riders happy

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sure does!

[@toptiercomments840]

This really looks amazing. Mack is seriously good with layout design, and I hope more of their coasters begin to proliferate in North America in the not-too-distant future.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope so too.

[@roxynano]

I think Ride To Happiness is one of the best names for a coaster. It really fits the feeling of riding! Many extremely intense coasters go for an INTENSE DARK TERRIFYING THEME, but I think at times it doesn’t fit for some coasters. Diamondback for instance I expected a hard intense ride but instead I felt like meditating while riding. (Off putting) However rides like Velocicoaster even though it is has a intense theme, when I ride it I feel like I’m in paradise. Not in danger. So I appreciate an extremely intense ride to theme itself to a joyful fun time!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's an interesting juxtaposition.

[@tomm2213]

Velocicoaster is like the thrill and fun of running with the raptors!

[@lisacornil]

I just got on it today and it was mind blowing. Best ride ever. Almost like an out of body experience in some way. Definitely my favourite ride ever!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Glad you loved it!

[@BassGuitarSlide]

Rode this last week on a trip though Belgium, and it is easily my number one spot: The great elements (especially this double inversion after the second launch while spinning is absolutely insane - or the double up), the comfy cars and restraints, beautiful theming and the soundtrack make this coaster a fantastic experience!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree!

[@MarkThomasChannel]

I rode this today 5 times. It is the best coaster I have ever ridden. It left me speechless and giggling like an overexcited school boy. Outstanding.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a spectacular ride.

[@Arma070]

Man I was so hyped for this ride, and you make me want to ride it even more! I'll definitely make my way over to Plopsaland next year. Thanks for the review!

You're welcome!

[@CanobieCoaster]

[@mathieujacob4474]

Great job on this in-depth review ! Your ride break down was brilliant and allowed me to revive this ride's awesome experience... As a quick note though, you insist a lot about how fast the ride spins (like a top), but it definitely isn't nauseating and shouldn't hold anyone back from going and riding it. All it does is enhancing the experience !

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's faster than Time Traveler but never tea cup levels.

[@rikparren5157]

awesome breakdown! glad I can finally put a name to that INSANE flying snake dive. this coaster is my new nr 1! rode it 18 times during my first visit and ill be visiting again in 2 weeks, oh I cant wait to ride thing thing again! great review!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@StamfordBridge]

Wow. This sounds phenomenal, and thanks for the detailed review. I already love Time Traveler so it’s hard to imagine a version that kicks that ride up several more notches. This is a must ride for me, and I suspect that for me, as it was for you, this might vie for my number one.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's Time Traveler on Barry Bonds steroids.

[@StamfordBridge]

@@CanobieCoaster lol

[@notsospoopybob]

Got to lap this 4 times in the back car solo without getting off (thanks ride ops!). I certainly felt it afterwards. Number 1 for me for sure

[@seanmccaul9192]

Good in depth review man! I've always liked your reviews.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thank you!

[@82seaside]

i did this coaster today for the first time and i was trembling all over my body when i got off. ive had ny share of thrills on several coasters but this one tops the list by miles. The feeling troughout the entire ride is simply stunning. Time stops when your riding this one and where allmost any coaster stops at nearly 15seconds...this one kept going for 38 seconds. The best i had so far and with the bar set at this level after today...im not sure it will be reached again very soon. a MUST for every coasterfan outthere.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's incredible.

[@megaplexXxHD]

I live near europa park and have been a big fan of the mack family for quite some time. And it just makes me happy seeing them put out this banger coasters! Stunning

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is fantastic.

[@joshmore7175]

The layout looks so cool, i feel like even with the standard mack trains thus would be amazing, but the spinning cars would make it absolutely incredible

[@tway4724]

I was on this one and it's the craziest coaster I've been on. The launch feels insane because of the spin. I went in June this year and there were no bugs, so that's a plus!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It had a lot of issues the days around my visit in July, but the ride was still exceptional.

[@ijyama6046]

I like the choise that the first roll is like a portal to another "romorrow"land. Because the bushes block blocks the view to the other guests and the mystical sound from sound a bit like a ritual before the launch. But you need a few rounds to rly get all the joy about it becuase the first ons are like "wtf happend". The outside section of the waiting area is beautiful at night. There is a smooth ambiant soundtrack and the incomming trains illuminate it.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree!

[@lennartschneider]

This coaster, as said in the video, is so good for re-riding. I went there on a really empty day and Ride to Happiness had a walk-on for almost the entire day and no breakdowns. Therefore I was able to ride it 30 times and boy it didn't get boring at any time. Definitely I would visit this already good park just for that coaster and IMO it´s a must do for any Themeparktour in Europe. So I say: ride it, when you get the chance.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I will try to hit it anytime I'm in Europe.

[@AirtimeProductions]

Great review! I could easily see this being my number one, yes over Steel Vengeance

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's incredible.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

Great review! This has been on my radar, but it would seem that I've been sleeping on this one. I thought it would be better than Time Traveler, but I didn't think it would be significantly better until watching your review.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I had been eagerly awaiting this coaster ever since it was announced.

[@CivilianSatellite]

Man, I was already hyped up for Ride to Happiness, but after this review, I realized I still wasn't hyped up enough lol. It looks like Mack has outdone themselves with this coaster; I'm eager to see how the next extreme spinning coaster comes out.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's insane.

[@cometravellingwithrob8249]

Excellent review and TRTH is a definite top 3 coaster for me now. Had 5 rides on it on my visit to Plopsa and every ride was different. That first inversion is insane.

[@CanobieCoaster]

My favorite inversions are the last 2.

[@yoinktube]

IMO it absolutely has a case as the worlds best, when I first got on I was a little sceptical because I just did not believe those who hyped this thing. Boi was a surprised, this thing eats Untamed and Zadra, probably the best in Europe and maybe worldwide too. So glad I got to experience this (and at night too)!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's amazing.

[@NiekNooijens]

Just rode it today and I find it difficult to compare to untamed or zadra (I've ridden both multiple times) because it's just such a different experience. I think all 3 of them are top noch, but comparing them feels like comparing "eating an apple" to "playing a video game" they're two completely different things.

[@jamesparkerjr5539]

You ride everything, man. Great review! REALLY hope another North American decides to build one this extreme.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope so too!

[@Danrarbc]

Holiday World could use another steel coaster. Just saying.

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

I rode this coaster last weekend and I can confidentiality say that this ride even delivers on colder days, it's also my personal favorite Coaster now and I am sad that it is so far away from me. But it's a good reason to return to Plopsaland de Panne this year, multiple times.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's good to hear!

[@paalnordahl5562]

Rode this today for the first time (first 8 times). It’s the best rollercoaster in the world! I’m still a little speechless. To have a completely different experience each time is incredible, and the disorientation is insane. How strange to find it in this little family park in the south of Belgium. Can’t wait to get back on it!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's so reridable.

[@oldhog9132]

Actually it's right up in the North-West side of Belgium right next to french border. I rode it 3 times and the 3rd time I had sooo much head pain.

[@Joypyf]

Amazing review!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@gametime2473]

I think this concept of coaster could be the best coaster in the world. I have ridden Time Traveler and it was amazing. I can only imagine how insane this would be. Can you imagine a hyper version of this, the list of options is endless. The programmed spin is what makes the ride so incredible.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd love spinning seats on a hyper.

[@sandwalkingco]

I totally agree with your review!.. I just did this coaster. It was amazing. I have done coasters all over the world and this was by far the best.!! I did a POV video from the front and the back. I rode it about 20 times and the rear was by far the best. It seemed the rear gave the best random rides and totally out of control experiences.!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like the back best too.

[@alantrotter2077]

Based on ACE's announcement that Belgium, Poland, and Germany are the countries for next year's international trip, I would expect this park to be on that trip. I'm strongly considering going on the trip next year and adding Walibi Holland for Untamed. I was expecting that Untamed, Zadra, Kondaa, Expedition GeForce would top my bucket list. Sounds like I need to add this one to the top of the list. Very nice review!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Of the coasters I've ridden in Europe, Untamed is the only one I may prefer.

[@coasterstar_]

Ride to Happiness going down is a reocurring theme. This coaster is at one of my home parks and it is amazing! This could be on of the best coasters in the world!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hopefully it becomes more reliable.

[@DarvasKristof]

I became totally excited seeing this video. Planning a short visit to Belgium and till this moment, I wanted to go to Walibi, but I may change my plan and choose rather this park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

This ride is incredible. I missed Walibi last year due to the flooding.

[@kasperhaerynck8043]

I live in belgium like minutes away from the park. And the coaster is insane! I have a subscription so I can go when I want. Also Anubis thre ride and heidi the ride are great coasters.

I'm glad Belgium has gotten a lot of amazing coasters lately.

[@noahkiel2454]

[@tobiasgunther4661]

Top review! I rode it yesterday. Very innovative and fascinating. Some elements are also among my favorites (Top Hat, Flying Snake Dive, Double Up). The launches are also a lot of fun and the restrains are awsome! BUT... I did get a rattling or at least some uncomfortable vibrations in the back car in the morning, especially in the inversions in the first half. I don't know why, it seems like nobody mentioned this before. Maybe it has to do something with track warming up? It was the first ride in the morning after a 1 hour downtime. It was better in the night in the 3rd coaster car. Maybe I was not in the best physical condition. I also found the positive G-forces in the valleys to be unpleasant... it is a bit strange, because otherwise it was a phenomenal ride! Let's hope the rattling will not become an issue in some years.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I only rode in the second half of the day, but I didn't have the rattle you described.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's amazing.

[@juliancoasterking]

This thing is a beast😍🔥 I can't decide betwen front and back, the drop of the top head and the final double up is better in the back but the the front gives the strongest ejector I've ever experienced on a coaster rising up that top head (up to -1.9 G's but I've heard that they've slown down the launches a few weeks after opening, idk if this is true) and you get pulled trough the first inversion of the flying snake dive so hard which makes it my favourite inversion along with Untamed's 270° double inverting corner stall. The most people I know prefer it in the back but I'm always a back row rider and here I can't really decide. Even though I've ridden it 15 times, every ride was a bit different because it always spins indivdual which makes it perfect for rerides. But I think this investment mabye was a flop in the park because as you said, it always has short lines. I've been there on the first saturday after opening day, I've got almost All credits and 11 rides on RTH even thought I took a lot of photos and videos. It reminds me to what people say about I305, the thoosies loves it but it's too extreme for the GP. But mabye that changes in the future, we will see. But at the moment it's my number 2 behind Untamed and I think it's defently one of the best coasters in the world🔥🙌🏼

[@CanobieCoaster]

Most people at this park were young families and kids. I wouldn't say the ride is too intense for the average parkgoer. I just think the average parkgoer at Plopsaland prefers tamer rides. Meanwhile, thrill seekers come to Kings Dominion and even some of them find I305 too intense.

[@clubstep8244]

It was the First step for them. It reminded be alot of Holidaypark, another Plopsa Park with alot of family rides but then there is Expedition GeForce

[@Kawaii.panzer]

[@thequackenscoasterchannel2927]

Your new favorite roller coaster??? Damn this thing is now really high on my bucket list. I love Time Traveler but this definitely looks better!

Possibly. It's really unique so I'm trying to figure out how it compares to my other favorites. It's top 5 at worst.

[@thequackenscoasterchannel2927]

@TheHoffenator7 I'm not Canobie Coaster but it's Lightning Rod, which is also mine😃

[@bedholm6131]

The vast improvement this made relative to Time Traveler are immense. While I love this ride I can't put it any higher than 15 as it does feel a tad short and the unpredictability of how I'd go through an element was a detriment. Crazily enough I still think Helix and DC Rivals are better Macks. Pretty much everything you said about this ride i do 100% agree with.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I definitely prefer it to Helix. I can't wait to try DC Rivals since an ejector airtime filled layout entirely in reverse looks insane.

[@seugoi7460]

@@CanobieCoaster As soon as I can get over to Plopsaland I will. DC Rivals is in my home park and is my current number 2. The thing is monstrous and backwards is the best coaster experience I have had by a long shot (even better than trimless voyage) but somehow I think Ride to Happiness might be able to dethrone it as the best Mack in the world. It looks seriously insane and I'm also excited to see how it compares to Eejanaika. I just really love coasters that can disorientate you and send you through elements that make you question your safety and this seems like it does both very well.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@rct800]

6:55 If you look at some of the construction photos you can see that there is a magnetic device next to the track that makes the trains spin during the launch. Time traveller actually has the same thing right after the station.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Makes sense! I think this one must have the same things when you leave the station as well.

[@juliancoasterking]

As far as I know does this brake just hold the car while it's moving forewards which makes the car spin because it's moving forewards but it's holdet back so it starts spinning towards the start of the Launch track. I don't know if I explained it well but yeah... 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

Probably similar to the magnetic spin controls on an S&S Free Spin, but on a different axis.

After watching, Yup, great ride. Bucket list coaster for me. Belgium is also the place my favourite beer is brewed in; Atlas 10 (which is 10% ABV); although now where I live only Atlas 12 (which is 12% ABV is available,) which I have to especially order for the BCLCB (British Columbia Liquor Control Branch) in flats of 24 units of 500 ML (about 17 oz) cans. But it's the cleanest, most delicious, inexpensive beer for its strength available, which I rate a 9.7 out of 10, since it's a tad too strong tasting, whereas Atlas 10 is perfect: the porridge Goldilocks chose (Lager is essentially fermented pablum ;) like pablum, Lager is essentially a malt and water based substance.

This ride does have a lot of hangtime.

[@maxhagenauer24]

Withouta doubt the best spinning coaster. Time Travler changed the earth but this has a banana roll, Jojo roll, and flying snake dive. A SPINNING coaster with a FLYING SNAKE DIVE! Where else can you find that? That inversion also looked a lot more whippy than I thought when I saw the POV.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The flying snake dive is nuts. One of the world's best inversions without a doubt.

[@stijndesaedeleer8395]

I agree with everything here except the s turn into the second launch, you need that “breather” element to be able to enjoy the entire ride

[@CanobieCoaster]

I would prefer the breather not being there myself, but I understand why it is there.

[@MattMcIrvin]

It's kind of interesting that with any kind of rotation (horizontal or feet-over-head), coasters in which the rotation happens in a programmed way under ride control are relatively rare with only a few instances standing (probably because these ride systems are much more complex and potentially unreliable), but coasters in which some kind of randomized free spinning occurs are relatively common. And what we're getting now are systems where the rotation is "free" but moderated and initiated by magnetic gadgets. The X2 4th-dimension system bankrupted Arrow and has only been built a couple of times by S&S, but the Free Spin derived from that is a hit. Gringotts and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind are high-profile one-offs, but spinners are everywhere and now Mack has a way to kick them up a notch.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Euro-Mir is another early one that was more controlled from Mack.

[@MattMcIrvin]

@@CanobieCoaster True! I'd forgotten about that one or maybe I thought it was more free-spinning. You can tell that Mack has been thinking about doing something new to the spinning coaster for a while.

[@MattMcIrvin]

..and I was thinking that S&S's Axis prototype was programmed rotation, but it's not, it's free rotation, kind of like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train gone extreme. Though the rotation it actually produces seems less chaotic than a spinner or Free Spin.

[@aridaje4345]

I'm giving my opinion, I know that can be different than other people, but I just think that this ride has the perfect level of intensity. The elements of the first half of rth are less intense than the ones in the second half, but this is good because you can enjoy more the intensity of the 2nd half without being too sick after those in the 1st, so you can have an amazing ending of the ride. Also, while the 2nd half focus more on the airtime, the 1st is more about hangtime and positives, so there's a combination of every force you could have in a coaster (obviously with the out of control feeling which is present the whole time) without being too much or monotonous, like only focusing on airtime or only inversions. They say that will put another extreme spinning coaster in holiday park which will be even more intense, having the same lenght but a more compact layout. But if you put more elements in the same lenght for making the ride more intense, they risk to be too next to each other and, combined with the spinning, you are probabily not able to enjoy each one, because they're blended together. There's too much happening. And you'll probabily end up being sick at the end of the ride, so it won't be so re-rideable. Sometimes I think there's a limit for everything: more intense doesn't mean better. Of course the layout could be even more extreme on paper, but remember that's not a ordinary coaster. The re-rideability, the fact of not being too intense (for many people it still is) and the mix of all the forces you can imagine on a coaster are the things that make rth perfect in my opinion. And if these are the premises for the new coaster, I don't think I would prefer it to rth.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It really is a beautiful ride that dabbles in a bit of everything.

[@quintocreations5091]

These are cool. But that's what they are. Cool novelties. The spinning element turns it into a carnival ride. And BTW it'd Mack like Back, Pack, Rack.

[@CanobieCoaster]

When I met the owners of Europa Park a few years ago, they said it was pronounced "mach" instead of "mack".

I thought it might be possible for this to be better than Time Traveler but for it to possibly be better than the 1,000+ other roller coasters you've ridden is such a shock.

[@CanobieCoaster]

This ride is incredible.

[@heysatan8]

I really hope they make one of these in the U.S. I want to ride it so badly but I can't justify flying from US to Belgium by myself just for a single rollercoaster.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope a US park builds one as extreme as this.

[@Paolo8772]

Before watching this: You're just hitting all my bucket list coasters these days! How is that possible? (And I just came back from Canada Wonderland last week but you already know that.) BTW did you know that the working title of Ride to Happiness was "Time Traveler"? It's true, that title based on the next biggest spinning coaster they built you also have ridden.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad this got a unique name instead of Time Traveler.

[@Paolo8772]

@@CanobieCoaster It was just its working title; they obviously weren't planning to call it Time Traveler.

[@vespinonl]

Couldn’t agree more. Wonder what you’re doubting could top it 🤔

[@CanobieCoaster]

I may still prefer rides like Lightning Rod, Steel Vengeance, Voyage, and Untamed. But that's it.

[@vespinonl]

@@CanobieCoaster I agree.

Thank you!

I am so happy this is in my home park, howhever I went to energylandia for 3 days and zadra does top it

[@CanobieCoaster]

Zadra is amazing, but I prefer this since it felt more chaotic and unique to me.

[@upsidedown_]

@@CanobieCoaster I can understand that. For me zadra is my number one after ridden it 19x

[@Ryna-fq1dy]

I went on this omg!!!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@ronaldkoeken7656]

So i did Zadra this summer and it took the top spot in my list and i was wondering what could top it. Then i went to Plopsaland I couldnt believe how great it was.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's exceptional.

[@MrPanziboy]

it's simply amazing, but a bit waisted on a family park like plopsaland as mentioned in the video... did parks on three continents and this one is by far my favorite!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree the fit was weird, but the ride is exceptional.

[@zacdavid184]

By the way, you must be right about the magnetic actuator in the launch meant to get the cars spinning. You can see it very clearly in the off-ride launch beginning around 7:02-- there's no other obvious reason that last car should start spinning so suddenly and forcefully that you can see the rider's head snap. Super cool though!

[@CanobieCoaster]

That is what is used.

[@zacdavid184]

@@CanobieCoaster neat!

[@DaanBruins]

Are you gonna do a review of the entire park eventually? I'd love to see your opinion on this amazing and well themed family park. Though i do think people don't appreciate the theming as much if you haven't grown up with Studio 100 Kids shows..

[@CanobieCoaster]

While I wasn't familiar with the IPs, I could appreciate the theming and atmosphere. There will be a review at some point.

[@zacharystewart5344]

My thoughts are its my no3 bucket list coaster after Rossa and SteVe

[@CanobieCoaster]

Makes sense!

[@titanicant258]

This makes me wonder what the next Mack Xtreme Spinner will be like...

[@CanobieCoaster]

I can't wait!

[@Mobi666]

Question where did you find the soundtrack that you used in the background of your vid?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I had a recording from my POV and it has been posted by others on KZbin.

[@ryanleeuwis1602]

I rode this amazing coaster and i L O V E it it is an amazing coaster amazing theming amazing music amazing eveything by far my numer one coaster ever btw i think i have good feel for the coaster bc i rode it 12 times on 1 day bc it was do dead in the park

[@CanobieCoaster]

Even on busy days, it seems like the crowds are more interested in the family rides.

[@ryanleeuwis1602]

@@CanobieCoaster yea but when i was there no rides had any lines not even tge family rides

[@JFrombaugh]

Fun fact: With the exception of the one on this coaster, every Banana Roll to date has been either black (Takabisha, Steel Curtain) or green (Shellraiser, Defiance).

[@CanobieCoaster]

Interesting

[@Tibo11]

as a belgian who went to plopsaland literally yesterday, hearing Plopsaland da pan is painful XD, i can update you though, when i visited the ride didn't break down at any point, it was continuously running with a 10-15 minute wait

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad it ran well for you! Sorry if I mispronounced it!

[@outlawrunner9940]

Honestly the only thing that Time Traveler truly has over Ride to Happiness is that hillside setting in the woods, that and I think the drop out of the station is better than the JoJo roll. Plus I think the train designs complement the steampunk theme rather than futuristic. I would be happy to ride this tho

[@OutlawRunnerSDC]

Yeah, Silver Dollar City has fantastic settings for all of its coasters, but Ride to Happiness is definitely better. I hope I can ride it someday. Another thing, Time Traveler has a better name than Ride to Happiness

[@CanobieCoaster]

The setting really is the only advantage. While Time Traveler starts with a crazy drop, the one on Ride to Happiness off the top hat is better.
