Fenix Review, Toverland Bolliger & Mabillard Wing Coaster | Most Intense B&M Wing Coaster?

[@Silvarret]

Toverland just makes me root for them somehow, more than any other park in the area. They consistently invest in beautiful new additions and transformations of existing rides, and I hope they can continue to do so for years to come. Great video!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@jackbauer408]

Idk. Wing coasters are kind of a generation behind with the addition of 4D roller coasters. Especially having to take into the fact of how cheap roller coasters actually are in the long run, the extra sigh of inserting an additional Benjamin electronic motors will only increase the coasters value and cause more customers and more returning ones

[@dfmvandongen]

The addition of the new Gerstlauer Sky fly attraction, built in the centre of the low banking circle of Fenix, makes this extra thrilling Rides after sunset are even more worthwhile

[@CanobieCoaster]

That sky fly placement looks amazing.

[@lewishamilton.f1.44]

@@CanobieCoaster how would you imagine an formule 1 driver would do against this ride with its g forces

[@phantafan7965]

Fenix was amazing. It's relatively short, but every meter is well designed and every element works well. The airtime on that hill and the sheer intensity of that Helix really surprised me. It's just extremely rerideable and arguably just as fun to look at as it is to ride. I wish the park the best for its future, it truly deserves it.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope the park continues to grow and thrive.

[@Stubwood_on_YT]

Great review, Fenix is such a blast to ride and the way the ride is incorporated with the surrounding landscape is just👌

[@CanobieCoaster]

It fits in so well.

[@Tomtycoon]

2:17 No, it has 6 rows, 24 riders a train

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks, my error!

[@clubstep8244]

Great ride and a good counterpart to troy. I am really exited to see what they do next :D And i am happy to hear that they expand the Avalon area with some attractions

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm happy it's expanding too.

[@ImDredd4ever]

Awesome looking coaster and park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sure is.

[@michaeltaylor1603]

To operate a park even and FEC is NOT for the faint of heart. It takes guts and a BOLD vision to make it work. I think in the long run Toverland will make that back and then some. Look @ Knott's and how its attractions + concept of selling fried chicken and pies evolved. B&M again PROVES that it can put a quality product in a small space.Great review of a coaster I surely have on my "bucket list". HapPy last day of summer!

[@CanobieCoaster]

This park's bold investments seem to be paying off.

[@gb9727]

The 'Toos' in toos express stands for 'Temporarily out of service'

[@CanobieCoaster]

Fitting for my trip.

[@Arma070]

Fenix is the perfect addition to Toverland. The Benelux Area + Western Germany are quite competitive with Theme parks, and it's tough to pick a marketable and unique coaster that stands out among those. I don't think there was a better alternative when you have to compete with the Efteling, Walibi Holland and Belgium, Bobbejaanland, Moviepark Germany, and Phantasialand. That one-two punch of coasters is amazing! I wonder what the next coaster Toverland will is gonna be!

[@CanobieCoaster]

This park just keeps expanding.

[@phantafan7965]

You can just see how competitive they got after Taron, with both Slagharen and Movie Park opening their multi launch coaster a year later and Bobbejaanland opening theirs in 2019.

[@clairefunnell8481]

I like this ride. Looks like so much fun.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@ChocoTaco1111]

looks fun

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@cees04]

A really good review once again. I have Fenix at no. 2 because of its intensity (although I didn't grey out myself), inversions and theming/setting. But I could see why one would prefer a ride like Goliath or Troy. The thing I disagree with is the restraints, I think the 'vests' are too hard, making them very restrictive. I prefer Vekoma's vest restraints.

[@arturobianco848]

They do get a bit painfull when you have to wait 20 minute before they can get you out wile waiting on a ladder. That i can tell you from experience but they are ok for me on a normale run. But i agree with you the ones from Vekoma are more comfy.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I didn't like the gen 1 B&M vests that had no give. Those ones would dig into your collarbone. The new ones are ok to me.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I would love for Tulsa's Incredible Pizza to get a B&M wing coaster. Let's make it happen! I'm a big fan of wing coasters, and I like how this one sounds, with the stronger forces. I don't know if I'd prefer this or Troy.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That would be so funny to see the Incredible Pizza Companies get B&Ms.

[@upsidedown_]

I love this ride

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@user-qz2ld3vt2d]

this coaster made me find out that i dislike greying out. I really hope toverland adds one or two more airtimes based coasters.

[@CanobieCoaster]

At the rate they've been growing, they very well could.

[@singlerailindustries1763]

My First And Favourite Wing Coaster Ever! ( First Rode It In 2018 )

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@gb9727]

The curve of the lift hill is weird

[@CanobieCoaster]

Didn't seem odd to me.

[@NathanHydra]

Ive only ridden Flüg der Dämonen beside this one. And I had no clue this is actually longer than that coaster. This js my fav attraction that I have ever ridden. My only critique, and im surprised you didn’t mention this, is that they left part of thr station building un themed, revealing the green steel box that the station is in (I’ve only visited Dutch parks and Heide park when it comes to parks with large coaster tho)

[@CanobieCoaster]

I didn't look hard enough to see that part of the building off-ride.

[@NathanHydra]

@@CanobieCoaster you can actually on really see it On-ride. But if Fenix runs 2 trains you’ll almost always stack on the brake run, which leaves you to look at said green steel box.

[@SpezyCoasters]

do you have a review of toverland as a whole?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I will soon.

[@JoshB333]

Need a Swarm review now 💰

[@CanobieCoaster]

I need to reride that one. Only got one ride on it due to crowds.

[@arturobianco848]

I really like it haven't done a lot of winged coasters but for me flug der Deamonen is a more rounded coaster while Fhenix is smoother and has more intensity. I rated flug just one place higher in my favorites list but i did that one under perfect conditions.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I much prefer Flug.

[@halenarouzer9257]

What is Toverland? is it a coaster in states or out of states? I can see this over at Orlando, Florida in the the wizarding world of Harry Potter, since they had one in one of the movies.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a park in the Netherlands.

[@pardinensis]

According to CoasterStats, the helix only hits 3.5Gs but sustains these for quite some time. It's still hella intense though

[@CanobieCoaster]

I've seen stats the ride pulls 4.8-5 Gs. I agree the big thing with the helix is that the Gs are sustained.

[@chargedonpc9989]

How does the helix compare to the first turn on I305?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Not as intense, but this one will surprise you since it doesn't have the same reputation.

[@maxhagenauer24]

I am very surprised you get airtime on a B&M Wing, I know ow of hangtime and some floaty feelings on inversions on wings but actual airtime from a hill surprises me, especially on a B&M with vest restraints. And this also looks to be the best wing in terms of positive Gs, this might be my new favorite. And whippy is a terms that is not used very often at all when talking about wings. I did not think it would be like this but it sounds so much different than Gatekeeper, X Flight, and Wllild Eagle which are the 3 iv ridden.

[@CanobieCoaster]

These bunny hills on the Europe ones are great.

[@coasterconquistador2517]

Your reviews are just so good. I’ve only been on two wings, wild eagle and gatekeeper. They were both fun but kind of forceless. So I hope to get on Fenix one day.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Fenix has more power for sure.

[@alantrotter2077]

How do you rank all of the B&M wing coasters you have ridden? I’ve ridden all 4 in the US but I wonder have some of the ones in Europe matches up with Thunderbird?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have a video ranking them. Flug moved way up after my rides this year though.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Which B&M wing coaster do you prefer, Fenix or Swarm at Thorpe Park? Why?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Probably Swarm

[@gemmachaos]

I've only ridden Flug der Daemonen as the other wing coaster, and I like that one a little better. Fénix has a great first and second act but no third act. It needed a finale of some sort, like the demon's knot on Flug or the keyholes on Raptor or X-Flight. Although that might have disrupted the pleasing symmetry that Fénix has from off ride. Nevertheless I think Fénix is the best thing Toverland could have added and I can't wait to see what this park does next. Look at all that land you see from Fénix' scenic turn, all waiting to be developed.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree the finale could have been better.

[@CivilianSatellite]

I personally find Fēnix to be my favorite wing coaster. With the exception of Thunderbird, all the other wings I've ridden sort of feel the same. I think I just prefer Fēnix's blitz of energy over the graceful acrobatics of the other wings.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like Flug best.

[@mitchellries256]

So, what exactly is the theme for this ride supposed to be? I understand that it has something to do with Celtic mythology, but what's the story exactly?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I think it's themed to Merlin's Phoenix and you face a dragon.

[@tigovanrooij9926]

Fenix has 6 rows not 5. So there are 24 seats per train. Nice review btw :)

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks, I'll fix that.

[@bluetomato2184]

Best wing coaster for me! Flug der dämonen is close though!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer Flug.

[@88tibro]

This rides first half is so intense, that I am actually glad it does not have much more duration after that helix 🤣

[@CanobieCoaster]

I was willing to take it.

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

1:51 Speaking of Lord of the Rings, I really hope we get to see a park or at least just a land in a park themed to the Tolkien universe one day

[@arturobianco848]

The closest one ive seen is this one in Toverland it is realy pretty also the restaurant there gives you that hobbit vibe. Its a small area but nice. Only thing thats not up to scratch is the backside of the station of Phenix wich is really a shame cause otherwise it would have been close to perfection.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Isn't Universal looking into adding one?

[@srivanthareti244]

whats a fec??

[@CanobieCoaster]

Family entertainment center

[@SeanAthiestson]

Isn't it 24 riders per 6 car train?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes, I fixed that.

[@sqoomsh]

“Most intense moment on any wing coaster” Is skyrush a wing coaster?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I meant B&M wing coaster. Skyrush (if you count it as a wing) has many more intense moments.

[@Musel-ie2zi]

Fenix doesn't hit 5g but 3,5g for like 4 seconds which is almost the upper legal limit. :D

[@CanobieCoaster]

Makes sense.

[@admiral_ikea5243]

I have only ridden Fenix and Flug der Dämonen in terms of wing coasters, FdD is a fun and smooth experience with some decent hang time, Fenix throws really strong forces at you and the Helix will try to kill you in the best way possible.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer Flug.

[@jtwoolley]

why do you want me to picture it?

[@CanobieCoaster]

?

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

This Wing Coaster is pretty loud compared to the others

[@CanobieCoaster]

They don't have immediate neighbors to worry about.

[@cedarpointfan5]

What’s more absurd is a random FEC getting bought by Funspot and adding a multimillion dollar RMC

[@CanobieCoaster]

True!
