Huracan Review, Belantis Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter | World's Worst Eurofighter?

[@CoasterHipster]

Really apprentiate your research into the wider context of this coaster installation. Contrasting your experience with other enthusiasts also help making your review insightful. Great job 👍

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@Adar512]

Honestly belantis is such a gem of a park, with some cool and unique rides to its name and some decent to good themes

[@florianplack2973]

Maybe, but don’t set your expectations too high when visiting 😅 I think it’s okay, but I would still say it’s far from good

[@CanobieCoaster]

I enjoyed my time there. I expected the worst based on what I heard, but a lot of the park was well-themed and there were some good rides.

[@phantafan7965]

@@CanobieCoaster I feel like German enthusiasts are often a whole other level of critical :D Parks like Movie Park and Heide Park seem to often be looked down upon by several German enthusiasts and criticized for every decision, even though both parks are still absolutely decent and not bad at all.

[@KingJohnson1985]

@@phantafan7965 I am German and i absolutely like Heide Park, they have an amazing coaster line-up. Movie Park also is quite good, but has 2 painful coasters. Their only elite-coaster is Star Trek, however they also have some nice flat rides. I cant understand why so many germans are so negative when it comes to Heide Park and Movie Park, i like them both, however my top 3 are still Phantasialand, Hansa Park and Tripsdrill (yes Europa Park is not in my top3, which may change though, once i've ridden Voltron xD)

[@swiftbinn5680]

You are underrated on here man great video as usual !

[@CanobieCoaster]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@taptoplayde]

Rode this last year and hated it. It was extremely rough and my ears hurt because of the shoulder straps. OTOH I loved the Wild Mouse in the castle: Smooth and fun (similar to the one at Tripsdrill). Belantis is such an underrated theme park. It's no Europapark, but it's a small park (as in: green things and a lake) with some rides and has many attractions for children. It's charming, slow paced, relaxing and often completely empty. You can have a really good time just relaxing at the beach, looking at the lake with the sound of a rollercoaster behind you 🙂.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree the park has some good theming. 3/4 of the park looks really nice.

[@AirtimeProductions]

Dude wow you weren’t kidding this ride does look like it has head banging! In a few clips I see people’s heads going side to side into that restraint!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I don't know if I got the magic seat in a lucky vehicle, but I didn't have that issue.

[@alexbaker7722]

I rode a couple of times on my visit (front and back) and I didn't find it all that rough, in fact I thought it was pretty decent all round. Certainly the best coaster at Belantis. I liked watching the birds nesting in the station, like a bonus animal exhibit. Lol.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The birds were cool until they pooped.

[@maxhagenauer24]

I only ridden Mystery Mine and I absolutely hated it, definitely one of the roughest coasters I ridden so I don't know if I would enjoy this. It still has a strong layout with good trains.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I didn’t like it either when I rode it in 2015

[@CanobieCoaster]

Mystery Mine is weird how it's roughest when it's going slow.

[@KingJohnson1985]

I got to agree with you. I visited Belantis yesterday, i had a front row ride, which was very good, but as you said, a decent amount of shakiness, which wasnt as worse as i expected. So this was a good experience, but then i had a back row ride, and yes, i can confirm what you think, the rattle in the back row is significantly stronger and causes headbanging. So avoid the back row.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Front seems the way to go then.

[@KingJohnson1985]

@@CanobieCoaster yea had a painful ride in the front though, but that was due to my knee-injury, not the coasters fault xD hyperextended my knee 3 weeks ago

[@jojo_hendriks]

I actually quite like this ride, and I rode it 5 times back to back during my 2020 visit, but I avoided the back row. It’s actually my second favorite Eurofighter that I‘ve ridden (out of 4), and the slight rattle and few bumps didn’t bother me much. The Zero-G roll on this ride is easily one of the best inversions I‘ve ever experienced, it’s so snappy.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad I stuck with the front.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I haven’t ridden this but besides that first drop that Zero G Roll looks super intense

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's very snappy.

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

That’s a funky looking cobra roll

[@CanobieCoaster]

Gerstlauer doesn't make many.

[@andyroman8223]

Wow it absolutely rips through that Zero G roll!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sure does!

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I love that wacky cobra roll

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's fun, but the ride's weakest inversion.

[@felixcoasterjunkie232]

I live in Leipzig (Belantis is located in Leipzig) and I hate Huracan. It’s so Rough. I Even like SLCs more than Huracan.😂 But I‘am glad you liked it👍

[@CanobieCoaster]

Maybe I got lucky!

[@mateoalvira7826]

What do you think about iron shark and huracan in smoothness and layout?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I only rode Huracan up front. It was tolerable up there, but I heard it is pretty rough further back.

[@mateoalvira7826]

How many coasters did you find rough or shaky enough to cause a headache?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I don't have an exact number handy.

[@Derangedlefty]

The only Eurofighter I've done is Iron Shark, I thought it was smooth, yet mild.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Iron Shark is smoother than this one, but Huracan has a much better layout.

[@KingJohnson1985]

you should do Flucht von Novgorod in Hans Park, arguably the best Euro Fighter in the world, or at least one of the best

[@lunastilllovesquag1574]

The front to back row difference is really huge. I had the luck of being able to get multiple rides in a row, just staying in my seat because noone queued up. Front was super enjoyable, but the back I couldn't handle for too long.

[@lunastilllovesquag1574]

@Tom Whalen hiya ^¬^

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad I got the front.

[@Paul-dh7yx]

I think that Huracan and Belantis in general still have the bad very bad reputation from when it first opened. But over the years they really improved a lot, and it now is a decent family park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The theming is good in a lot of spots, but there are some confusing sections.

[@firestar5213]

I have to say you're right. In 2020 I only rode in the front row and it had not had headbanging.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Good to know!

[@mateoalvira7826]

For example, from Vekoma, which coaster did you find surprising?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hyperspace Mountain

[@ethanhcomposer]

My biggest question is why does Gerstlauer seem to make rough rides? Any answers?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The weird thing is that some are smooth. Others are not.

[@upsidedown_]

I've heard it's because most off them are over supported but not sure

[@mateoalvira3514]

For you, the roughest coaster of all in the world, bit rougher or a lot rougher than Huracan? is Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Coaster Express is way rougher.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Of the videos made in 2020, in which one would you have placed Huracan at Belantis?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Probably surprising coasters.

[@tommycoaster1911]

So idk what you did wrong, but I've been to this park 6 times and the longest wait I had was 10 minutes. Mostly as lol of the coasters there are station wait all the time

[@CanobieCoaster]

Both Huracan (no other ride at Belantis had a super bad wait) and Freizeitpark Plohn had long lines when I visited.

[@tommycoaster1911]

@@CanobieCoaster Well that sucks, one day in October I went to plohn and got 30 rides on each dynamite and El toro not even station wait always walk-on and we were able to stay seated for 4-5 times a row xD. Even tho I only experienced this extreme emptyness only once in all my 10 visits

[@KundenZentrale]

well, that's just what happens when you go during school holidays.. same as in the plohn review

[@taptoplayde]

@@CanobieCoaster Rules for Belantis: Outside holidays and on Monday. Zero waiting times the whole day. Really: Zero. There literally is no one in this park.

[@mackenziefritz8169]

This ride’s layout is like a mid-2000s B&M looper. All it’s missing is a vertical loop and dive loop

[@CanobieCoaster]

Pretty much!

[@ChiefBlueScreen]

I was going to say Fahrenheit. You steal our ride, we steal yours

[@mackenziefritz8169]

@@ChiefBlueScreen lol true, but what got me on this ride is the cobra roll followed by a midcourse break run and interlocking corkscrews

[@mateoalvira7826]

Which other coasters in Europe did you find as surprises? Examples:

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have a whole video about surprising coasters.

[@centraljerseycoasters7997]

Is the cobra roll like hydra’s?

[@CanobieCoaster]

This one has more force to it.

[@MattMcIrvin]

The layout reminds me a bit of Fahrenheit. I think I'm not a good judge of roughness on OTSR inverting coasters just because I've found some smooth that other people regard as unbearably rough. I think that something about being 5'11" and/or the way I ride makes me relatively resistant to headbanging from janky transitions.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It does have some elements of Fahrenheit.

[@mateoalvira3514]

The roughest coaster for you in the world was Ninja at Six Flags St Louis?

[@CanobieCoaster]

No

[@mateoalvira3514]

For you, was Huracan at belantis the roughest coaster in the world?

[@CanobieCoaster]

No

[@mateoalvira3514]

Did you find Huracan at Belantis as a surprising coaster?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes, I heard from most it was rough.

[@paco1461]

Are you going to a anubis the ride review ?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Possibly. I had limited footage of that one due to how tucked away it is.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Did you like predator at img worlds of adventure? Why?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's fine, but it is rougher than other Eurofighters.

[@360coasters]

What is the world's worst Eurofighter in your opinion?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Predator. It has one of the simpler layouts and it's shaky.

[@cobenharriman718]

@@CanobieCoaster have you ridden speed no limits? I think that that one is the worst.

[@arturobianco848]

I Road this coaster in 2020 on a slow day. I can tell you i needed a break after 5 rides without getting out i believe i was in the middle seat but it could be the back one. Defently rough but not the worse coaster, i liked it but you need to space the rides a bit.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad you had a tolerable ride. Some say they're one and done.

[@mateoalvira7826]

What was the worst gerstlauer eurofighter you've ever ridden in the world? Why?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Predator at IMG Worlds of Adventure. That one ran rougher than the others.

[@chargedonpc9989]

This ride looks decent assuming it's not too rough in the front.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's tolerable up front.

[@coasterkarl1022]

I wish it has lap-bars like Dare Devil Dive
