My last piece of vlog Voltron content as we attended a very exclusive evening event at the park that we were kindly snuck into!

[@Heifer2997]

I LOVE, watching a ride with a fast interval run. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a theme park ride with 2 or 3 trains run around a coaster at the same time. It's like watching a well coregraphed dance. And you know the queue is moving quickly.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Can’t believe it can run 6-7 trains at any given time…

[@Heifer2997]

@@LiftHillsandThrills see Space Fantasy. 19 trains at once! (Also Mack, although designed by Universal Creative)

[@lwebster7100]

man they thought of everything: photo opps, theming, backstory, lighting, capacity, interest/uniqueness....what a masterpiece in creativity

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

👏 absolutely

[@lizsavagar2860]

This is what all new coasters should be like..... Mack just raised the bar so very high.....the lighting is awesome. Love hearing your reactions on the ride Sean, and did you notice hardly anyone was screaming they were all laughing instead😂to me that shows what an amazing ride this is. Great vlog again, such a joy to watch, thankyou❤

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It’s just the surprise of it all, it truly is incredible

[@danny.ray101]

I am very sure the annoying screaming grass roots will come as soon as Voltron is open to the public - they scream on purpose.

[@Geogadddi]

Wow what an amazing day & looks to be a truly spectacular ride. The outside seats look insane.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Outside seats are scary! 😂😂

[@corefamilyadventures]

That is totally mental at night!! It’s quite well lit too but it doesn’t spoil it, it just makes it more epic!!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Agreed!

[@musicthatmadeus946]

It’s that joyful giggle for me 😄 thanks for taking us along. It looks mental!

I can’t wait to ride in summer Im goign 4 days back to back and 1 day Rulantica Im so excited!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Enjoy!

[@DiveCoaster85]

This has truly raised the bar - the Mack family must be protected at all costs! What does that bounce track element feel like? Love that they didn't have to engineer that in, but did anyway!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It vibrates and bounces but the stabilisation doesn’t pick it up haha

[@dirchyboy]

Subscribed, hoping I can get a night ride when we are down there for Traumatica in October, looks great at night

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thank you so much! Ah I’d love to do Traumatica! Looks amazing

[@timduncan9745]

So glad i booked a full week in September now staying on site in one of the hotels..so many amazing rides to get around and this has just upped the game to another level..definitely packing some motion sickness tablets though with you saying you tapped out after 3 rides in earlier vlog..you usually seem fairly tolerant to rides!..how was breakfast in the hotel? You seemed to enjoy...amazing content you created by the way these latest vlogs

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thanks Tim, breakfast was meh.. it was OK but I’m not much of a breakfast person!

[@YannR34]

Again... At night, you show everything I want. 👍

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I’m glad!

[@deanshaw6588]

I would sell my soul to ride this lol I never thought i'd say this about a rollercoaster overall this is a beautiful rollercoaster especially seeing it at night

Think it’ll take some time but I pray to the KZbin gods we get there aha would be nice to achieve that and I love the idea of having like a community all loving and appreciating the same thing!

True that!

[@davidsthemeparkadventures]

Absolutely mega Shaun. I know you don’t rank coasters but would be interested in watching a vid about which are your top coasters and why.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I really couldn’t rank them I’d just throw a bunch in a bucket and churn 😂

Looking forward to queuing 4 hours for Hyperia for a 30 second ride. Meanwhile, in Germany, they build coaster that have a good length and pacing!

For sure! But Hyperia is around 90 seconds 😝

[@jamesgriffiths3031]

Wow. Now I gotta visit Europa! You're an honest guy Sean. So your hilarious reactions on such a relentless ride mean this thing is as insane as it looks 🤣. I like how fast it bounces through each element! Do the launches feel as impactful as Stealth?

[@mattdaaamon]

Have you decided where this ranks in your coaster list yet? Sorry if I missed you saying it. Edit: Read below it's your number 1. Wow. I still say you must have caught on to some lack of content for parks from the UK market for local and international parks. I subscribed because there was not really anyone I could find providing the same type of coverage. I see the subs consistently go up unsurprisingly.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I just appreciate anyone who watches! Means a lot!

[@win33adam]

Seems like Germany is the place to be at the moment.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Sure is

[@sparkyUK]

How would you compare the pacing/launches with Taron at PhantasiaLand?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I wasn’t a fan of Taron after doing much better Intamin coasters before it, kinda ruined it for me. The launches on Voltron are more forceful, faster and quieter!

[@sparkyUK]

@@LiftHillsandThrills which did you feel were much better? I need to tick off more european rides!

[@joeltownley8037]

The themeing looks better than vc

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Easy

[@ballbag]

Look at this and then look at Hyperia. Absolute joke how bad our new rides are in the UK! The theming alone is amazing

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Yup

[@adamtrue7691]

Why can't we have nice things like Europe does instead of half hearted Merlin Theming. I'm gonna start really hating that company if they manage again to scupper universal coming to UK

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I highly doubt they will, Universal will boss them all over the shop

[@badmoonrising7795]

I’m still in shock, I can’t believe how good it looks in real life compared to animations. I hope towers could get one of these, they don’t need to much height and they’re absolutely stunning.

It’s unreal… from start to finish. For a prototype… yeah… EVERYONE is going to want one 😂

These Voltron vlogs are coming thick and fast mate, I'm loving the content at the minute, also answering everyone's comments must take you an age! That tesla coil going off in the queue line would drive me crazy if I was in there too long. The one at Thirteen drives me nuts too. Honestly though what a great ride this is.
