This goes faster than it looks, Much fun actually!

[@mitsimmer9452]

This is so much fun when you don't expect you will drop! In real life the drop looks so much faster!

[@baselhamed9186]

When it dropped like my heart fell with it

TRUEEE i thougt it got broke

[@Aaaanggg]

Is there a loop?

[@lucaherman6227]

When I rode this I was not at all prepared for that drop track it scared me pants less.

[@cheezlerino]

I tried it. Believe me, it's not as slow as on the camera, it's much more fast. Like, ALOT.

[@IDKYHM]

I went on this when I was younger I loved it :)

[@glossymistake3114]

@Ironmaster 09 damn bro that rly means nothing

[@Mochiness7]

Yeah and when I was riding it the drop felt longer ghhaa

[@Ollijohnsen_09]

True

[@jayparrenas8839]

Does no one understand it's a family theme park? This was made for families to enjoy, not for you to scream with 100 drops and loops.

[@twisterthetwistytwistism]

Jay parrenas I like parks like that, their perfect for me! If anyone else likes that, they should check out Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA.

[@benji-to4mg]

I'm embarrassed to admit that I went on this once and was the first one to start screaming

[@birdexpert3739]

Same but not first i was 2 who sceemed

[@NiklasHenriksen]

Normally i dont do stuff like this, but my cousin convinsed me to do it, I Screamed through the whole thing and my cousin was dying of laughter, When it started rising i felt the biggest feeling of regret in my life

[@MrHumbleton]

Everyone screams at a rollercoaster

[@blaze6097]

Me too lol

[@Didyus]

It’s actually an amazing coaster! Despite the drop track not being themed I still really enjoyed this! Does have some room for improvement though

I live in Denmark and I was in legoland today and it was so fun too try this again💪🏻✨🌷 this ride is my favorit ride in legoland billund

[@CoolNebraskaGrl]

I agree. I love rides with good drops, but I also like non intense, calmer rides. I personally think this ride looks like a lot of fun.

[@xylofoxliterature701]

I’ve been on this ride in Billund, and I think it’s great! Not as scary as it looks.

[@ufoludDziad]

the drop is scary but only on the first ride because you don't expect it

[@Didyus]

@@ufoludDziad nah only the hill shortly afterwards

[@A-bomb-fx4pb]

That looks awesome hope they make it in Florida

[@A_A610]

In these comments: people who fail to understand the definition of a "family coaster".

2nd intamin vertical drop coaster is the best! Sorry thirteen, but you have been OWNED!

[@BarryMahcockiner]

Well, that last section was pretty.. pointless. No idea why you'd go to the effort of the track tilt mechanism to just let it basically dawdle back to the station.

[@aaronisgrate]

exactly what i just was about to type. why build a complex elevator system when a decent hill would have been much better lol. and cheaper.

[@pandaplayz6899]

it was amazing and really fun not expected if you don't sit first

[@MadiUk77]

It looks like a mini "free fall" - look at the descent speed.

[@BigAngeloSantorini]

You really feel the fall and you dont expect it. It's actually a really great idea. And great ride overall. The video does not show the greatness.

[@campinavla]

it feels a LOT faster in real life, and its kind of like a jumpscare lol, since you're just watching a movie and suddenly it falls down lol dont be so sour

[@FNf4ni]

i'm from denmark and i tried this ride 10 times yesterday! really fun!

[@Gajaz1]

Robb have the best job ever, hes doing roller coasters all day long and he get paid !

[@freddyspaghetti1055]

There's a big building beside the ride. You can spot it sometimes throughout the ride. To all the people who say the coaster looks boring af, try the attraction in the building. I'm not going to say what it is, but you can go there and try it yourself!

[@rrphillip]

One of the things that you need to consider about the LEGO theme parks is that everything is made with the kids in center, larger kids and adults wont feel as awed by them. My son, age 4 loves The Dragon (LEGOLAND) its his favorite ride in the world. Kiddie coasters and family coasters is just right for him, he's been in a few Hyper Coasters but they are still to scary at the drop. So just remember to filter when looking at coasters, who is the intended audience ? and would they like it ?

[@carschmn]

It’s a nice roller coaster. The free fall drop is exceptional

[@coasternut3091]

It was a small drop for small kids. They're not just going to stick a a drop like the one on Giant Drop (Australia) It's Legoland dude. And Zierer makes some pretty good stuff.

[@rasmusmagnussen]

I've try this and after the freefall you laugh, are in chock, talks with the hand mate, etc. and you aren't even thinking about the tide anymore ;-)

[@combineoverwatchc13]

I don't know why people here are being such critics of this. It may not be my cup of tea, but then again it's not a super coaster filled with "Thrills and chills" and a bunch of super theatrical effects and such. It's meant for a certain demographic and even I can see that. If anything, it's a great place for the younger ones to get accustomed to the thrill rides that we all know and love. It's for starters and novices. Quit being overly subjective.

[@nutbutter]

Dude, when i was younger prob more than 4 yrs ago i hated that first hill cuz for me that ''seat belt'' thing kinda went forward and made me feel like i was gonna fall out from the side. Cuz i always rode in the front seat to the right

[@NastyBoy221]

My first was vortex from kings island and my 2nd was aerosmith-universal studios at the age of 6 then space mountain-disney world. I love them all

[@eddytheviper]

I think it looked great, perfectly sized for a lego land park and actually, it looked much faster on the handheld POV. Top work LegoLand.

[@lol0924]

Yay I saw the claws when just entering a tunnel "BEAR's bearing down on us!" xD Legoland is changing into a more playful park.

[@flame623]

Its built at Legoland, so therefore its a family coaster.

[@zac613]

I should be washing dishes and cooking supper.... but that stuff can wait while i watch TPR videos! :)

[@butterdog2773]

looks like nothing here in real life damn its fast

[@themeparkreview]

Just added a link to a photo report in the video description. Ride seems to look MUCH better in some of those off-ride shots, and the theming looks closer to the concept art. Maybe the POV just doesn't quite do the ride justice. Look at the photos and tell us what you think!

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

They look great!

[@Kwint.]

[@ChadDominicSahilan]

This actually looks like a more-than decent kid's coaster. I don't see why everyone is complaining about it.

[@themeparkreview]

I disagree. I think Legoland rides are PERFECT for their demographic. I know from first hand experience that my five year old daughter LOVES them. I think if you're looking for Top Thrill Dragster, you shouldn't be watching a video of a Legoland ride. Your comment can essentially be thrown in the trash bin.

[@maxbjork7804]

When i went on the Ridr yesterday right before the drop inside the ice cave a pigeon flew right by my face

[@themeparkreview]

This comment makes zero sense to me. You answered your own comment. Legoland *IS* a family theme park. If you're looking for a park with lots of thrill rides, Legoland isn't for you. Their demographic is families, and I personally think adding big rides to attraction non-families would be a step in the wrong direction and a HUGE mistake. If you want one of the best family parks in the world, go to a Legoland, if you want a bunch of thrill rides, there's Six Flags. Don't mix the two, please!

[@chimayai]

Kind of like a Roller Skater and a Dragon Wagon had a child. Cool concept and great family fun.

[@DWaterCooler]

This reminds me of Sierra Sidewinder (but without the spinning cars).... if that makes sense. Not too fast! Eeeek, except for that down part!

[@anders19287]

in legoland billund coasters aint made to be scared.. its a children themepark..

[@rasmusmagnussen]

Legoland in Denmark is making coasters mostly for childs and family coasters, not for hardcore teenagers... Also there is an Airport next to Legoland Billund that makes a limit of height... Just stay in UK to get wild coasters ;-)

[@oskitrainspotter]

I ride on it yesterday it's so fun!!! 😀

[@astridbirgitteovern7662]

Looks like a great «beginners» ride. A little bit of speed and fun for the youngest members of the family.

[@MegaThilde]

maybe this isn't one of the coolest rides i've tried, but it's still one of the most pleasant and funny!

[@rikkewagneroldager2331]

I are from Denmark and i love Lego and Legoland

[@ellafrisk03]

[@cooperboy64]

the first of its kind was built recently in england at alton towers, where most types of coaster is invented tbh

[@caveman86753099]

It's definitely a family/kid roller coaster. No steep drops or high speeds. Short ride with some animation thrown in near the end. It's alright but I'll take some loops and speed any day.

[@TrixMaxDK]

Enig med Kristian!!! Det var MEGA fesent

[@Plasmix_]

Thi3teens drop is better it takes you by surprise in a dark room It’s a family coaster

[@NiksDjs]

I read the description on legoland's website and It sounded a lot better, there isn't a great amount of themeing present but I guess its a kids coaster and the drop didn't actually seem 5 meters at all.

[@RALLER56]

I go to try this roolercoaster in my summerholiday i can not wait !!!! :)

[@EddMusgrove]

The main ride section seems a lot faster and more exciting than Thirteen

[@antonerbs]

I live in Denmark... THIS IS A OVERPOWERED ROALLERCOASTER!!!

[@PacmanRandomNo]

Even though it's for smaller children, this ride does look fun. My only qualm (if I HAD to find one) would be the pacing for the hills after the drop section, which looks really slow even for the demographic. It makes sense when the train reaches the penguin area, but not for the area before it. Regardless, the ride does still look like a great family ride, and entertaining for all ages.

[@nxll420]

yeah I went on this. I was so scared. and and I passed out... best school trip ever

[@mistertitanic33]

the roller coaster elevator was amazing! its probably the only one in existence but the ride does seem to need a few tweaks.

[@coastermaniac16]

Th13teen at Alton Towers and Verbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg both have the elevator drop

[@mistertitanic33]

so, Hollywood Tower of Terror has an elevator drop also

[@coastermaniac16]

mistertitanic33 yes but its not really considered a roller coaster

[@MasuleDreahelif]

coastermaniac16 The are many elevator drops on RollerCoasters.The first one was Thirteen at Alton Towers opened in 2010!

[@NocturneFexy]

Coastermaniac16 And, Wonder Mountain's Guardian at Canada's Wonderland has one as well.

[@alexishernandez5790]

@Krazycoaster It must have been a typo because i've worked on the ride, myself, and it's a 16 foot freefall. If you look at pics, which you can find on theme park review or google, there's not a chance the freefall is only 6 feet.

[@MarcusDorsey]

This still looks pretty cool for a family coaster! No pun intended.

[@themeparkreview]

I do agree, though, that the theming on the ride could have been better. Especially the section before the drop, where you spend most of your time just outdoors looking at buildings. Then again, I guess Dragon is kind of like that too after the dark ride section.... Personally, I thought the best looking part of the ride came AFTER the drop!

[@LightOblivion]

You right, and it that respect it is a pretty cool ride. Specially if you dont know about the drop :)

[@jannisreijenga2252]

This rollercoaster is inzane!! Its like the ice rock is strate coming into your face

[@AddATudez]

Only 2 coasters predate it--the first was Th13teen in the UK (to have the elevator/drop tower element) then Verbolten in the US.

[@NiksDjs]

It does reach their demographic but legoland is normally very well themed/presented. Where the drop occurs the area doesn't even look great I think they need too make it feel like your actually falling through the ice which I can't see they've actually done a decent job.

[@alexf02071999]

Depends what you like. This has a better outdoor section - Thirteen's outdoor section is trimmed to death. But I think Thirteen has a better drop sequence and superior theming. Basically they're about even. The one that stands out above them, of course, is Verbolten ;)

[@GB_B]

I LOVE THIS RIDE :D

[@phishscuits]

if only the second seg was a little longer and faster after that drop track section. this looks sick tho

[@AmatsuNL]

They won't. Besides, this is supposed to be a kiddie ride, plus Verbolten has a really cool drop ala-BBW.

[@OperationsStation]

Everyone here should know know that this is the first true freefall on a coaster, as Thirt3en is controlled in it's drop.

[@MrBak17]

Great ride... just like every rolercoaster :D

[@themeparkreview]

Do keep in mind this is Legoland. They design rides for small children. Unlike Alton Towers, who designed a pleasant ride for families, but told everyone it is the most extreme ride in the universe and was going to kill you if you even thought about coming anywhere near Th13teen! ;)

[@MuscleCarFan01]

looks like a fun family coaster.

That was manufactured by Intamin. Similar systems, I believe. Intamin seem to do that, the first wingrider was Intamin, but B&M have built lots since, but Baco is the single Intamin.

[@Jonnybowden0]

Really good for Legoland

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

It only looks half finished, but at least it has some theme too it. Better than coasters that are all steel and concrete. Maybe they'll add more theme in months or years to come. Overall I like it.

[@AddATudez]

Technically only half true. Th13teen in the UK was made by Intamin and was the first coaster to have a built in drop tower. Then, Zierer built Verbolten in the US (bigger than Th13teen) and this one (smallert han Th13teen)--so same idea and Th13teen started it, but this is a different company.

[@skystreak1983]

Oh, this thing's adorable.
