Speed Monster Review, TusenFryd Intamin Accelerator Coaster | Norway's Most Famous Coaster

[@coastermax8915]

Speed monster does run in the rain, and its probably the most reliable coaster at tusenfryd

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks for confirming it actually can run in the rain. I know European parks run things in precipitation more frequently than the US, but I was skeptical since I saw Heide and Thorpe close their accelerators even in light rain (while keeping everything else open).

[@andrewthelegend42]

@@CanobieCoasterStealth is very inconsistent with rain closures, sometimes it closes in slight rain but a lot of the time they give a warning that “the ride may be uncomfortable” and continue with operation. One time I got a night ride with heavy rain, no countdown and almost a rollback. It was like being shot by a firing squad in the dark!

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

This coaster positively surprised me when I rode it. I have a weakness for coasters like this. Not the strongest layout, but one I really enjoyed and I still found the airtime to be ejector on the hills

[@CanobieCoaster]

I didn't get ejector. I tried it early in the day and towards the end. Still a fun ride though.

[@First-Drop-Studios]

Well most of the ride looks tame, the visual of charging through the forest and seeing a coaster do a Norwegian loop through an escalator looks cool enough to make this a bucket list coaster.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It definitely has cool visuals.

[@hennings7026]

the documentary about this getting built is a german tv classic

Thank you for the entertainment and allowing me to learn about Ronny Schafer.

[@michael7054]

Great video! Sounds like a family coaster to me. Which there's nothing wrong with that. Definitely looks fun though! Looks scenic as well which is an added bonus!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's family thrill to me.

[@michael7054]

​@@CanobieCoasterThat's great!

[@TedsCoasterChannel]

Glad they managed to compact the crane spaces properly during construction! #iykyk

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thank you for some entertainment tonight.

[@360coasters]

@@CanobieCoaster What was that joke about? I don't get it.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Look up the documentary Rollercoaster Dynasty. It talks about Ronny Schafer's job building coasters. During the part when he's building Speed Monster, he goes on a rant.

[@marcustulliuscicero5443]

Und da soll ich jetzt 60 Tonnen draufstellen?

[@VillasByrne]

Personally, i will take this over Dessert Race a d Rita. As much as their launch is way stronger, i think the rest of the layout of Speed Monster is a lot more interesting. I found its airtime stringer than you did and i think the Norwegian loop os one of the best inversions in Europe!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer Rita and Dessert Race. While repetitive, those s-hills have good power for me.

[@woodskevinm]

Definitely agree with you on your review. Looks a lot more exciting than it is but still a fun ride

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's solid for sure.

[@KKcampa]

I love it so fun and not intense, perfect with storm for a 1-2 pounch

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a solid top 2.

[@SeanAthiestson]

I would give this ride a bit more credit for the scenic views and interesting entry set piece that it is for the time it was built. The lower launch intensity might be adding to the up time, seems like a great fit for the park when it was built.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's entirely fair.

[@singlerailindustries1763]

It May Not Be The Tallest , Fastest Or Longest Accelerator Out There , But It's A Fun And Enjoyable Experience For What It Offers And The Location For It Is Beautiful And Fits Really Well.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a solid ride for sure.

[@krak3979]

Would love to see Intamin come back to norway and expand on this coaster or make a new one somewhere else in the park to serve as the elite coaster of the park. With the addition of Storm makes the park have lots of different intensitiy. But it still lacks a longer expirience with the same intensity as Storm. So with a longer and more intense expirience than the pretty tame Speedmonster, the park will be well rounded. Progression intensity: Loopen, Speedmonster, Thundercoaster, Storm and then hopefully a future elite coaster from Intamin

[@CanobieCoaster]

I doubt they'd extend this coaster, but maybe they'll build another in the future.

[@Thrills_And_Chills_WQAQ]

Pleaseee tell me there’s a thundercoaster review in the works that coaster looks very interesting

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes

[@ericthomason8463]

I don't know if this is true or not, but the Roller Coaster Database says that the layout was originally gonna have a corkscrew in place of the second S-hill.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I've heard that, but I couldn't confirm it with a second source when I looked quick.

[@Fox_on_a_Rollercoaster]

I always wondered: At what point do you consider the (positive) forces to be powerful or bone crushing? Since this is a veeeery subjective topic I would like to hear your take. Personally I don't grey out until I got rerides on coasters or flatrides with 4,5 - 5g's or up. Anyting below that I just find the forces "okay". But this coaster is high up on my bucket list. I like the most intense stuff, but a scenic location can make a ride better than the most powerful ride around. Terrain coasters are my favourite anyway.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a combination of their strength and how sustained they are, so it's definitely subjective.

[@Celatra]

personally, i don't feel the forces much even at 5g's. laterals i feel more. but i dont really rank coasters based on forces, i rank them based on smoothness and layout and location.

[@bluetomato2184]

Fun. Just fun.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@Thelightning1out]

I’m surprised this thing isn’t problematic with that hydraulic launch

[@CanobieCoaster]

It also doesn't have insane top speeds like the bigger ones.

[@Thelightning1out]

@@CanobieCoaster that is true

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

That first launch does look rather tame

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's solid, but weak for an accelerator coaster.

[@Rolla_Costa]

Die Kranplätze müssen verdichtet sein!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad so many comments referenced that video.

[@rollingcoasterscanada7317]

If you were to place any given Intamin Accelerator at Tusenfryd, would the majority of them become your favourite in the park?

[@CanobieCoaster]

All others I've been on would.

[@Dantino10]

Nah not really. If you ask any local what the most signature coaster at tusenfryd is 90% would probably say Thundercoaster or Loopen

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh ok, thanks! My Norwegian coworker always talked about Speed Monster specifically.

[@QuietGambit]

I love to use this to chill. It is not intens

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's fun.

What do you think about the smoothness or the roughness of: Speed Monster at Tusenfryd Helix at Liseberg Roller Coaster at Lagoon Boardwalk Bullet at Kemah Boardwalk Impulse at Knoebels Flashback at Great Escape Taron at Phantasialand Montu at Busch Gardens Tampa Afterburn at Carowinds Lightning Racer at Hersheypark Lynet at Fårup Sommerland Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom Skyrush at Hersheypark Wilde Beast at Canada's Wonderland Mako at SeaWorld Orlando Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain

[@CanobieCoaster]

All those are rerideable for me.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

On the smoothness or roughness list, I included Thunderbolt at Luna Park and Stampida at PortAventura. And I was asking you about those two coasters in smoothness or roughness. What do you think, Canobie Coaster?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thunderbolt has some shaky spots and tight restraints. Stampida is pretty bumpy in spots.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

What do you think about the smoothness or the roughness of: Speed Monster at TusenFryd Comet at Hersheypark Thunderbolt at Six Flags New England Thunderbolt at Luna Park Orion at Kings Island Silver Star at Europa Park Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Dare Devil Dive at Six Flags Over Georgia Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg Steel Eel at SeaWorld San Antonio Ride of Steel at Six Flags Darien Lake Thunderhawk at Dorney Park Stampida at PortAventura Rampage at Alabama Splash Adventure

[@CanobieCoaster]

Stampida is the roughest of those, but I can ride any of them without much trouble.
