- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ส.ค. 2021
- Zadra at Energylandia is the world's tallest hybrid roller coaster. Built by Rocky Mountain Construction, this record-breaking steel coaster features several amazing airtime moments and perfect pacing. This coaster is not only the best attraction in all of Poland, but it has an argument as one of the best roller coasters in the entire world.

This thing is literally massive it has to be even more beautiful in person
It has a real presence.
each time i would go on the bridge to the zadra queue, i would spend at least 1 or 2 minutes just gazing at it's scale and listening to the train haul through it
Did it last month 6 times in a row in about 1,5 hours ..without ever having to do the whole queue area again !! They now let you simply walk around the lockers when it is not busy .. takes a minute! Of course, the park was almost deserted this day :)
That's a big help!
Zadra is literally a beast. This thing rips through its layout. RMC always delivers. (Unless if you count those awful Skyloops but that’s not just RMC’s fault.)
This does everything I like on an RMC, but faster.
Calls Energylandia a theme park:
Me: it’s three loosely themed parks with a carnival fair in between
It does have theming, but the old areas don't look as nice for sure.
I was actually really surprised by the theming, didn't expect anything big but especially the new areas look like straight outta Europa Park
@@Joshua___ but the theming at EP isn’t that impressive
@@aarons0683 fair point, still much better than what I expected for Energylandia tho
@@Joshua___ that’s correct!
We rode Zadra during energylandia’s Halloween weekend this year, and the ‘magic night’ rides were insane! The first time we rode, and we slammed into the brake run even faster than that on Lrod’s, I was literally speechless. Could not believe just how fast Zadra gets through its layout. By the time the 5 of us left, we all had Zadra above Vengeance. Yes, vengeance is longer and all, but what Zadra does, it does to absolute perfection.
Zadra is incredible. It's definitely in my top 10 steel. It's borderline top 5 steel for me.
Zadra just looks so relentless; it's great to hear it rides as well as it looks! These ground-up RMCs really feel like the designers having complete creative control without having a pre-existing footprint to worry about.
I can't wait to see more ground ups.
The ride looks so amazing! it's great to hear that it hit the mark that I hoped it would. But that ridiculously long queue and dumb loading procedure would be so frustrating to me.
The ride is great unlike that queue.
Got 4 rides on it today. Agree with everything you said. It’s my first RMC and wow what a way to make me a fan. Unreal speed, forces and smoothness. Top coaster easily.
It's a fantastic ride.
OML!!! This is a gorgeous coaster! That beautiful timber "forest" with elegant track layout. Trains traveling through "delicious" curves, inversions, and hills! Yes! We need a few of these "state side"
Iron Gwazi looks similar.
Zadra personally walks circles around every other rmc I've been on. That pacing is the best on Earth.
Interesting. So it’s literally your number one RMC, Brad?
@@StamfordBridge I believe so, and by a sizable margin
@@StamfordBridge it's my #1 overall even
@@bedholm6131 Wow. I would’ve ridden it this summer if it hadn’t been for Covid. I have a feeling it’ll be a big favorite of mine as well (I remember we tended to love 90% of the same coasters).
@@StamfordBridge always next year. COVID was a nightmare to plan around this year.
Best coaster I've ever ridden. An outrageous ride.
Amazing
Honestly, Zadra looks like it may very well be the best RMC, but Hakugei also looks magnificent. I can't wait for more ground-up hybrids from RMC cuz this is amazing
I can't wait to see more.
Your review made this shoot way up on my bucket list
It's amazing.
We all heard it before, Zadra is an amazing ride. So much airtime and it's an RMC like come on. One thing about Zadra I think RMCed mastered was the layout. It's the perfect length and the series of elements is perfection as well. It mixes different elements together and you don't know what you will go threw next. That's one thing that makes it so great.
The sense of speed is unreal.
Awesome Review Man! Zadra looks insanely good!! Nice Video 👍
Thanks!
As soon as I saw this I knew my planet coaster park needed something like it. This ride looks like the greatest hits of the other rmcs
It has a lot of their best elements.
This is one beautiful looking coaster I must say..definitely need to ride this thing!
It's amazing.
Awesome review! It really looks to be a mix of Goliath at Great America and Steel Vengeance which are both rides I have ridden so I can’t wait to ride Zadra some day
It's a bigger Goliath with a second half.
This looks incredible. Hopefully one day I can visit Poland and try it out.
Hopefully!
RMC at its finest, Zadra is not only a beauty to look at but one of the best coasters in the world 🌎, the zero G stall is heavenly and the you tear through the elements with reckless abandon, great video
It's an excellent ride.
Great review I hope I can ride this one day it looks awesome! Can’t wait to see more ground up RMC’s as well I wonder how the one at funspot Atlanta will be
Same!
I’m going in 2 weeks,my first rmc ,I’m going for 2 days then flying back to the uk all for £20 ,it feels like waiting for Christmas when you were a kid ,
Loving your detailed videos of your euro tour
Thanks!
Not a fan of the RMC conversions so this post makes me very happy!
I like both.
Just rode this today - my new #1 coaster 🔥
Nice!
Cool review congrats on even more international credit ✈️🌎
Thanks!
I've done Zadra 2 weeks ago. First ride of the day, was Zadra backseat.
From all 3 European RMC's it has the most insane ride overall. But still Wildfire has the overall better package, because of it's awesome location in the middle of the woods.
I prefer Untamed most of the European RMCs.
Fantastic ride!
Yes
One of your last comments, when you said the ground up RMC’s are distinct and better, got me even more excited for the fun spot project. I’m dying to ride it, and it doesn’t even exist!
True!
12:40 So elegant looking from a distance! This is one coaster I would not mind riding.
It's exceptional.
Very well reviewed!
Thanks!
been to energylandia 3 times now. After over 16 rides on Zadra, i can safely say this is INSANE. On a rainy day it felt like i was the victim of a firing squad. Ive only been on like 70 coasters, however Zadra remains my top. (hyperion is also absolutely unbelievable. The fact i can get to poland for £200 , flight, hotel (krakow) and ticket, makes it so re visitable for me.
I got some rain rides too at night. It felt fast at all times of day.
@@CanobieCoaster I bet it felt like getting bullets to the head haha was low key not enjoyable in the rain
Yay, this is so exciting
It's a great ride.
Just an update: The fast pass booth can now be accessed from the path that surrounds zadra, you no longer have to walk through the whole queue.
Awesome change!
My top 3 RMC's are Steel Vengeance, Wicked Cyclone, and Goliath. Though I think if I rode Zadra and Gwazi, they would take the top spots next to SV lol. Thanks for this review
This is definitely one of the best RMCs and for many it will be the best.
Zadra is definitly a top 10 coaster for me. This ride is amazing. But the queue line broke if for me. I was short of breath on that day because I had still a light cold and couldn't sleep because of it. I made so many steps despite the low wait times. I wish I could have gotten more rides in but that queue line really puts a damper on the experience. It's still one of my favorites.
I agree the queue line is awful.
i rode zadra two times, both of those times it had a two hour line so i was just happy that i was there and didnt really pay attention to the experience. hoping to do it again soon
It's worth a long wait even if it's not the most ideal.
I've seen an actual walk through of Zadras entrance. Lol it's crazy. Anyways can't wait to see your thoughts on iron Gwazi vs Steve vs Zadra
That walk haunts my dreams.
I just went today, my first RMC, and easily my new #1. Park had pretty high crowds with several school trips, but zadra only running one train. An advertised 10 minute wait took 50 minutes :(
At least the ride delivered!
The turnstile set-up I was talking about is not the usual turnstile. Rather, I was talking about the automatic turnstiles with monitors. And I was asking you how many other rides and coasters at Energylandia and other parks across the world do you know with this loading system?
Most rides at Energylandia use the turnstile counters.
This coaster looks to have probably the best pacing in the world!
It's up there with Lightning Rod for me in that category.
Hey, Canobie Coaster! Zadra was the first RMC Hybrid to be completely built from scratch!
Yes
🥲 work of art
Absolutely.
Ayo another new Canobie coaster review. I'm so glad you finally reviewed it. Is this the best coaster in Europe?
It has a strong case.
When I went last week, it was very quiet so they didn't have the full queue lines open. The exception was Zadra, but we could re-ride without doing the full line again
That's nice they let you reride.
Do the restraints on Zadra have something under the lap bar?
Yes, they have shin guards.
Great video! In your Untamed review, you said it was the best coaster in Europe, do you still prefer Untamed over Zadra?
I still prefer Untamed.
If Zadra has good positives then just imagine how intense Iron Gwazi will be.
I'm excited.
Good review, as always. I consider your review fair warning for me---it looks and sounds extremely intense. While that's great for many riders, it won't be on my list.
It's definitely intense.
i went on it and uploaded it on yt, its really good
Nice!
Yes this is my number four international bucket list coaster! What did you think about Hyperion?
Hyperion was great as well.
1:14 that's A nice comparison
It looks very similar.
The turnstiles I was telling, Canobie Coaster, I'm referring to this set-up. Put here examples of roller coasters with them:
Zadra, Hyperion, iSpeed
Wish I could ride it, looks like what Goliath could have been at SFGam if it wasn't so short.
It's a larger Goliath with a second half.
So the best pacing I've experienced is Lightning Rod. How does this compare? It sounds like Zadra is a more well rounded coaster but there is just something about Lightning Rod that I love. The adrenaline feels insane.
Both have insane pacing, but I like it better on Lightning Rod how that ride keeps building to the crescendo of the quad down.
how many parks are you going to on this trip? it feels like it's been going for ages haha
I've been home for 1.5 weeks. There was a delay uploading footage.
Zadra at Energylandia, and another coaster in the world with a massive looking drop and layout in Mt. Olympus's Hades 360, from Gravity Group. So how would you compare between the two in terms of layout, first drop, pacing, smoothness, rerideability, and aggressive? Also the biggest differences between the two in ride experience, Canobie Coaster?
Zadra has more ejector airtime and it's way smoother.
Went to Energylandia last week and Zadra is incredible, got a night ride that was out of this world. However would say Hyperion whilst not as good is very underrated, middle seat in the front row is mind blowing.
Hyperion is amazing too.
You are right, my favorite seat on Hyperion was also front row in the middle, simply because your feet doesn't touch the ground. Amazing feeling! If I had to sit on the outside, I chose the left one. It makes the dive loop so intens. Just a great coaster! Although I liked both very much, I tend more to Hyperion. 🥰
Great review! Been on 15 RMC's, but only in the US. This one looks real good. I would think it is a Top 3-4 RMC without question. I would assume you agree. Do you think the drop is better than Iron Rattler which I feel has the best drop of any RMC I have been on.
This drop feels like the one on Steel Vengeance.
@@CanobieCoaster So would you have this one in your Top 3 RMC's I assume?
Hoping to get on this in a couple of weeks as my first RMC. Certainly looks spectacular.
Does anyone know if you need more than one a day at Energylandia to do everything that's worth doing? (I don't care about kiddie coasters).
Edit: Well now I've been on it I'd have to say it is indeed excellent. I followed your tip and headed straight there at park opening, and I got several rides with it as a walk-on (they'd opened up a door at the lockers so you didn't have to go all the way round). Having read so much about how amazing RMCs were I was perhaps a victim of hype, and was perhaps a little underwhelmed that it was just a very good roller coaster rather than some amazing, life-changing experience. However it got even better in the afternoon and was positively flying along, which took it from "very good" to "spectacular" for me.
If you only care about the top coasters, one day works.
@@CanobieCoaster Great, thanks. I'm happy to ride more than the top ones, but don't bother doing ones that wouldn't be fun at all just to get the credit.
I really appreciate your taking so much time to reply to so many comments, and to provide detailed information in your videos. Not many go to that much trouble!
The queue and loading process puts me into a confused rage just watching this. I know you forget about it once you get on the ride, but to re-ride might be less common (which is why I think they do this)
It's definitely difficult to reride this coaster quickly. The turnstile process can help single riders if you aren't picky about a specific seat.
Shoutout to how the lift hill points towards Auschwitz and you can see it at the top if you look close enough
Didn't know you could see that from there.
Which is better Zadra or steel vengeance
Steel Vengeance for the extra length.
3:47 so im at energylandia like 2 or 3 times a year, and i go on zadra a lot and the furthest ive ever seen the line be is about as far as you are here. ive also never seen hyperion with even a half full queue
If Zadra's queue was ever filled in full, I don't even want to know how long that would take.
Im not sure if i remember correctly, but i went to energylandia during summer last year, and next to the entrance i think i saw something that said "Best rollercoaster of 2018" wich is very interesting considering it opened in 2019 but i movht be wrong
That's odd.
Do you think any American park would buy a coaster like this?
Maybe Fun Spot Atlanta?
Iron Gwazi looks similar.
@@CanobieCoaster hopefully BGT will open it in the near future so we can all ride it
Was Zadra better than Steel Vengeance?
Not for me, but I could see it for some people.
0:17 is that red coaster the new vekoma mine train.
Yes
Yup!
Another Amazing review, thank you! Would you agree to those people who call it Europe's best RMC?
I prefer Untamed, but this is their second best.
I prefer Wildfire as the best European RMC, because of its location. But Zadra is a very very very close second, because it's a total beast of a ride.
But Untamed is a huge surprise. It's only a small coaster but still kicks ass big time.
Is Zadra better than Steel Vengeance ?
To me no, but it's amazing.
Did you also notice a jolt in the valley just before going into the stall?
I did not.
@@CanobieCoaster wow, it truly felt like a pothole. The rest of the ride is glass smooth, but this specific point really stood out. I too believe the ride could and should have been longer.
@@vespinonl Didn´t feel it, either. It was smooth as silk, as usual with RMC´s.
What do you mean by "stacking"?
Where trains have already cleared the course before the next train is dispatched, thus they ‘stack’ outside the station waiting for the station to clear
"Stacking" is where a train that's just completed the circuit has to wait outside the station for the train inside to finish loading.
As others said, when a train stops on the brake run because the train ahead of it hasn't been dispatched.
It would be nice if you could create a video about best and worst loose article policy
That would be a different one.
How many other rides and coasters do you know at Energylandia and in the world with turnstiles?
Alpina Blitz at Nigloland and some coasters in Italy have them.
Is it better than Wicked Cyclone?
Yes
Where does this rank in your top 25
It's in the top 10, just not sure where quite yet.
This might be the best coaster in the world imo
It has a case.
iSpeed, and how many other coasters do you know in the world with this turnstile set-up to the station?
Energylandia's coasters all have it.
Why are the cars driving backwards? 0:38
I had to reverse the clip to better tell the story.
As I’m waiting in line for manta at seaworld San Diego I realized the at the queue at energy Landon are pretty bad too
Manta's is nothing like this queue.
@@CanobieCoaster I literally had like 6 ignorant people cut me
Then I started blocking people but it was worth it for the ejector airtime
Hey, Canobie Coaster! This park does need a wooden roller coaster!
It would be nice, but they consider Zadra their wood coaster.
I really want to ride this! Do you think if there is no one coming on the ride, could u re ride it rather than wasting 7 minutes walking there and another 7 getting off
I'm not sure since the park had steady crowds for me.
@@CanobieCoaster Ok, thanks!
When it's quiet they open a gate next to the lockers which is a huge short cut - it might take about a minute to get back round. I didn't see them let anyone stay on even when there weren't enough people queueing to fill the train.
So Zadra is supposed to have some sort of medieval theme to it? What does Zadra mean in English anyway?
If I remember correctly it was splinter. The ride doesn't really have any theming outside of the theme music having a medieval twinge to it.
5:10 that’s not a single rider line that’s for the fronter rows.row 2,3,4 single riders can just walk through when there’s a 1 left on any screen
It's listed for single riders though but I agree it works out as seats towards the front.
This would be a great coaster for Six Flags Great Adventure.
Agreed!
Does anyone know why zadra is called "zadra"? In Polish, zadra is the same as a splinter.. This may mean literal, but it can also mean that it can get into the skin pretty well. :))
I think it was meant to denote the wood structure.
this looks like the best rmc
It's up there.
0:36 the cars going backwards lmao
Editing trick lol
Is Zadra better than Iron Gwazi?
To me, no.
To me, yes
The UK needs an RMC desperately
Hopefully one day!
The entire UK will explode with excitement if it ever gets an RMC.
If that twisted hill does what u say that might be the best element period
It's amazing.
I had a better experience on Hyperion, probably because I personally think its more reridable. I think overall Zadra is better, but I would still rate Hyperion better. Then again all my rides were a walk on so I could reride super quickly. The staff at Zadra at the day I was there did not enjoy their job at all. They were only running one train, but still wanted to get through the seats as quickly as possible and put waay to much pressure on the lapbars which stapled my gf. They also told her to not put her belly out so much, while she wasn't, really quite rude imo. Kind of a shame :c
Both rides are incredible.
I wish there had made it a bit longer that it loses more speed natural to the end. Compared to the old coasters it feels like the new ones waist a lot of energy in to breaks st the end
It is a satisfying ride.
@@CanobieCoaster will we get a ride review of the vekoma tilt coaster that opens 2023 in Energylandia ?
That path looks so exhausting
It was a workout.
That’s weird that the coasters merchandise shows normal wooden coaster track
It goes with the park's marketing scheme.
The steel truss makes the ride look so much more clean and scary,in my opinion at least,but that queue and the turn-styles look like a nightmare,7 minutes of walking just to get to the turn-styles,then the boarding system is so confusing to me,I don’t know why it’s so different from most queues in America,and a 6 operator crew is something I have never seen before
I like the look of the ride. The crew is lightning fast.
This ride looks to be great like Iron Gwazi, but it is a shame that not many coaster enthusiasts can come out here. Energylandia has expanded a lot, so it doesn't surprise me that they wanted to go for a world-class RMC, but it is stupid that they made the false lift height claim and the stupid queue systems. I really got to say that if the queue frustrates you enough, you might not wanna ride. I myself get frustrated very easily, but I would still ride Zadra. Zadra looks to be super similar to Iron Gwazi, and hats off to RMC for making this amazing creation!!
The queue while annoying was worth it for a great ride.
what is your favorite rmc?
Lightning Rod
Carowinds Ground Up RMC????
I think they're more likely to get Twisted Timbers 2.0.
@@CanobieCoaster I hope hurler is awful and Twister Timbers is my favorite RMC (yes over SteVe)
What is your favorite RMC?
Lightning Rod
0:37 oh wow look at those cars driving backwards
You caught my editing haha.
