Ive worked there and let me tell you they really want workers to operate very fast and also on most phones there is comunication between attractions and operators
Good to know the phones were for communicating between employees. I didn't see it as an issue since the employees were super efficient. It's a big no-no at US parks so it was different for me to see.
This park tops my bucket list and after finally visiting Cedar Point I finally understand the hype for multiple elite, quality roller coasters stacked into a park!!! When you talk of feeling like you walk into two different theme parks it reminds me of Universal, I feel like they’re the same park but they’re not (and I know this example doesn’t apply because Energylandia is one big park)
I went there last week mid october. every ride was a walkon all day long, even rides like hyperion and zadra. also i think they have improved the hyperion queue line because it took me exactly 10 minutes to get a reride. On zadra they opened up a path from the exit to the front of the line, so i was able to re ride within less than 5 minutes. sometimes i actually had to wait until at least 10 people were on the train to depart. The park is really well managed, theming is beautifull with a lot of special decoration for the halloween season. The park has kind of a weird layout with some dead ends. But i managed to speak to some construction workers working on the new area, they told me that this layout is temporary until some of the new areas are fully finished, by then the park will have a better layout and you can walk it in circles. I absolutely loved this park to a point i actually preffered to overall experience over Cedar point. Yes cedar point has better coasters but other than that energylandia does everything better. And i spoke to a lot of locals and they told me that most of the year lines do not exceed 30 minutes even for the top attractions. while in cedar point its not uncommon to find lines over 2 hours.
Hello, Canobie! On 4th and 5th of this month, I was able to score one of biggest points on my bucket list, actually visiting an amusement park. It's literally thanks to you. If not for this very video, I wouldn't dare coming to amusement park in my country, expecting to see basically knockoff stuff. The experience was amazing. Was able to ride all the best coasters multiple times (since it was off-season) - Zadra, Hyperion, Mayan, Abyssus... I've been on basically every attraction in the park. The experience was one of a kind. Thank you so much for this review.
Energylandia looks like an awesome park! I hope they add some new world class coasters of course, but I think this might be one of the best amusement parks for families because they have a wide range of different thrill levels. I do think I would prefer Europa, but this park looks incredible.
What a fantastic indepth breakdown of the whole park, very helpful! I'm going in October and very much looking forward to my visit and sharing my experience on my channel
i think this is a very good review, i have been a number of times to Energylandia but i really think the tips and insight you gave will serve people well. I do believe this park will develop and still get better once the hotel opens and the next part of the park.
The line cutting I am not used to either, and I am from the Netherlands. I found it really strange and actually very rude of the other guests to just jump in front of you. Energylandia really needs to do something about their queues and add shortcuts. They opened the fence between Zadra's exit and entrance so you could go again, which was nice. Shame that the staff really didnt seem that excited to work where they did. Stapled my gf hard twice on Zadra (we went 4 times). And Zadra's staff was quite rude overall I must say. Hyperion was alot better though, so the guys working at Zadra might just have had a bad day orso. The locker system is not free, but it's really cheap. You have to buy a wristband for like 7PLN I believe and then you are able to use the lockers for the rest of the day.
I found the staff at Energylandia prioritized efficiency over friendliness. Their speed would sometimes lead to them throwing the restraints down pretty aggressively, but it did keep the line moving fast. I found the staff members were helpful and friendly when you interacted with them, but they never were the ones to start a conversation.
@@CanobieCoaster I was on a very non busy day and every ride was a complete walk on, they had sometimes 5 minutes between Zadra cycles. It was kind of a shame there. The Hyperion staff that day was a lot more chill and really seemed to enjoy their job :P
I now go there each year with friends it is already kind of our tradition and I never experience much skipping in line. Sonetimes someone who is catching up to friends but not real cutting in line. Also I did not experience rudeness from Staff and not even on Zadra which we almost cycled. Maybe that guy tlreally had a bad day. I would also add that they have very decent souvenier shop, including some amazing statuettes.
Great overview of Energylandia! I think they're so inundated with all of the redundant that it's easy to miss many of the improvements they've been making. I've been looking into Energylandia a lot lately, and you've brought up many things I had no clue the park offered.
3:13 I 100% agree with this. They should add a new park entrance and parking lot to Sweet Valley so it is easier to get to the back half of the park on the other side of the road.
There will be new entrance located just south from the Sweet Valley. There will be also a monorail, one of the stations is already built in Dragon Zone.
i love energylandia! I’ve been here 3 times and each time I’m happy like a child! The only downside of the park is that in the summer season you have to stand soooo long to get on any rollercoaster :( But! Everyone should visit the energylandia 🤍
I have not yet been to Energylandia, but, I am definitely going w/in the next couple years. Looks like an amazing park! I have been to 6 parks in Europe but it was almost 13 yrs ago!
@@CanobieCoaster Phantasialand is a top contender for that trip also. 3 days E, 2 days P.... that is what I am thinking after watching this video! Hope to add at least 2 additional parks... make it a 2 week trip! ✈🚂🎢🎡🎠
i don't know.I haven't been there yet, but it feels to me that there's something missing for the general ambience. Maybe it's the lack of trees or something like that.
What is also needed to say is that on very quiet days Energylandia opens a extra door just right next to Zadras Lockers which allows perfect marathoning. This summer I had a very quiet day which allowed for 30 Rides in one day
@@CanobieCoaster yeah I think they only do that when the queue is only upstairs after the lockers, otherwise there would be way too much confusion. It’s really a nice feature for very slow days though. That day it was so quite that I was once standing only with a couple other people right before the station.
Yes, they did that when I was there today, but it was quiet (I'd have thought a Sunday in June would be a bit busier, but apparently not). Zadra's queue rarely even got as far as the last set of stairs. No such luck for Hyperion - that was the long walk every time. Oh well, I needed the exercise.
Wonderland Eurasia opened on March 20, 2019 with 17 coasters, but 5 coasters of the 9 coasters that even opened were operational when the park opened. That park closed in February 2020 and never opened since.
I'm doing research for a trip to Energylandia and your review was very helpful and informative, thank you! For anyone wondering, I believe the loose item lockers are free to use. They are double sided, so you put your stuff in right before you get on the ride and then get it back when you get off on the other side.
My mistake, apparently you have to pay 14 PLN (around 3 euros) to buy the wristband that gives you access to all lockers around the park. Not too bad still!
The Magic Mountain of Europe, I think MM and this will compete for a while for the coaster record. Literally impossible to get board here, they have an amazing top 3 with some decent filler rodes too. This place is a must not just if you live in Poland, not just if you live in Europe, but anywhere in the world. It's worth visiting if you want world class credits.
Honestly I think after this new 2022 coaster magic mountain is going to hit a wall they don’t have much room to expand and they’re right in between housing developments so I think Magic Mountain is probably going to chill out after this next coaster
@@zacharyyamashita8554 The owner of Energylandia also operates several massive dance clubs with several floors each (they are called Energy 2000, guess where the Parks name comes from) and he hosts a ton of concerts and festivals all across Poland, several of these Festivals are even hosted at Energylandia. Plus, Energylandia recently announced that they want to expand to 4x their current size by 2025, how that is supposed to work I don´t know, but at this point I wouldn´t be surprised if they add a full size 18 hole Golf Course and a multi-purpose Stadium just for shits and giggles. But yeah, Magic Mountain in no way is capable of keeping up with them beyond 2023. If they are lucky.
Granted that Energylandia was my very first park and I am still coaster noob, it will have a soecial place in my heart forever,but it is definitely much better experience than I thought. I always thought that when you say theme park, you have to go to US but europe has great ammount of good ones
Thank you for this great report. And I almost booked a ticket for Disneyland Paris - with four boring roller coasters, queues around 60 minutes and prices for a hot dog with coke for 11 euros.
The lockers are very cheap, I think it was 7 Zloty for a full-day wrist band (of course usable at all attractions), which should be roughly 2 Dollars. One thing that I found pretty annoying that you didn't mention was the constant line skipping. You talked about the broad queue lines shoving forwards, but everyone tried to get as far forward as possible, which made the queueing pretty tense and unenjoyable for us. Also, every five to ten minutes someone goes through the line to 'get to their family'. They then push through to the lockers and use the ensuing chaos there to just sneak into the line somewhere. This infuriated me more than it probably should have. But regardless, it is a great park, no doubt about that.
Dark ride is a much better experience during Halloween season. They hire actors that walk around the attraction and scare you. Sometimes they even enter your trolley
Great video man! Can I ask during the 2.5 days you spent at Enegylandia whether you stay close to the town of Zator or commuted to and from nearby cities like Krakow? Not sure about the convenience of staying onsite as there are no official hotels in the park
For the lockers you need a wristband with a barcode that can be bought at the lockers. The wristband will be valid the whole day at all the rides and only cost about 1.50 euros. Very cheap and the system worked great! Loved my 2 days there this summer!
Only thing was was kinda annoying was locker directly in front of new Abyssuss that are VERY SMALL you can't put a bag there for world. But if you ask the staff they look out for your thing for the duration of ride
@@bradyryan5105 Not only that but it actually lets you skip the line. All Flash Pass does is let you reserve your space in line, and if you want to cut down on wait time it costs a fortune.
I would love to visit this park one day due to the sheer amount of rides it has. A couple friends of mine have dubbed this park Energylandfill due to the general unfinished look of the park 😂
Best coaster destination in Europe followed by Port Adventura. But Germany is the best country for coasters in Europe overall. Let's also not forget Walibi Holland, Liseberg Sweden and Mirabilandia Italy.
Port adventura yes....but they have insane lines so not really my first choice Also for me from Czech Polland and Germany is much closer. It is two days by car to Port Adventura
When I went in the beginning we coukd ride zadra because he opened the door, didb"/ had queuejumpefs here but legendia was hell, I do love their locker system
We were there this weekend which was very slow. Had some different observations: - The turnstile system does not work. Especially the single rider line is pointless. Almost every train had free spots when leaving the station - Some longer lines were shortened around noon, even Hyperion, so you did not have to walk all the way up and down again, allthough they where still very long. Zadra had a reride door, which was open on day two - The number of employees that spoke english was very limited - I liked the park very much, although I agree that they should work on the theming. As ist was Halloween time that was covered pretty well by the sheer amount of pumpkins Btw: The locker system is great, not free but cheep (about 2.5$ a day. An unlike Universal the lockers are big enough and have no time limit
@@CanobieCoaster I would also recommend movie Park Germany and if you want to go to Japan to Universal studios Japan or Tokyo Disney sea they are just suggestions
I have a question. When you book tickets on Energylandia's website it states there is 2 different options for a 'low' season and a 'high' season, do you know what the difference is between these 2 types of tickets?
Here I thought Copperhead Strike's queue was a fluke, since you have to walk the whole set of switchbacks every time. Little did I know they're learning from the best!
Lol you talking about how they only run one train when the park isn't busy reminds me of bizarro at sfgad because there was absolutely no one riding that attraction, but they were running 3 trains. Each train would have about 4 people on it lol (although this is of course the opposite situation to energylandia)
I have been thete on slow cold day and on the Halloween night (open up to 10PM) and both days were fine. Halloween was packed but they also had special temporary haunted houses that siphoned lot of crowd and lines for coasters themselves were still shorter than avarage days in Phantasialand
Tilt coaster is already bought, partially from the EU grants and EL is obligated to build it to 2023. It will be around 45 metres tall and feature twisted or spiral drop.
Basically their coaster lineup is just kid coasters and there is like only 5 good thrill coasters they are top gun, zadra, abyssus, Hyperion their slc and that’s it
@@CanobieCoaster yes that is true but it is just kid coasters like they are getting a mine train this year like energylandia is basically the next six flags world of adventure/Geauga lake
It probably helps a park immensly when the very owner him/herself is an admitted coaster enthusiast instead of just some corporate big wig who would only see a park in the form of $$$ signs.
@@CanobieCoaster I know. It's weird for Magic Mountain to. Although Cedar Point does have one at their indoor waterpark resort Castaway Bay if that counts.
maybe its because you are from us, but in some other major countries in america (the continent, because america isnt a country) outside of us and europe, if you are in a very wide line (like zadra) and you want to go fast and there is someone slow ahead of you, normally the person would let you pass through, and wouldnt think you are jumping line. so before you americans criticize the people from some other place because they are doing something that isnt normal in the US, its very good to search about it or maybe you could just ask a local.
Thanks for letting me know. That's why I tried to preface how I was from the US and wanted to let others know what they can expect if they go to Energylandia. After the first day I was used to it, but it was shocking for my first few rides.
@@CanobieCoaster its understandable, when a canadian and i shared a dorm in the university, we went to a small park near athenas, he was very shocked, like WTF, why are you jumping the line LOL
This park is truly hideous. If i had the money to start the beginning of the park i would make it absolutly beautiful. Build a classic style wooden coaster or relocate one for esleware so the park had a historic coaster. Ide have planter boxes that followed the track hanging off the end with flowers pouring out of them. The air time finale would have a tunnel of flowers over it (probably realistic fake flowers but with real vines and leaves. Ide spray flower essenace when you go through the tunnel. Ide get the eagle park wild mouse that is sitting sbno at eagle park as its the last of its kind and is a very histoic coaster. Ide build a big timber awning over it and build the supports for the wild mouse with the same timber. Ide build rafters and beams as near miss elements like a mouse running around a attic. Ide get the original eagle park sighn and have it converted into the rides sign. All coasters would have pictures of the history of the ride model or spec sheets people riding them in the past and the story of how the ride ended up at my park. Ide list all the parks it was at previously if the info was avilable.
The only thing that I need to specify more is that Money for Energylandia investment is mostly for European Union government , not Polish. We are too poor country to get that big investments and Polish government sucks. Peace!
6:28 Bastards cut you in line, hahah. Honestly, looks like a completely ill thought out park by total amateurs. I mean, extra wide queues.... why? 9:38 holy shit, I've never seen so many people checking restraints before. MAYBE at Cedar Point, but not even that many.
Energylandia's line width and weird turnstyle loading seem designed to piss off guests. Also, LOL @ this huge park having an SBF spinner. They are definitely cheating on their way to becoming the park with the most roller coasters...
The turnstile loading and wide queues were surprising for me coming from the US, but a few responded the wide queues are readily accepted in Poland. And I can see the benefit of the turnstile system letting the exact number of guests through.
Simple difference in culture. Something that is outrageous to American can be acceptable for a Polish. For example I would never enter someone house with my boots on. You always taking them off at the special place near the entrance door. Plus you never keep your hat indoors. And if someone would do that i would be outrage. But i heard that both of these things are normal in US. We don't really have any problem with those quies.
@@TheKam93 I agree I didn't found it problematic, tough I am Czech so close to poland. Turnstile can complicatethings if you want specific line, but in that case I just waited one more load and let someone in front of me at turniket as the loading is generally fast paced it was just five minutes or so. For example my both days at Phantasialand during season, they didn't let you pick the place at all and shuffled all people in one line
I heard from other reviews the Mayan is still a rough coaster and not the greatest despite the vests. This is the first review from someone who has ridden it that disagrees with that statement.
Honestly I also think that Mayan is good one I for some reason enjoys suspended coasters and two smooth ones was Mayan and Black Mamba in Phantasialand But yes I should add that back seats are quite lot more jittery than front on Mayan
The employees at Energylandia are friendly and helpful? Bruh... I actually thought there were three splash battles and three monorails but I can't keep track of all of the filler. I challenge you to a duel for insulting the honor of my ride-fu, Monster House.
That hasn't been my experience, but I guess it depends on who you talk to. As far as the food, I haven't tried many things, but the Polish food seems to be the best bet. The fried chicken was terrible but the Espresso brownie was pretty much the best I've had anywhere. The park may be cheap by international standards but for a lot of Polish people 149 zloty is quite expensive, and downright unaffordable for a lot of families. Another thing, don't know if you saw but Hyperion's queue does have a lot of shortcuts that can be opened basically skipping most of the indoor section. The long term plan I believe is to bulldoze most of the original park.
Honestly Like I said before I personally had no issues with staff myself, and they weren't even passively harsh or anything. Aside of that I kind of agree about the food. I should probably not say that but poland had some issues with EU standards when comes to food over the years, but most food at park was at least common quality, not epic or legendaries mind you but decent and decent portions as well. Pricing really may be issue for some countries, I personally have decent job for the standarts of my country so I see it quite cheap compared to Germany for example.
@@CanobieCoaster I don’t know Zadra is just going to be SV I already know what I’m going to get. Millennium Force and Intimidator 305 are the only intamin traditional high left hill coasters I’ve ridden. I’ve never ridden their hyper versions.
Ive worked there and let me tell you they really want workers to operate very fast and also on most phones there is comunication between attractions and operators
Good to know the phones were for communicating between employees. I didn't see it as an issue since the employees were super efficient. It's a big no-no at US parks so it was different for me to see.
@@CanobieCoaster It can be problematic sometimes but overall is better than walkietalkies
This park tops my bucket list and after finally visiting Cedar Point I finally understand the hype for multiple elite, quality roller coasters stacked into a park!!! When you talk of feeling like you walk into two different theme parks it reminds me of Universal, I feel like they’re the same park but they’re not (and I know this example doesn’t apply because Energylandia is one big park)
I'd say the contrast is more akin to going from the Boardwalk at Knott's to Ghost Town. Same park, but one area looks way better.
I went there last week mid october. every ride was a walkon all day long, even rides like hyperion and zadra. also i think they have improved the hyperion queue line because it took me exactly 10 minutes to get a reride. On zadra they opened up a path from the exit to the front of the line, so i was able to re ride within less than 5 minutes. sometimes i actually had to wait until at least 10 people were on the train to depart.

Hello, Canobie!
On 4th and 5th of this month, I was able to score one of biggest points on my bucket list, actually visiting an amusement park.
It's literally thanks to you. If not for this very video, I wouldn't dare coming to amusement park in my country, expecting to see basically knockoff stuff.

Great review. Very detailed.
Thanks!
14:02 I believe the top 4 coasters at Cedar Point are SteVe, Mille, Maverick, and TTD. There is a big gap between that and Raptor.
I put Magnum in the top 4.
I don't understand the hype for Magnum. It's #9 in the park for me.
Wonderland Eurasia opened on March 20, 2019 with 17 coasters, but 5 coasters of the 9 coasters that even opened were operational when the park opened. That park closed in February 2020 and never opened since.

More like the Canada's Wonderland of Europe--with the top-heavy lineup.
I love all your Videos. Your opinion matches mine perfectly, so I know exactly what to expect when I go to a new park.
Glad you like them!
Granted that Energylandia was my very first park and I am still coaster noob, it will have a soecial place in my heart forever,but it is definitely much better experience than I thought.
I always thought that when you say theme park, you have to go to US but europe has great ammount of good ones
Europe tends to have better themed parks.
I've been there in August '22. We had 2 days at EL before heading back to Katowice for Lech Coaster. It was probably my best coaster trip abroad.
Nice!
Thank you for this great report. And I almost booked a ticket for Disneyland Paris - with four boring roller coasters, queues around 60 minutes and prices for a hot dog with coke for 11 euros.
Hope you enjoy your trip.
The park owner has a famous energy drink in Poland + the European Regional Development Fund so they can build a theme park and expand it very fast.
Good to know!
@@CanobieCoaster ah thats why its called energylandia
the waterpark is also free to visit when you are in the park no seperate tickets needed and the fact its pretty cheap for such a theme park tho
True!

This infuriated me more than it probably should have. But regardless, it is a great park, no doubt about that.
I thought I touched on that with the wide queue lines. Someone responded the social norm in Poland is to just fill all space like that.
Awesome review I'm going on Saturday and Sunday for my 1st time can't wait
Enjoy!
Great review!
Thanks!
Dark ride is a much better experience during Halloween season. They hire actors that walk around the attraction and scare you. Sometimes they even enter your trolley
That's really cool.
Going there in a few weeks. Man I'm excited!
Enjoy!
Great video man! Can I ask during the 2.5 days you spent at Enegylandia whether you stay close to the town of Zator or commuted to and from nearby cities like Krakow? Not sure about the convenience of staying onsite as there are no official hotels in the park
I stayed a short drive away in Oświęcim.
@@CanobieCoaster Ok thanks!
6:38 you say that as a kid hops over the queue line
Yup!
Never heard anyone list all those duplicates at the park. Amazing.
It stuck out to me immediately. And apparently I missed a third monorail.
Fantastic review.
Could you/Did you ride all those kiddie coasters?
Thanks! I got on all the coasters without any issues.
Omg your growing so fast i can remmember you had like 1.000 subs
It's surprising.
Really want to go here someday! Does this park have much shade? It seems like a concrete jungle.
Some queue lines had shade, but a lot of the midway was exposed.
For the lockers you need a wristband with a barcode that can be bought at the lockers. The wristband will be valid the whole day at all the rides and only cost about 1.50 euros. Very cheap and the system worked great! Loved my 2 days there this summer!
That's not a bad price at all.
Only thing was was kinda annoying was locker directly in front of new Abyssuss that are VERY SMALL you can't put a bag there for world. But if you ask the staff they look out for your thing for the duration of ride
@@Daralyndk Yes they were like half the size of the others. You could barely fit two small bags in it.
I've added a step counter to my phone for my upcoming trip. Wonder how much I get in
Nice!
You should post a review of Devil's Loop. The Soquet Looping coaster previously on the UK Fair Circut at Legendia.
I have one recorded. It should come out Monday or Tuesday.
@@CanobieCoaster oh nice
What's kinda amusing is in 2018 they built Skyrush 2.0 and now Hersheypark just opened Zadra 2.0!
True!
Energylandia looks amazing, but they should adopt a fast pass system similar to the 6 Flags Flash Pass, or the Cedar Fair Fast Lane
That would have been nice as an infrequent visitor.
@@CanobieCoaster agreed
The Six Flags Flash Pass system is absolute garbage.
@@triple7marc The Cedar Fair fast pass system is much simpler
@@bradyryan5105 Not only that but it actually lets you skip the line. All Flash Pass does is let you reserve your space in line, and if you want to cut down on wait time it costs a fortune.
They building now new water park as well and Ferris weel as well
Nice!
I would love to visit this park one day due to the sheer amount of rides it has. A couple friends of mine have dubbed this park Energylandfill due to the general unfinished look of the park 😂
Lol that's a good nickname, but the new areas look great.
Canobie coaster does leg day???
I more just play sports.
Best coaster destination in Europe followed by Port Adventura. But Germany is the best country for coasters in Europe overall. Let's also not forget Walibi Holland, Liseberg Sweden and Mirabilandia Italy.
Europe is great for how they combine thrills and theming/atmosphere.
Port adventura yes....but they have insane lines so not really my first choice
Also for me from Czech Polland and Germany is much closer. It is two days by car to Port Adventura
When I went in the beginning we coukd ride zadra because he opened the door, didb"/ had queuejumpefs here but legendia was hell, I do love their locker system
That's lucky they opened a door.
We were there this weekend which was very slow. Had some different observations:
- The turnstile system does not work. Especially the single rider line is pointless. Almost every train had free spots when leaving the station
- Some longer lines were shortened around noon, even Hyperion, so you did not have to walk all the way up and down again, allthough they where still very long. Zadra had a reride door, which was open on day two
- The number of employees that spoke english was very limited
- I liked the park very much, although I agree that they should work on the theming. As ist was Halloween time that was covered pretty well by the sheer amount of pumpkins
Btw: The locker system is great, not free but cheep (about 2.5$ a day. An unlike Universal the lockers are big enough and have no time limit
That's great they shortened some of the queue lines for you!
for another review you should go to Spain to go to either "parque de atracciones de Madrid" or "parque Warner Madrid" Or also PortAventura
I'd like to revisit those parks first since I only had one visit and photos.
@@CanobieCoaster I would also recommend movie Park Germany and if you want to go to Japan to Universal studios Japan or Tokyo Disney sea they are just suggestions
I have a question. When you book tickets on Energylandia's website it states there is 2 different options for a 'low' season and a 'high' season, do you know what the difference is between these 2 types of tickets?
High season means it's their busy period, so there will likely be higher crowds.
@@CanobieCoaster Ohh ok, would you say end of May is considered high season?
Here I thought Copperhead Strike's queue was a fluke, since you have to walk the whole set of switchbacks every time. Little did I know they're learning from the best!
That's another long one.
This is the ultimate Canobie Coaster review. Correct me if I’m wrong but this is the longest review.
I think my Canobie one may be longer.
@@CanobieCoaster It is. I never noticed it despite me watching it 3 times.
Going in April cant wait hopefully low queues
Enjoy!
what is the name ofthe app that that you say that does not have the wait times
I typically use queue-times.com, but Energylandia isn't included.
The wait times are available in the app. You have to click on the attraction on the map, then you will see the wait time.
Good to know!
Phantasialand review coming soon?
I want to review a few more of their rides first.
Lol you talking about how they only run one train when the park isn't busy reminds me of bizarro at sfgad because there was absolutely no one riding that attraction, but they were running 3 trains. Each train would have about 4 people on it lol (although this is of course the opposite situation to energylandia)
Bizarro should probably run just 2 trains with those dispatches.
10:02 Did that employee seriously just walk under a moving train???
Yes
My #2 park. When quantity makes the quality better we all win.
I prefer more about this park's top edge quality, but the quantity is nice too.
@@CanobieCoaster oh I agree I just like that the sheer quantity made the quality easier to marathon.
Also they have 3 monorails
Oh I missed the third one. That's even crazier.
@@CanobieCoaster there are plain themed one next to slode and literally next to the other monorail
One other crazy piece of trivia that I just learned is that this park, believe or not, is actually a half hour from Auschwitz. HOLY SHIT!
I made sure to swing by Auschwitz while in the area. They were closed, but it was still powerful being there given the history.
1:55 RIP loose article
I saw that too.
I have a feeling in the next few years this will be the Cedar Point of Europe
It may already be that.
It is except it’s surrounded by farmland instead of water.
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 and as I said above much of that land now belongs to owner so...there is lot of room to grow
for the que jumping just put your arms out walking through the line.
That's fair.
Im scared to see what Energylandia looks like at capacity
They at least have fast ops!
I have been thete on slow cold day and on the Halloween night (open up to 10PM) and both days were fine. Halloween was packed but they also had special temporary haunted houses that siphoned lot of crowd and lines for coasters themselves were still shorter than avarage days in Phantasialand
2024 there are strong roomors for a tilt coaster
I wouldn't be surprised given their affinity for Vekoma coasters.
Tilt coaster is already bought, partially from the EU grants and EL is obligated to build it to 2023. It will be around 45 metres tall and feature twisted or spiral drop.
Basically their coaster lineup is just kid coasters and there is like only 5 good thrill coasters they are top gun, zadra, abyssus, Hyperion their slc and that’s it
Their top coasters are fantastic at least.
@@CanobieCoaster yes that is true but it is just kid coasters like they are getting a mine train this year like energylandia is basically the next six flags world of adventure/Geauga lake
We are going here this thursday i hope we will be happy there and the weather will be bad so i hope there isnot lot of peoples (sorry for gramar)
Enjoy!
this looks like a park that I have a feeling will get a B&M Invert
A B&M would be nice here.
I think they'll get a B&M Hyper (giga height more likely) or B&M Wing. Their two suspended coasters are great for their lineup.
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 probably
lmao its 2024 and sweet valley still aint open (i know its opening in april)
I can't belive I saw that mine train test 3 years ago and it still hasn't opened.
@@CanobieCoaster it has been testing FOR THREE YEARS?
As soon as I hear queue jumping is a problem that’s a big f that park from me..
It was an issue in my recent trip once again. People will fill any empty space they see and walk past groups.
Fun fact: Energylandia plans to expand to 200 ha by 2025 (currently 43 ha)
Wow!
This park has been on my bucket list since 2018 and I'm getting there in literally 4 days
Enjoy!
I knew i can't be the only one who just couldn't find the entrance to the atractions
Some are a bit weirdly located.
9k!
Thank you!
Energylandia najlepsza
I enjoyed the park too.
7:52 That seems like such an American thing to do lol
Yeah, people in America love to line jump.
It probably helps a park immensly when the very owner him/herself is an admitted coaster enthusiast instead of just some corporate big wig who would only see a park in the form of $$$ signs.
That would help for the coaster quality.
This park that's hard on roller coasters but doesn't have a water coaster in their waterpark? Weird.
It is odd. Then again, neither Cedar Point nor Magic Mountain have a water coaster at their water park either.
@@CanobieCoaster I know. It's weird for Magic Mountain to. Although Cedar Point does have one at their indoor waterpark resort Castaway Bay if that counts.
Jist watch out for busier days, then you wait an hour to order your food lol
Haven't had that issue thankfully.
The park lineup isn’t that great though out of 17 coasters 3 soon to be built only standout
It is very top heavy for thrill-seekers.
19:14 dude that is just sad.
It's more of a family swing ride so that's fine.
10:07 if my mom wanted me to get hired at any theme park, she would not choose Energylandia
Understandable.
the park logo looks really nice
It does.
I guess SFMM gets the 20th coaster first and not Energylandia.
Energylandia will get there too soon.
Yep and surpass them too.
I assume they’ll have around 27-30 coasters around 2030.
maybe its because you are from us, but in some other major countries in america (the continent, because america isnt a country) outside of us and europe, if you are in a very wide line (like zadra) and you want to go fast and there is someone slow ahead of you, normally the person would let you pass through, and wouldnt think you are jumping line. so before you americans criticize the people from some other place because they are doing something that isnt normal in the US, its very good to search about it or maybe you could just ask a local.
Thanks for letting me know. That's why I tried to preface how I was from the US and wanted to let others know what they can expect if they go to Energylandia. After the first day I was used to it, but it was shocking for my first few rides.
@@CanobieCoaster its understandable, when a canadian and i shared a dorm in the university, we went to a small park near athenas, he was very shocked, like WTF, why are you jumping the line LOL
Not many parks got a good top 4 .Their ride line up though is a little underwhelming.they need a b and m lol
I agree.
That dragon mouth as a tunnel for the Dragon roller coaster is dazzling.
It is!
And for being a family coaster the first drop actually took me by surprise :-D
This park is truly hideous. If i had the money to start the beginning of the park i would make it absolutly beautiful. Build a classic style wooden coaster or relocate one for esleware so the park had a historic coaster. Ide have planter boxes that followed the track hanging off the end with flowers pouring out of them. The air time finale would have a tunnel of flowers over it (probably realistic fake flowers but with real vines and leaves. Ide spray flower essenace when you go through the tunnel. Ide get the eagle park wild mouse that is sitting sbno at eagle park as its the last of its kind and is a very histoic coaster. Ide build a big timber awning over it and build the supports for the wild mouse with the same timber. Ide build rafters and beams as near miss elements like a mouse running around a attic. Ide get the original eagle park sighn and have it converted into the rides sign. All coasters would have pictures of the history of the ride model or spec sheets people riding them in the past and the story of how the ride ended up at my park. Ide list all the parks it was at previously if the info was avilable.
I hope they go back and redo the aesthetics of the front half.
The only thing that I need to specify more is that Money for Energylandia investment is mostly for European Union government , not Polish. We are too poor country to get that big investments and Polish government sucks.
Peace!
Thanks for specifying it was the EU, not Poland
6:28 Bastards cut you in line, hahah. Honestly, looks like a completely ill thought out park by total amateurs. I mean, extra wide queues.... why? 9:38 holy shit, I've never seen so many people checking restraints before. MAYBE at Cedar Point, but not even that many.
I've only seen that many on Medusa at Six Flags Mexico, Cyclone at Coney Island, and some rides at Oktoberfest.
That would be so annoying
Energylandia's line width and weird turnstyle loading seem designed to piss off guests. Also, LOL @ this huge park having an SBF spinner. They are definitely cheating on their way to becoming the park with the most roller coasters...
The turnstile loading and wide queues were surprising for me coming from the US, but a few responded the wide queues are readily accepted in Poland. And I can see the benefit of the turnstile system letting the exact number of guests through.
Simple difference in culture. Something that is outrageous to American can be acceptable for a Polish. For example I would never enter someone house with my boots on. You always taking them off at the special place near the entrance door. Plus you never keep your hat indoors. And if someone would do that i would be outrage. But i heard that both of these things are normal in US. We don't really have any problem with those quies.
@@TheKam93 I agree I didn't found it problematic, tough I am Czech so close to poland.
Turnstile can complicatethings if you want specific line, but in that case I just waited one more load and let someone in front of me at turniket as the loading is generally fast paced it was just five minutes or so.
For example my both days at Phantasialand during season, they didn't let you pick the place at all and shuffled all people in one line
I heard from other reviews the Mayan is still a rough coaster and not the greatest despite the vests. This is the first review from someone who has ridden it that disagrees with that statement.
I only got one ride up front and it was almost as smooth as Great Nor’Easter.
Honestly I also think that Mayan is good one
I for some reason enjoys suspended coasters and two smooth ones was Mayan and Black Mamba in Phantasialand
But yes I should add that back seats are quite lot more jittery than front on Mayan
To be honest on a quiet day zadras queues is more like a normal path where you can walk past people because it’s so long and wide
I realized that was how people treated that first section after my first day.
The employees at Energylandia are friendly and helpful? Bruh...
I actually thought there were three splash battles and three monorails but I can't keep track of all of the filler.
I challenge you to a duel for insulting the honor of my ride-fu, Monster House.
The employees were friendly and helpful whenever you asked them anything. They weren't outgoingly friendly like some parks.
That hasn't been my experience, but I guess it depends on who you talk to.
As far as the food, I haven't tried many things, but the Polish food seems to be the best bet. The fried chicken was terrible but the Espresso brownie was pretty much the best I've had anywhere.
The park may be cheap by international standards but for a lot of Polish people 149 zloty is quite expensive, and downright unaffordable for a lot of families.
Another thing, don't know if you saw but Hyperion's queue does have a lot of shortcuts that can be opened basically skipping most of the indoor section.
The long term plan I believe is to bulldoze most of the original park.
Honestly Like I said before I personally had no issues with staff myself, and they weren't even passively harsh or anything.
Aside of that I kind of agree about the food.
I should probably not say that but poland had some issues with EU standards when comes to food over the years, but most food at park was at least common quality, not epic or legendaries mind you but decent and decent portions as well.
Pricing really may be issue for some countries, I personally have decent job for the standarts of my country so I see it quite cheap compared to Germany for example.
Hyperion looks better than zadra
I preferred Zadra but both were amazing
@@CanobieCoaster I don’t know Zadra is just going to be SV I already know what I’m going to get. Millennium Force and Intimidator 305 are the only intamin traditional high left hill coasters I’ve ridden. I’ve never ridden their hyper versions.
Looks can be deceiving
Zadra does not know how to stop and zero G stall is phenomenal
It seems like a really cool park, but is it safe for queer enthusiasts to visit? It’s located within one of Polands “No LGBTQ” zones.
I know a few LGBT friends who went in 2019. They felt safe. They just didn't make any PDAs.
@@CanobieCoaster thank god I’m safe so long as I don’t express any affection toward someone I love!!!
@@itskylelucasoh you can, stop whining. It's not Iran, you won't get flogged in the street if you kiss your partner.
ZADRA IS THE WORLDS BEST COASTER AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
It's an excellent coaster, but there are some I prefer.
Yeah New England has so many dupes
How so?
