The comment section of this video just proves why, over the past few years, we've made a conscious effort NOT to cater to the "die-hard roller coaster enthusiast" community and target more the "casual theme park/roller coaster" fan. The casual fan is by far more nicer and appreciative than the "out of town roller coaster weirdos" (awesome Simpsons quote!) and I by far respect their commentary far more than some of the people who will go out of their way to tell us that our opinions are "wrong." Just read through this entire comments section and it is PAINFULLY OBVIOUS which people belong to which group! It really is bizarre how emotional people get over roller coasters. Who cares? It’s a theme park and a ride. If you prefer something different, cool! No one is forcing you to ride or like what the next person likes! And if you really cannot control yourself and you feel so triggered that you HAVE to make obnoxious posts to our channel, we would honestly prefer you stop watching our channel and go someplace else.

Theme Park Review My aunt was trying to force me to go on the coasters. I didn’t like that at all, because it’s my choice whether I want to go on coasters or not
Generally speaking your opinion does'nt just cover the subject of rollercoasters, but ALL You Tube ( & misc social media too) channels & video commentary. I will never understand why some people that seem to vehemently hate something so much that they not only click on a subject they despise, but stick around to write a negative comment on it. Would'nt it be logical to use your time, energy & resources on something you do actually like??? I mean are there really people out there that hate EVERYTHING??!! As far as I know, no one is holding a gun to your head & making you watch something you don't like. Please if someone has the answer to this let me in on it cuz it's something that seems to only get worse with the passage of time. My personal theory is most people are so obsessed with their right to an opinion & a platform that unfortunately they can also remain anonymous to do it on that they totally forget to give what their going to say any consideration. This leads me to believe that just because you "can" doesn't always mean you "should". Be kinder to one another today. It really does make a difference.✌
The track overhaul is probably the best thing that could happen to Vekoma. This coaster looks like a blast to ride, and incredibly smooth. I'm legitimately jealous that I can't ride one of these yet.
Lech Coaster looks incredible! I really hope we get one of these awesome new-gen Vekomas here in the United States in the near future. It's crazy how much Vekoma have improved over the last decade or so!
Totally agree! The other nice thing is it's pretty compact and would make an awesome addition to many regional family owned parks throughout the US to give them a boost in attendance without needing to eat up a huge footprint of their park while simultaneously providing just as great, if not a better, experience than many of the giants out there! I find these so much more fun bevsuse they twist within each other and it's reminiscent of the near misses and windings of wooden coasters but in a steel format. :)
@@themeparkreview I wouldn't say Hyperion is a joke to Lech Coaster. Both rides have their qualities* and their flaws*, and they provides very different experiences. I personnaly prefer Hyperion for giving very powerful contrasts between aerial elements and fast paced near to the ground sequences, but I can understand that some people prefers LC for the perfect flow of his layout. Anyway, I think both rides are great, and none of those coasters is a "joke" to the other ;) * Lech Coaster is a freakin' intense ride, glassy smooth and with a world class drop, Hyperion is an awesome fast paced ride with blow minding twists and one of the bests inversions ever. *disappointing floater airtime hill, small rattle issue for Hyperion - lack of "snappy" transitions, a bit overly intense for Lech Coaster
@CanadaCoasterFan Have you read my comment ? You can't just dumbly say "Huh this is better, period" without giving a single argument. Well, actually you can, because you just did it... but are you aware that your comment is pointless ?
This looks like an amazing, intense ride! The sudden little drops and steeply banked turns over a non-traditional layout makes for an overall exciting ride. I watched this several times just to understand the layout. Wish I could ride it! Love how it's located over a lake and intertwines over itself.
It's been a year, and I still can't belive none of these amazing Vekomas (like Lech Coaster and Abyssus) have made their way to the US. These are such great rides. Thank you Robb for the video!
LOVED this video. Perfect timing - going to Poland in 2 weeks to test out Vekoma's new generation and of course Energylandia. I'm so excited. Thanks for the great upload, guys!
Honestly love the look of this coaster, looks so awesome! Your reaction was priceless 👍 This, Zadra and Hyperion look to be worth the trip out to Krakow 🙌
Why does Robb seem like genuinely a nice guy. No complaining that the ride didn't do this, or did that wrong, just "holy cow, loved it!" how all enthusiasts should be.
Guys, I absoloutely love the back of the train camera angle you do, it just gives you a really good idea of how smooth the ride is and how many sharp thrilling banks there are. You need to do that more.
Wow that looks sweet! Super twisty tighty and any coaster that interacts closely with themeing gets fourteen thumbs up in my book. :) Well done Vekoma!
I'd consider myself to be a coaster enthusiast, and I feel like the most important part of being one is helping others have as much fun as possible to form their OWN opinions as to which ride is their favorite.
Ok! That's it, big guy! Ya made me jealous! You get to have all the fun...and here I am, laying on my couch, having to relegate myself to just watching y'all have loads of fun! (With the use of the word y'all, y'all oughta know that I'm a Southern boy. I'm from Virginia). Anyway:Y'all need to be highly complimented for making great videos like these from the different parts of the world like you do! Y'all make me glad I subscribed! The nearest Theme Park (King's Dominion, in Doswell, Virginia), is about 120-125 miles away. I haven't been there since 2002. I really need to go have myself some fun again! .
I am considering my first international coaster trip. Just planning everything out since I will be alone I'm super nervous about it. This looks really good and intense despite its size. It reminds me a lot of maverick but this looks better.
It's crazy to see how much Vekoma has improved! Take a look at Alton's or Flamingo Land's old corkscrew that they used to have compared to this smooth beast. We need one of these in the UK!
Looks so smooth! Awesome coaster! The other nice thing is it's pretty compact and would make an awesome addition to many regional family owned parks throughout the US to give them a boost in attendance without needing to eat up a huge footprint of their park while simultaneously providing just as great, if not a better, experience than many of the giants out there!

A lot of Coasters in Europe are becoming my favorites to watch. They really know how to theme their rides over there. It's just too bad I live in the states and will never get to ride them.
I mean.. Nobody forbits you to travel to Europe/Poland and do a sighseeing tour with a side trip to Energylandia. I live in Poland and already been to the US 2 times for holidays...
Over the past years maybe it's just me but does it seem that manufacturers are kind of taking their products a different route to be somewhat like RMC? Some of those elements REALLY remind me of something you'd see on an RMC. Hopefully one day we get one of these in the US. A smaller park would benefit great from this model (looking at you Kentucky Kingdom hehe)
Vekoma has a new coaster model called the STC and is basically the invigorated and highly improved version of the SLC. The first one of its kind is opening this year in Tripsdrill Germany.
This is a great coaster. The drop feels really good for it's height and it's actually quite intense on the helix during the second half. I personally prefer Hyperion but I'm a sucker for a good Intamin. Can't wait to go back and ride Zadra.
I;m telling ya, that new Vekoma track looks awesome and the transitions look seamless. I've been on Expedition Everest which is a new Vekoma track style, but I didn't know that when I rode it. Is this track/ride as smooth as it looks? I'm really happy Vekoma made this huge adjustment to their manufacturing or we would have most likely lost another great coaster company. Their older Snake spine looking tracks we're not holding up well and are some of the roughest rides out there. I love what Vekoma, Intamin and Gerstlauer are doing these days. Hell, I even like what Zeier and Zamperla are doing these days. lol
@@DanielBlaney have you ridden many of these? I hope to ride Copperhead Strike in the fall. After watching a few POV's of their hyper coasters overseas, I believe they can make a coaster with some force. Building a hyper with a inversion or two looks cool like the one they built in Australia, and I hope to see something like that or a model like Hyperion at Energylandia instead of another B&M.

@@eviehammond9509 Thank you for that!
So true... Great comment and GREAT channel and footage! Cheers from Australia..
Proof you don't need to be the tallest, fastest, steepest to be a great ride. That last airtime switchback looks insane.
Indeed, a coasters layout is the real key to it's success, not being the tallest or the fastest.
I've been on it no joke
Vekoma’s definitely making winners with these new concepts.
The track overhaul is probably the best thing that could happen to Vekoma. This coaster looks like a blast to ride, and incredibly smooth. I'm legitimately jealous that I can't ride one of these yet.
Yes they are
I'd go there than be on flight deck
The restraints looks great too!

If you dont believe me that's fine but since I have family in poland I've been to that theme park AND been on that coaster more than 10 times

@Rollercoasters Worldwide I've also ridden both of those rides (team Hyperion !
For a guy who rides roller coasters for a living I can tell you have the LIFE!!
Who’s random user?are you talking to yourself?
I love this style of coaster! Snappy and quick transitions.

I watched this several times just to understand the layout. Wish I could ride it! Love how it's located over a lake and intertwines over itself.
It's crazy how vekoma has changed so much. They used to be known for horrible inverted coasters. But this changes vekoma's future forever
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb didn't expect to see you here
@@surge_vt YOOOOOOOOO
I rode this back in July. It keeps the pace so well. Vekoma should make more of these.
It's been a year, and I still can't belive none of these amazing Vekomas (like Lech Coaster and Abyssus) have made their way to the US. These are such great rides. Thank you Robb for the video!
It's also quite possibly the most beautifully located and themed ride I've seen.. love the theming and the water

This is the first time watching a rollercoaster POV has ever made the hairs on my arms stand on end! This thing looks utterly AMAZING!!! :D
Now that's how a coaster should thrill! Never a dull moment! Vekoma deserves much love.
Now that's what I would call Dutch Power!! :p Vekoma really wiping the floor with its questionable reputation.

Its not energylandia
@@magdalenat3424 Yeah I know it was a year ago its ok
That is one seriously smooth ride.. thanks for sharing, cuz Lord knows I’m not making it to Poland anytime soon ;)
Lech Coaster looks world class. If only Six Flags would invest in these models!
World’s best Vekoma.....I love this ride, it’s soooooooo awesome 👏🏻 worthy of a top 10 coaster
That’s gotta be one of the most photogenic coasters around, absolutely beautiful. Awesome layout too.
Honestly love the look of this coaster, looks so awesome! Your reaction was priceless 👍
This, Zadra and Hyperion look to be worth the trip out to Krakow 🙌
Not only does the ride itself look great, but the scenery around it is gorgeous! All the more reason I'd love to visit Poland :)
Now that is a roller coaster! Smooth, utilizes the space well and fun.
I always faint in this Coaster! Love itttt
Looks amazingly smooth. Awesome !!!!
Lol if I had to describe a coaster’s personality I’d say... relentless.
non stop action
Why does Robb seem like genuinely a nice guy. No complaining that the ride didn't do this, or did that wrong, just "holy cow, loved it!" how all enthusiasts should be.
Because I am. Thank you!
I'm loving that high energy track layout. 🔥🙌🏻👏🏼
Video over 3 years ago. Now we have Zadra and Hyperion at Energylandia. ❤
This ride is amazing! I would love to see more Vekoma coasters like this in the following years!
This is amazing! Definitely Poland's best!
Any coaster enthusiast that has been to Poland should know this is better than Hyperion. Great video!
I really gotta go to Poland now. Between this, Zadra, Hyperion, and the rumored vekoma shockwave coming, there's a lot of great rides
I am, again, proud of my heritage! Dutch manufacturer Vekoma is once in the game again 🇳🇱
Guys, I absoloutely love the back of the train camera angle you do, it just gives you a really good idea of how smooth the ride is and how many sharp thrilling banks there are. You need to do that more.
We agree! I will do a back seat POV as often as I possibly can! Sometimes I just don't get that luxury though.
Love the theme. Crazy first drop, they'd hear me screaming all over Poland 😂😂
woah, looks awesome, I need to go to Poland! Zadra at Energyland looks incredible too.
It's amazing to see how far Vekoma has come since their SLCs
Yep. Rode a SLC yesterday and it was terrible
It's so good to see Robb having a blast for once instead of screaming in pain/agony!
Jordan Wolfson especially on a vekoma
Wow that looks sweet! Super twisty tighty and any coaster that interacts closely with themeing gets fourteen thumbs up in my book. :) Well done Vekoma!
This is the best POV of this coaster that I have seen. It looked so fast that day!
This looks absolutely amazing!! The track is soo incredibly smooth yet unpredictable.
It DOES murder you but in a good way.
@@nuttydishwasher5377 hahaha sounds crazy
Kingda Ka : I'm the coolest lol
Hyperion, Zadra and Lech : hold my beer
And Abyssus now
Can see that Vekoma Coaster is getting more and more improve and smooth the ride. Really love it
Looks like a snappy, yet smooth ride. Not jerky like other coasters with all those turns and inversions
Wow! You always make it sound so much fun. That ride looks incredible!! I would probably scream like. Little girl on it!! Thanks for video!!
This coaster looks great! Great mix of airtime and inversions!
These new Vekoma coasters look like top notch rides. They are on a win streak here. Hope they keep putting up more like this.
10 minutes by car, right next to my favorite shopping center. A true diamond ^U^

Holiday world needs that exact ride!!
Damn. That’s ride is nuts 🔥🔥🔥🔥 SFMM need this up on the hillside somewhere running between the trees.
Jesus at 2:50 I could feel the airtime through my screen.

Newer style Vekoma? Damn! Haven’t seen them do anything in quite a while! Looks awesome. Very perfect transitions into corkscrews and turns.
I like the train on this coaster. Looks very cool and the track layout looks steep😊
Nobody:
Him: OHHH HO HO HO HO AH AH AH HO HO HE HE HE

I was shocked when you said it was a vekoma. It looks like a s&s intamin mixup.

This is obviously a Vekoma... but having never ridden it, I can honestly say it looks to be the best Vekoma... Ever!
This looks more intense than a lot of B&Ms! Like the European version of Maverick at CP!!!
This coaster looks like tons of fun!

Wow great pacing! What I really like is how it seems to pick up speed and g-forces when going through the transitions, makes it look really snappy!
You can tell that Vekoma has really taken some hints from RMC with those ejector airtime hills.
I like how the building with the inversion appears almost warped by the track.
0:21
The first minute and 36 seconds of "Lost Lost Lost" by Mr. Fijiwiji would make this coaster that much more clean.
