- In 2021, Plopsaland De Panne debuted their all new MACK Rides extreme spinning coaster Ride to Happiness. Themed to Tomorrowland, this jam packed thrill ride features the best elements from a traditional thrill coaster, but with the unpredictability of a spinning car. This results in a different ride experience every time, along with absolutely WILD forces and sensations. It's an absolutely insane ride that you can only experience here in Belgium!

The title is correct. This is the greatest roller coaster ever built. I was blown away by it and still can’t believe some small park in Belgium built it.
This small park has some of the deepest pockets out there mind you ;) but yeah it is ABSOLUTELY INSANE
Only small for thrill-seekers, here in the netherlands its wel know, except if you try to convince people that they have the best coaster in europa hahahaha
It's entirely subjective.
@@Arma070 Yea it's kinda wild, i live pretty close to the park and yeah... It's normal for us Belgians since we have the highest tax rate in the world + plopsa being a brand on its own and being famous in every household here.
Imagine if they start cloning this ride for this reason - perhaps this will be rethemed to local music festivals (Ultra in Miami, Glastonbury in Scotland, Sunburn in india or VELD in toronto)
The spin on the first launch is made by a magnet that makes "contact" with the metal disc on the train. This is the block that is placed under/next to the catwalk that can be seen at 6:15 in the bottom right corner. Basically looks the same as the magnetic brakes on the old gen Intamin mega, hyper and giga
That’s cool! Makes sense
@@CoasterStudios The operators can set the intensity on those magnets from the control room, so sometimes the spinning on the launch is a bit weak, other times it's absolutely mental.
@@CoasterStudios You can see the magnet in your video, At 6:43 :)
@@CoasterStudios Its the same kind of magnet thats on time traveler that starts the spin for the first drop. you can see it on the right side on the catwalk
Got to give a huge applause to MACK Rides for doing this ride~ It is evident that they took a look at Time Traveller and saw what they were able to improve on, and also meet the demands for Plopsaland to ensure it did what they wanted it to do. And it's like they didn't just slightly improve it, they improved it BIG TIME LIKE x100. It's clear that this is probably the best spinning coaster ever made in the entire world. So again, kudos to MACK Rides, and this just shows you to amazing German craftsmanship.
“Live today, love tomorrow, unite forever” is the motto of tomorrowland.
That makes sense!
@@CoasterStudios just go to Tomorrowland and you will understand
Guys I figured it out... Top Thrill Spinster. I could see nothing going wrong with this what so ever.
This comment is gold 😂
Maybe RMC can build new trains for a potential Spin Vengeance
I can’t wait for y’all to release a new top 25 list after all the great rides you guys got on
Yeah I’m shocked at how good RTH is. Extremely close to being my #1 but Voyage. I’ll say this, the Tomorrowland soundtrack goes so unbelievably well with the ride, better than any song I can pick on Rip Ride Rocket
One of the most accurate names i've seen on a coaster. You're just beaming with happiness on every ride
Today, I payed 38,5 euro for 24 minutes in the park. Yes, 24 minutes. I was in this park for the first time and did Ride to Happines 4 times. There were no people in line. Best 38,5 euro I have ever spent.
You know what Carowinds really needs? A bigger and faster version of this of course!😂 They just formed a relationship with Mack rides with copperhead strike, let's make it happen!
imagine they added a spinning car on Copperhead Strike
That will be too much lol
10:37 - A friend of mine casually talks with the designer of Ride to Happiness and he said that he wanted to do a reverse version of Star Trek: Operation Enterprise's first inversions and this is what came out of it.
That’s sick!
Thats so interesting, thank you for this information. Ive ridden both rides and never realised that. Now i can see it and it does make sense. (Star treck looks so good aswell, and i really enjoy the hangtime on it)
I’m gonna have to ride this crazy spinning coaster when I travel over to Belgium this summer for the Tomorrowland music festival. Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Lost Frequencies, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Timmy Trumpet, I’ve watched all of their Tomorrowland performances on TH-cam and I can’t wait to see them all in person at this festival, it’s going to be amazing.
That’s an awesome line up!
It is without doubt the best ride in the world. I get motion sick, but this is my number one ever. We got 20 rides on it over new year, and every single ride, it got better. This is Mack's best work right here. And could be the best example of a roller coaster ever.
I hear you about every ride getting better. After my first ride I thought it was very good but thought it might be a bit over hyped, then with each of my subsequent 6 rides I started to realise more and more what the hype was about.
This and steel vengeance are the only coasters where I was in shock once I got to the block brakes and started laughing.
I would love to experience again my first ride. After you ride it lots of Times you get used to it, But the first ride in the last row is an unfogettable experience.
Next one will be in Holiday Park, rumors are it will be RTH 2.0
The park really needed it because it "only had" scream and egf, but yeah i cant wait. Rth is a wonder, its up there with Kondaa, Helix and the 3 eu RMCs as one of strongest coaster in europe and i believe its rated 11th worldwide on captain coaster. Absolutely deserved
Unfortunately, Epic Universe's Wolfman coaster appears to be a Sidewinder clone rather than a Extreme Spinner
I hope that the one in Holidaypark has a different Layout at least. But from how it looks now with the Station building the could Clone the Layout pretty well, with the First Half being over water and the second Half being over the Plaza just like the original
taron, toutatis and batman gotham city escape are GREAT coasters too. and dont forget FLY
The "whip" as you called it, is visible at 6:42 (the metallic looking U shape on its side). The metal wheel below the car slots between the U and through magnets it gets an extra rotation.
I haven't hit the brakes and been mind-blown like this ride since coasters like X2 and TopThrillDragster.
It's definitely up there with the craziest
I have to choose between going to Plopsaland and walabi Holland, which one should I choose, I’ve never ridden an RMC so I’m leaning towards walabi Holland
Untamed is really great too and you have more rides there. I couldnt decide :d
I'm so happy to live in Belgium, even though it's a 3h drive for me, I still got a season pass cause this thing is just too good, by far my favorite in europe. And hey, a 3 hour drive on a saturday, lap this thing a few hours, drive 3 hours back home, I take that, definitely worth it, best thing you can do on a saturday 🔥😂🙌🏼
That's so funny, I literally just bought season passes to Busch Gardens to do this exact same thing for Iron Gwazi. It's also a 3h drive for me and also worth it. :)
@@heysatan8 oh yes agreed, I love Gwazi, I have it one spot above Ride to Hapiness, I would definitely do the same if I were you 😂
Been waiting for this review for so long! Couldn't agree more, it's absolutely crazy and addictive in the best way. Can't wait to see where you both rank it in your top coasters!
That is actually amazing how Mr Zimmer made the soundtrack for this roller coaster.
Question: Which one is better, Time Machine or Ride to Happiness?
(Comment Below)
This ride is literally insane and I love it to death. We need more of these! I still prefer Time Traveler just a tad, maybe cuz I rode it a ton first so there’s bias, but man Mack is CRUSHING it with these. Everyone needs to experience these, easily best coasters in the world
fun fact about ride to happiness : the part where the cars all of a sudden get a spin force is because theres a disk under the trains where some brake mechanism touches the brakes and gives the carts the spin :D
oh wait i didnt know there was already a comment about this lol
I did that coaster yesterday and its was the first coaster with an invertion that i ever did thogether with ‘huis anubis’ the other really cool coaster at that park. It was the greatest feeling coming out of that coaster!
I get motion sickness pretty easily but did not get it on this coaster! I rode it twice and both times just a little dizzy but no motion sickness. I looked way more sickening than the coaster actually is, at least for me. So def top tier rollercoaster for me as well! Highly recommend
Just watching the video, when you put the soundtrack, gave me chills ! This is by far my favorite roller coaster ever, it’s just incredible. And the possibility of just doing it over and over again with almost no queue is also so great 👌 I can’t wait to go back
I rode this ride for the first time yesterday. Ended up doing it 15 times during the whole day. It was sooooooo good. But it's not my number 1. I loved the on-board audio. I loved the lay-out and everything, forces were great. But the spinning was usually pretty mild. Btw it pulls good enough numbers, it really does
I love time traveler. I’m hoping KI installs one of these where Vortex was.
I think the mechanism that makes the seats spin on the first launch could be the magnets used on Time Traveller’s first drop.
I’m in the queue for this as I type! Second day here. What an incredible machine. It is unbelievable! However many videos you watch before, even standing watching it by the side - you simply cannot be fully prepared for this ride experience. It is so much more intense than it looks! The soundtrack playing in the seats adds so, so much. The ride wouldn’t be the same without it. For me, it’s a front row (car) ride - I love the insane airtime at the top just after the launch…and I do find it rides more rough at the back.
My opinion: this is not my favourite rollercoaster (I’m still too in love with Zadra), but The Ride To Happiness IS the best coaster in the world. I could never imagine being ‘relaxed’ on this ride. It’s just so different each time you ride! For me, there is some ‘comfort’ to be found in something like Zadra where you know what to expect. But no doubt, RTH is special. Truly special.
velocicoaster is in my opinion better bc im a huge rollercoaster and jurassic world fan so its kinda obvious haha
I can't believe I get to ride this this year! Visiting 7 parks over 7 days and this is our last stop on the trip!
We're doing a European coaster trip (Efteling & Plopsaland.) Road this & Baron 1898 for the first time. Both incredible!
So happy that i live in belgium and that RTH is in my home themepark.
"Live today love tomorrow unite forever" is the motto of Tomorrowland, that festival is made with the intention of creating a out of the world immersive experience in order to unite people from all over the world in the language of music and friendship
It's not just a music festival, it almost feels like a utopia becoming reality...
Trust me, check out the Tomorrowland 2019 aftermovie, it's super emotional
And the Merch didn’t even include a picture of the coaster :/
Do you know when you will post your top rollercoasters list?
Wow! This looks so cool! I love everything about the ride, from the tracks (Mack Rides has beautiful tracks) to the cars (literally, they could have gone with a boring teacup but they didn't) and to the restraints (I just like the look of them, I don't know why). You are all so lucky to be able to go on these rides! One day I will take it no longer and have to ride it!
I haven't been to cedar point, kings island etc yet but Ride to Happiness is a 4h drive from me. Went there last autumn, and damn it sure is the most fun coaster I ever rode: it has airtime, hangtime, smooth and every ride you spin differently
I am from belgium so it is my nr1 coaster (I have only ridden coasters in west- europe)
(it's West Belgium ma man xD) great vid btw!
i'm so greatfull that my little country just got an insane new top 3..
Let’s be honest.
The layout would be solid even if it didn’t spin.
I have experienced ride to happiness and to me it is a perfect ride, I don't think the airtime is the strongest out their it certainly does not take away from the ride the rides I have above ride to happiness are 5. Expedition Geforce, 4. Untamed, 3. Velocicoaster, 2. Zadra, 1. Iron Gwazi but these are my choices and opinions
I also have those 5 coasters (and some others!) above Ride to Happiness. DC Rivals is in there too somewhere.
8:10 Oh My GOD That's Probably The Most Insane Spin Of Any Spinning Coaster In The World. The Closest To This Insane Spin Is Tornado When It Has An Unbalanced Car ( The Intamin Launched Lift Spinner )
Was This The Most Insane Spin You've Experienced On Ride To Happiness?
Will This POV Be Released One Day? Because I'd Love To Hear Your Reaction In It.
Going to ride this next week, cannot wait!! 🎉
Now put spinning trains on basically any Intamin launch coaster, with VelociCoaster theming. The park that does this will have an unbeatable top coaster. This is why the Xtreme spinner is a model I REALLY hope more parks add. Even though it’s a costly investment
I was gonna say, that element after the 2nd launch looked like the flying snake dive on storm runner
This will definitely make my Top 10 list of my favorite coasters and a top ten bucket list coaster for me.
The sudden spinning on the first launch is bcs of a magnet thats under the small walkpath
We all know the greatest coaster of all time is t3 😎
I know this park since my first visit in 1991 when it was called Meli- park. It had a fairytale forest, some small coasters and the biggest ride was the log flume, now Dino splash. When studio 100 took it over, they put some new rides in for families and kids, but it was still Meli park for me. Until the day they build 'Anubis' and it was well recieved. But that a family park that was own by the same company that started with a children show on sunday in the 90's about a talking dog called 'Samson' and later 'Plop' (PlopSa) and now has this in their park, I couldn't believe it. They now even have a pretty intense Scare nights during Halloween events. Now I can say: This is no Meli park anymore.
I wanna smoke whatever Belgian people are smoking, because every element of this design is brilliant.
Why dont they build more of these when its that good? I have often thought about that 🤔
So, I was wondering since I've never ridden these, how would you compare Eejanaika, Ride to Happiness, and a potential Axis coaster? (in terms of disorienting and intensity)
I would LOVE to ride this, but I don't see myself ever going to Belgium. So I'll just pray that some US park decides to buy a clone. All that spinning looks so insanely fun!
Is it possible your top 25 is releasing soon? I’m curious to see where this ranks at
Welcome to Belgium. It's a little country but we have a worldclass rollercoaster. Come and enjoy!
After being there my first time, I really got addicted and was feeling like I have to go back asap! No coasters made me be this addicted before! It’s the absolute perfect coaster!
Damn….I love Time Traveller way more than most people and this looks like my dream coaster!
fantastic review, couldn't have said it better myself. so glad to have experienced this, it truly sticks with you
Im am so glad it 5 hours away from me
You can see a magnet attached to the first launch that causes the spin on the launch at 6:43. I guess they can reverse the polarity to cause it to spin one way or another while launching.
I timed it so that this could be number 100 on my credit list, and this ride brought me happiness indeed. So far, this is my number one coaster for sure, beating things like Zadra, Untamed and Taron. Just an unreal experience. My significant other didn't rate it at all, she calls it the Road to Perdition.
13:12. MACKlemore reference? Lol
100% agree. It's such an outstanding experience and really gets me excited for what else might come in the future!
This looks amazing! What I thought was weird was that fact that SDC has a magnet. When it first opened, I remember it throwing you around like crazy and it was so disorientating. I wander if people complained so much and had to control it. I definitely remember spinning so much before the launch and then after a year, the spins weren’t so crazy.
Rumor has it Dollywood may get the next MACK extreme spinning roller coaster; hopefully it's somewhere between Ride to Happiness & Time Traveler
Just more background info about the "AI" that says "live today, love tomorrow". That is also from tomorrowland, it is kind of their motivational quotes: live today, love tomorrow, unite forever. What means enjoy the moment and the future together
It is 12 am and I’m watching this, I should probably go to sleep nah ima binge all these videos
Honestly I know none of you probably heard of it but RTH gives me massive vibes from the Geometric Properties that used to be in Artechouse NYC
BEST COASTER EVER!!!
I will never understand why Mack builds better coasters in other parks than their own park. Maybe that‘s the downside of having a showcase park with prototypes.
I think in a decade we're going to look at this ride and view it as THE landmark rollercoaster of this generation. Rides like this don't come often - huge rmcs are great but steve/gwazi/zadra arent going to have the impact that i reckon this will.
Either that or it becomes the next Arrow 4th dimension coaster where it’s universally loved but never becomes a popular model.
To me, this is the best rollercoaster EVER - and I have done 69 laps on it.
Not 2 laps are the same.
New experience every time.
Belgium putting the kind of quality into their rollercoasters that they put into their beers nowadays.
It would have been better themed to Doom, with a heavy metal soundtrack. Other than that it’s great! I will say I’m not a big fan of the bunny hills in the end, too many coasters do that.
it has a twin in Branson, Time Traveler that uses it's terrain to make a very good experience. I'd love to one day ride the Ride to Happiness to compare it to Time Traveler.
I was waiting for you to give it an 11/10 hahaha
They added a small bar with a gap on the first launch. On the left side close to the second launch on the track. When the magnet of ur car goes into the gap the car starts spinning.
So I'm 11 from Belgium and 1.40m so I'm thinking of going on it is that good assuming that I'm only 11
My TOP1 in my chanel of my 200 roller coasters. Some people ask me, really?
Only problem:
The capacity. Cedar point couldn’t build that model
I wish they could lock in the magnet to prevent it from spinning. Then you can experience it not spinning
Man i wrode it like 9 times it was insane, i live only 2 hours away so im proud to have this in belgium
My first real roller coster, almost died at the first fall off then I adored it, did it multiple time 😁
(It was today 😂)
I loved when he said that the only complaint was the price of the ride merch.
I really don't think I will like this one, but the park is still on my bucket list as I wanna say I have at least done it lol
Where does it fall in your rankings?
belgium have some incredible ride for this small country i live here so i am happy
The pov for this is probably my favorite both of your reactions was just the best
I've never seen so many people laughing when a ride hits the breaks.
This ride is amazing, we have been twice in the last few months and am planning another trip now. No two rides are the same, the back is the best. Super comfortable. Smooth as silk. You leave the ride giggling like an idiot! I would say the last two bunny hops before the brake run can be a bit harsh and maybe should be taken a bit slower. 10/10 ride, merch is too expensive it’s prohibitive.
It’s a piece of art. ❤
this is the only review i watched multiple times haha
I’ve booked to go here for the first time with my non-enthusiast boyfriend next week and could not be more excited, especially since it’ll be our first trip together outside of the UK.
He’s not a fan of spinning though so it’ll be interesting to see what he thinks. There’s a clone of Sierra Sidewinder in the UK (Storm Chaser at Paultons Park; great park, super underrated ride) and he could only handle about 2/3 rides on that.
Did your boyfriend like it?
Follow up needed
He dipped after two or three rides (like with Storm Chaser) but really liked it. I loved it - rode it 7 times before I couldn't handle any more XD
@@jakegibbard I'm so excited to go with my boyfriend, we initially bonded over our coaster enthusiasm so it'll be super cute to make a trip to belgium
So do you need to do it in the front or the back for the first time
06:42 there is a magnet on the launch, and a magnet on the train, the train gets launched. hits the magnet and then rotates.
The train's rotate at the launch because there is a magnet on the left at the launch and the train drive thru that.
Mack's magnum opus just like rmcs magnum opus at cedar point
I hope for more of these in every region of America.
