I visited the park for the first time in June, I had a blast! Very quality over quantity. Gotham City Escape is in my #3, edging out Velocicoaster. Just unbelievable. Superman is the best floorless I've done, Shadows of Arkham is my favorite batclone. Coaster Express had a lot of bounce and vibration, but for the most part I didn't think it was too bad. I would recommend this park to anyone stopping by!
@@acegene7284 Yeah GCE is my #3 and VC is my #4. I thought the elements hit harder and the pacing was better. It was like the second half of VC but as a whole ride. Both are excellent but I was slightly more wowed by GCE
@@acegene7284 yes, but BGCE has a insane airtime hill better than Maverick and a massive hangtime stall 80ft tall over Gotham Square... And the Top Hat has 2 strong ejector airtime moments. You're more time flying than sit in your seat.
In my opinion, this is the most American park in all of Europe. I mean that in a positive sense, for example in terms of the theming and the selection of the coasters. How do you see it as Americans? For me as a European, it is definitely a pleasant and high-quality change from what I am used to.
Great video guys. I went there a couple of weeks ago, first time since Gotham city escape was opened. That ride blew me away! Best ride I’ve ever been on, although I haven’t been to the United States … yet!
Was there two weeks ago and had a blast despite the heat. Gotham is absolute ace and Stuntfall was such big surprise for me, that coaster was definitely the number 2 in the park. Superman was nice but it was so hot out there that it was hard to enjoy it. Coaster Express was really boring and rough but to be fair I hated Stampida (red) at Portaventura more because of it's roughness and uncomfortable restraints.
Nice vlog! I had no idea this log flume existed but it would probably top Chiapas or Splash Mountain as my new favorite especially with the theme surrounding that ride
FYI they just added two direct buses. Around 30 min. 10 euros RT. Very convenient and also can do a combo with park tickets. Buses leave from Principe Pio and Mendez Alvaro Bus Station. This is a HUGE plus. Thanks for the great vids!
Shit BGCE looks like it was running fast! As someone who finds Kumba perfectly smooth, I bet I’d love Superman. I also love Batman clones more than most, so it looks amazing too. And then ofc the GIB, looks so fun. Glad you loved it!!
It' sinteresting that a park, that didn't any larger investments since it has been opened in 2002 now has one of the best rollercoasters. Now they should do an RMC conversion with Coaster Express.
Funnily enough, Coaster Express used to be themed to Will Smith movie Wild Wild West, so theming this ride to a movie that is considered bad is hilarious.
Great vlog and reactions ;) 16:45 You sounded so surprised :D I would also love to visit this park obviously especially because of Batman. Unfortunately I don't know anybody who's willing to travel to another country just for amusement parks and I'm German 😂
I'll be going to this park later in October! how did you got there from Madrid? Was it too dificult or is there a train stop, such as Portaventura? Good video, can't wait to ride GCE and Stunt Fall!
It wasn’t too difficult, but was a bit time consuming. We started by taking the train from Estación Madrid - Puerta de Atocha, which took you all the way to Pinto. Then we connected with a bus which went from Pinto to the park. Note that they only accept euros on the bus, so no card payments are permitted.
I've been on a coaster exactly like that one..... Deja Vu Six Flags Great America. Also road Iron Wolf.... neither is there, both still alive somewhere else. Apparently Idaho thanks Google
There is one GIB in China still operating and one in Russia also still operating. Both are newer then this one. And the GIB you can still order from Vekoma by the way.
@@iceblade019 Ah might be of the sanctions that the U.S. forced on The Netherlands, although Vekoma has a production facility in China. So that should not be a problem when you think about it?
@@DJWezzyK I think it’s just cuz the GIB is old, and the park isn’t doing particularly good, they might are just not interested in spending so much on that. That GIB is my first ever coaster too so definitely sad to see it not operating
Well i did think it was the best park in Spain to and that was before they put in that last coaster. Personaly i loved Superman and they must have done something to that woody because it was the most painfull coaster i've ever ridden.. Well this might be the last clipp i see before i head out meself. Going to ststes again and doing Cedar point for the first time lets hope it lives up to the hype.
Do you use much foreign language when traveling about these European countries? Or do you find that you’re just fine using English or minimal foreign language at best? Not really coaster/amusement park related, but just curious in terms of travel outside the United States.
A majority of people we encounter in Europe speak quite a bit of English, but for those who don’t, we try to get by with little bits of their respective language. Just learning basic words really goes a long way.
Batman Gotham City Escape looks insane. I definitely know this is a roller coaster that I would absolutely love. I haven't yet ridden a giant inverted boomerang. Unfortunately, Deja Vu was removed from Six Flags Over Georgia before I got a chance to ride it. Stunt Fall looks great, another coaster I know I would definitely very much enjoy. The onride POV on Superman looked similar to what I remember of my rides on Dominator. They appear to have similar layouts and elements. Coaster Express looks like a god awful waste of wood, metal and electricity. The layout looks terrible -- seems boring as crap. In general, pure woodies (unless they're of a more extreme nature like Hades 360, Thunderhead, Mystics Timbers, GhostRider, etc.) tend to be boring to me, and almost always deliver somewhat to very uncomfortable rides. With that said, I know I would hate Coaster Express. Your experience on it seems very similar to my awful experiences on Hurler at Carowinds -- atrocious!
just finished watching it was absolutely amazing 😆😆😆 and 4:07 that hang time tho 🤤🤤🤤 and u did skip a coaster but it was ur typical Batman clone so it wasn’t anything special
The trim doesn’t kill the drop like it does on Toutatis at Parc Astérix, which has a similar element. On this ride, the trains are smaller, allowing everyone to hang over the edge with an awesome onboard audio synced to the drop 🙌🏻
I’m a huge fan, so the fact that you posted this video the day I was at the park is super cool! I saw @CanobieCoaster there which was also super cool! Batman is now my #1 by a hair above Fury

Keep in mind, the Coaster Express you experienced is AFTER it had a major retrack. It used to be far worse.
It already looked bad on the POV that he taped I wonder how it would be before
@@coastercult4142 Trust me it was actualy painfull
Scary to think about
@@CoasterDash RMC, do it
I am from Spain and coaster expres is the worst coaster in Europe
I visited the park for the first time in June, I had a blast! Very quality over quantity. Gotham City Escape is in my #3, edging out Velocicoaster. Just unbelievable.

Edging out Velocicoaster? That's a little crazy to be completely honest.
@@acegene7284 Yeah GCE is my #3 and VC is my #4. I thought the elements hit harder and the pacing was better. It was like the second half of VC but as a whole ride. Both are excellent but I was slightly more wowed by GCE
Velocicoaster has a better too hat and has a mosasauras roll.
@@acegene7284 yes, but BGCE has a insane airtime hill better than Maverick and a massive hangtime stall 80ft tall over Gotham Square... And the Top Hat has 2 strong ejector airtime moments. You're more time flying than sit in your seat.
If they RmC coastal Express this park would be insane🎥
Best 1 2 punch in Europe along with Energylandia and Phantasialand
What a top 2 that would be 😱
@@sr.chi7741Even better Ibsay! And you have the 3 and 4
pls and thx
Notice the car park covered in Solar? Yeah this park understands what its worth for sure. That Woody definitely needs RMC to do something with it.
Yup or burn it down to the ground, they must have done something to it since last year because it was so bad then.
Great video! Nice collection of coasters and rides this park has!
😂 that wooden coaster!! The trains looked like they were ready to fly off the track. Holy smokes!!
🤣🤣
In my opinion, this is the most American park in all of Europe. I mean that in a positive sense, for example in terms of the theming and the selection of the coasters. How do you see it as Americans? For me as a European, it is definitely a pleasant and high-quality change from what I am used to.
It’s higher quality than most American chain parks. We actually walked away very impressed. Parque Warner was one of the highlights of the trip!
Great video guys. I went there a couple of weeks ago, first time since Gotham city escape was opened. That ride blew me away! Best ride I’ve ever been on, although I haven’t been to the United States … yet!

Still think chiapas is better but this one was good to.
It doesn’t top either for me but it’s certainly up there!

I am going to Madrid next year hopefully and riding this
Have a great time!
BEAUTIFUL PARK

That looks absolutely unhinged. Gotta be a 10/10 ride experience with that heat
Absolutely love these vlogs they are the best vlogs out there

I agree!
I absolutely love your videos!!!!
Thank you so much!
Nice review guys. I have enjoyed watching this video. I'll be soon in Parque Warner Madrid
Funnily enough, Coaster Express used to be themed to Will Smith movie Wild Wild West, so theming this ride to a movie that is considered bad is hilarious.
11:05 Those drivers are all amazing. Reminds me of Ken Block who was an absolute legend.
Yessir hoonigan forever
so excited to ride bgce in 2 months!!
I prefer it over Velocicoaster
Have a great time!
Your screaming reminds me of thrillville off the rails when you would hit the scream button on a ride 😂
Hello I’m Spanish Batman Gotham City Scape is ❤❤❤❤ is the best
I go crazy over roller coasters and thrill rides.
I've been on a zamperla power surge before.
Same
Great vlog and reactions ;) 16:45 You sounded so surprised :D
I would also love to visit this park obviously especially because of Batman. Unfortunately I don't know anybody who's willing to travel to another country just for amusement parks and I'm German 😂
Great video Mark. I've never been able to guess your age. You look 17/18 but my gut says you're probably older.
Gotham City Escape needs to come to a six flags in the US looks like the total package.
We can dream!
Superb ❤
It almost looks like they profiled some of the turns on Batman so that the turn becomes sharper the further you go onto it?
Interesting observation! I wouldn’t be surprised.
not sure if you heard but on the giant inverted boomerang you could hear kids crying and saying they want off lmao
You should have done a backseat on Gotham City - airtime is crazy.
Looks like a great park!
movie park used to have the car show last winter they re did the decor
if you get to mirabilandia dont miss out on the stunt show there
5th also, BANGER video. Keep it up!

You guys forgot the Batman Clone
But I mean it is a Batman clone . If you ridden one you’ve ridden all
We rode the batman clone off camera, and it was certainly a good one!
Lagoon amusement park In Utah
did you get all creds or did you just re ride batman
how was the attendance?
Park was mostly quiet, with the only wait time over 10 minutes being for Batman GCE. Ironically, that one never went below an hour all day.
just finished watching it was absolutely amazing 😆😆😆 and 4:07 that hang time tho 🤤🤤🤤 and u did skip a coaster but it was ur typical Batman clone so it wasn’t anything special
I rode the batman clone, just off camera. It was a great one though! thanks for watching :)
@@CoasterDashno problem we’re u not allowed to record on the Batman clone
The trims look to kill the drop, but I love the theming and visuals!
Agreed
It doesn't, it's also needed because while on ride you are listening to batman talking you thru the ride and whats happening
@@aa-rr3lb Ah, ok. It’s hard to tell through the pov
The trim doesn’t kill the drop like it does on Toutatis at Parc Astérix, which has a similar element. On this ride, the trains are smaller, allowing everyone to hang over the edge with an awesome onboard audio synced to the drop 🙌🏻
@@CoasterDash suprising. It looks like it slows the train down more than toutatis. The theming sounds really cool though.
Spare a thought for the people going to Southern Europe during one of the worst heat waves in history.
Honestly, it wasn’t so bad in our opinion
first + 43 seconds ago
Not first but ok
In the park, you can ride a Batman clon, Batman Shadows le Arkaham
Just found your channel! Your newer vlogs are so much better with the rides than the old ones of just the reviews. Love the vids!
more vlogs, my first onride audio i enjoyed
3:09 bro is freaking out rn
