What does Bart say? – A Theme Park blog!

My top #10 coasters!

🥇Voltron Nevera! Park: Europa-Park 🇩🇪 | Manufacturer: Mack Rides (Stryker Coaster) | First ridden: 2025
The reason why Voltron Nevera is at #1? After riding this in 2025, it became my undisputed number one. It is a masterpiece of engineering by Mack Rides. From the world’s steepest launch at 105° to the sheer unpredictability of the Stryker Coaster model, it offers an intensity that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. It’s not just a ride; it’s a total sensory overload.

🥈Taron! Park: Phantasialand 🇩🇪 | Manufacturer: Intamin (LSM Launch Coaster) | First ridden: > 2021
The reason why Taron is at #2? Taron is a coaster I keep coming back to. What makes it so special isn’t just the power of the two launches, but how it interacts with the rockwork of Klugheim. It feels fast, aggressive, and incredibly smooth. Even after many rides since 2021, that second launch still catches me off guard every single time.

🥉Toutatis! Park: Parc Astérix 🇫🇷 | Manufacturer: Intamin (LSM Launch Coaster) | First ridden: 2025
The reason why Toutatis is at #3? Toutatis is the definition of “airtime perfection.” The triple-launch sequence and the massive top hat provide some of the best moments of weightlessness in Europe. The ride is relentless from start to finish, with Intamin truly pushing the boundaries of speed and pure fun.

Rankings are subjective, and I know some of these picks might be controversial! Which coaster is your absolute #1? Drop your list in the comments and let’s discuss!
