Holiday Park is a German amusement park owned by Plopsa. The park is most well-known
for Expedition GeForce, which is one of the world’s best roller coasters, but this very
green park has a handful of other noteworthy attractions. So in this video, I will countdown
the park’s top 10 rides and attractions. 10) Splash Battle- Part of the new-for-2021
Wickie Land viking themed area, this splash battle is a colorful boat ride around the land. And if
there are a lot of kids running around, you’re sure to engage in some soaking water fights.
9) Grobe Welle- This Zamperla Disk-O coaster is also part of Wickie Land. I always find the
outward-facing seating position of these diskos fun for the visuals they create.
And you get some weightlessness on this one flying over the speed hump and far spikes.
8) Lighthouse Tower- This Funtime Star Flyer is the park’s tallest ride, standing 262 feet
or 80 meters tall. The visuals of the heavily forested park from such heights
are breathtaking and you get some mild force from the spinning as well.
7) DinoSplash- This Intamin river rapids ride was renovated into a dinosaur adventure for
the 2020 season. The ride is well-landscaped, has atmospheric music, and some animatronics
including an awesome t-rex finale where your raft bobs up and down from a wave machine.
The rapids on this one are pretty weak, so it’s all about the visuals and setting.
6) Anubis Free Fall Tower- This Intamin drop tower stands 230 feet or 70 meters tall,
so it can give some great views, particularly if you’re on the side facing Expedition GeForce.
This one holds you at the top for a while and gives no warning for the drop.
The plunge wasn’t as forceful as other Intamin second generation towers,
but it still gave some weak floater airtime. 5) Burg Falkenstein- This dark ride is dark.
You have some morbid scenes depicting all sorts of violence and torture. The animatronics are dated,
but the sets are large and I love the massive dragon animatronic at the very end.
4) Sky Fly- This Gerstlauer flat ride is one of the world’s best and most intense flats
IF you know what you’re doing. If you can rhythmically throw your weight back and
forth to get that first inversion, you can rapidly invert for the remainder of the ride. I got nearly
20 flips on this ride and you get strong sustained laterals while wildly flipping. I came off dizzy.
3) Sky Scream- This is the best Premier Rides Sky Rocket II.
It starts with a horror themed queue line that I believe sometimes has scare actors.
Then you have an exciting launch sequence with some audio and strobe effects. Then you have the
usually forceful ride with just lap bars. The launches are fine, but the standout part is the
ejector pop on the ascent, the insane hangtime on that super slow barrel roll high above the ground,
and the powerful concoction of ejector airtime and wild laterals on the main drop.
2) Wickie Splash- This Mack log flume really caught me by surprise. This one has three drops,
including a really nice backwards one and a gigantic double down at the end.
The second part of that double down gives some weightlessness. You also have some themed indoor
sections and Viking theming along the course, which make it an all-around great flume.
1) Expedition GeForce- Was there any other choice? This Intamin mega coaster is one of the best rides
in the world for sustained ejector airtime. Every single camelback and bunny hill launches you out
of your seat for a few seconds. And then you also have one of the world’s best first
drops. That super steep, twisting plunge delivers an incredible combination of ejector airtime
and crazy laterals. The ride does have a bit of a lull in the middle of the ride with the overbanks
and S-hills that are just ok, but the ride has an amazing start and finish. And it’s glass
smooth with a great setting in the woods too. And I talk about it more in a separate review.
So those are the top 10 rides and attractions at Holiday Park. What is your favorite ride
