Great review had lot of fun exploring this land with you. I honestly prefer this to something like Nemesis probably because prefer Airtime and floaty moments to poitives.

Nemesis is superior in my book, Fianna isn't lacking in positive g though.

Great video as always! I got the chance to ride this a few days ago and it was definitely more intense than I was expecting, obviously not as intense as a 90s B&M invert, but still fairly intense. For an inverted coaster the airtime is impressive and the trains are some of the most comfortable I have ever ridden on, I hope Vekoma do more thrill coasters without the vest restraints. Can't say I enjoyed waiting 75 minutes for it though 😅

That's a long wait! Good to see the park getting people in though! Was it just running one train or two?

@RollercoasterDavid Sadly just one train at the time of queueing. The park also seems to oversell its fastpasses as the queue was bearly moving for 20 minutes with trains still cycling. Fortunately they did put on a second train by 3pm, so with the school trips also now gone it became a 10 minute queue, so I did manage to get a few rides in.

I’ll never tire of following the white dot in real time. 😂 I found Hals über Kopf more fun than I had expected, so no surprise that this one is great, too.

So many key frames! Glad the effort is appreciated! It's all about trying to make my reviews different from the 1000 other KZreadrs

@@RollercoasterDavid Your reviews do have their own style and they’re excellent. I have little doubt that if you somehow had the capacity to crank them out at the pace Canobie Coaster, Airtime Thrills, or Coaster Studios do, your channel would explode. But I suggest you keep your day job and save your sanity. I enjoy your vids at whatever the frequency of output.

The last few videos have done quite well considering the size of the subscriber base of this channel. I should probably try and post to a schedule, but things with my real job have been rather stressful lately!

@@RollercoasterDavid There’s a small part of me that likes the idea of creating a coaster channel, but then my real job and its time demands look at that thought and laugh. I don’t know how you do it.

I think I can just about manage a Defunctland upload schedule, if only I could get similar number of views and subs!

It's such a great idea that these park combine a big coaster with a boomerang coaster. Like Phantasialand also did.

What a great review!

Thanks!

David that's fascinating while still haven't been to Tripsdrill, Na Fianna Force is actually my 4th favourite coaster but then I was extremely lucky to get both a day and night ride on Hyperia, I will of course be going back to Thorpe again when Hyperia reopens up

I noticed the disengagement rattle on black mamba aswell so it could just be an invert thing

Damn, I thought living in Scotland was frustratingly far away from any roller coasters, Hawaii must be the furthest away you can get from any coaster on the planet!

@@RollercoasterDavid i would have to agree! It's sad really but I just have to savor any rides i can get while on vacation! Im proud to say that I got to ride Hakugei, Eejenaika, Flying Dinosaur and SD2000 last year though. Hoping to get back to japan soon for some rerides.... Thank you for the great videos man. I am on team Hakugei with you as well... absolute monster of a rollercoaster and about as perfect as it gets!

Thanks for the great review! How do these new Vekoma Suspended Thrill coasters compare to B&M inverts?

@RollercoasterDavid

I'd say they're less aggressive and are more likely to have airtime. In general I think they're targeted more towards those stepping up from family coasters to bigger rides rather than out and out thrill rides. Either way they're great fun and very reridable

I have done the cu chuallian coaster and loved it and I have never been on a inverted coaster before and I'm a bit scared to go on the na fianna force since there are inversions, do you have any tips or tricks to get over my fear of going upside down on a coaster? 😂❤

@RollercoasterDavid

Just do it! The first time you invert on na Fianna it doesn't actually feel like you're upside down because the g force pushes you down into your seat even when gravity is going in the other direction. Go ride na Fianna, you'll love it!

Great review, on a coaster with a mess of track like this the diagram really helps explain what’s happening? Can the seats ‘swing’ they look like they are pivoted at the top the with the cross braces being dampeners?

@RollercoasterDavid

2 ай бұрын

The mapped diagram actually started out with my review of F.L.Y. , wish I'd a much crazier mess of track! The seats don't swing freely, they may have some dampers and socks but I think they're more part of the suspension than anything to have the coaster swinging

@ElectriKong-

The seats swing slightly to help absorb some forces, but not enough to impact the ride experience.

I’m curious as to why Battlestar Galactica at Universal Studios Singapore doesn’t seem to come into discussion with new-gen Vekomas.

I suspect it's because of its location being a bit far afield for most enthusiasts. That and the many problems it had opening in the past

its pronounced "na feena force"
