Voltron is the debut of Mack Rides new Stryker roller coaster and looks like an incredible ride. It is packed with features including a trick track, world first beyond vertical launch, a swing launch and a turntable. It's a long an impressive ride, but is it any good?
You may have heard rumours that this ride is a bit rough or shakey, find out if that's true in this video. What other roller coasters does it compare to favourably as well?
Will the Stryker coaster prove as popular as the Blue FIre models which have been copied around the world? What does a theme park build when they really want to show off a new ride model?
I'll try and cover everything in a concise way in this video review - Enjoy!

I'm a lover of hard roller coasters💪Soft roller coasters are for grandma and grandpa💤 but not for me😉 Voltron is terrific and absolutely world class👌

@PavelKrypto Месяц назад

I rode it over the last 2 days and am happy to report that I didn't get any shakey rides. Maybe I got lucky or perhaps they've fixed the faulty trains. Either way, I was a big fan of the ride!

@gyeongchankim5423 28 дней назад

This rides looks like a total package to me. Perhaps except for a big drop I guess. Theming, launch, airtime, hangtime, whippy transitions

@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser Месяц назад

Train 5 on Voltron is the "rattle train" as I'd like to call it. It has different running wheels than all of the other trains. Other than in Train 5 I never experienced anything worse than a minimal vibration, even in the bacl outer seats.

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

Why don't they change the wheels then? Surely if the solution is that simple then why not fix it

@Manu-gf3yl Месяц назад

Caus op talks bs. It has to do with the extended rods on which the outer seats are attached. To do this, the entire train would have to be taken apart. Although you can adjust a little here and there, this will not improve the driving experience. This is a design flaw that, in my opinion, requires large parts of the trains to be replaced.@@RollercoasterDavid

New to the channel as was looking for voltron thoughts and was blown away by this reviews organisation, structure, unbiasedness and detail. Excellent work you earned a sub

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

I had 4 rides on Voltron - and I loooooooooove it ! The launches are so powerful ! The backwards launch ripped my head of…almost… The surrounding buildings are nice but I thought they should have built it closer to Italy because of the Venetian influence…

@bobbylindsey Месяц назад

That was a fantastic, unbiased, and very well structured review.

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

Thank you! That's what I try and aim for with all my videos!

@jasondelmaitre2838 Месяц назад

Changes are still being made so that the coaster runs softer. Personally, I like coaster where I have to work and I feel the ride. I think Voltron is an outstanding roller coaster⚡and I love it extremely👌Thanks for this great video👍

@dominicholas3695 Месяц назад

Looks like one of the best coasters ever!

@TylerPCoyne Месяц назад

I don’t know if this is confirmed, but from what I’ve heard, the pre show track (or as Mack Rides call it “the Effect Track”) is meant to act as a scale, weighing the train to determine how much energy and power is needed to launch the train up the inverted top hat.

@lucasnozor7318 Месяц назад

If you're right that's so cool

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

That would make sense, it's a clever idea!

@user-ve7hn2dh8h 22 дня назад

I've read the same

@marty_nz Месяц назад

Looks good. Hexagonal wheel replacement sounds like a great idea. Round should work better.

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

Not just round, but get this... Circular

@johnpluciennk4720 Месяц назад

Another outstanding video. Keep it up.

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

Thanks!

@Tomtycoon Месяц назад

Well made, nice writing!

@Goliath146 Месяц назад

Fun fact: the second launch on Voltron is actually a block zone, if the ride gets stuck it can be used as a swing launch, boosting the train back into the layout!

@marcusalexander3985 Месяц назад

Insane

@alantrotter2077 Месяц назад

Nice review! I like the fact that you pointed Mack's history of showcasing rides at Europa. I agree with your point about the outer seats on the big dipper and I would imagine that could be an issue with this coaster. How was the pacing with the ride? On-ride POV's it looks great. Off ride it looks a little hit or miss. Regardless of the nit-picking Europa has a hit on their hands with this one, I think. Looking forward to riding it in July.

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

I thought the pacing was great! The new Stryker trains look like they have additional bracing compared to the big dipper ones.

@DeathMetalDerf Месяц назад

Oh my god, I absolutely must ride this!!!

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

Do it!

@aoilpe Месяц назад

Yes - do it !

@chrisogrady28 Месяц назад

Mack admitted that two of the trains didn't have the 'complete suspension' installed. They are the skaky ones apparently. I'm very surprised they didn't just run it at lower capacity rather than give so many riders mixed reviews

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

Interesting, where did they admit that, do you have a link?

@KookyBone Месяц назад

@@RollercoasterDavid yeah I saw a lot of smooth onrides too and some shaky as hell... A friend that works in the park told me, that two trains came just some days before opening, because they had some production chain problems for parts of the train... But yeah it seems there is a big difference between the trains

@TheWolfXCIX Месяц назад

Smiler: you're just a cheap fucking knock-off Voltron: No, I'm the upgrade...

By the way, Rimac sponsored this, as they are a Croatian car brand with the fastest electric car one can buy

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

For some reason I thought they were Scandinavian!

@006alecos Месяц назад

Actually Rimac is just the right partner because its a Croatian company 😉

@upsidedown_ Месяц назад

I am happy rimac sponsored this since rimac is also about acceleration, also Rimac is from Croatia, fits the package tesla is just to generic and to boring for a ride like this

@RollercoasterDavid Месяц назад

For some reason I thought rimac was a Scandinavian company, didn't realise they were Croatian!

@@RollercoasterDavid Koenigsegg is probably who you was thinking of. They are practically the Petrol Version of Rimac-Buggati since they got bought by VW in 2023 or Early 2024.
