- Storm - The Dragon Legend is the new-for-2023 steel coaster at TusenFryd in Norway. This is a weird multi-launch inverted coaster from Gerstlauer, the company's first invert. This ride features 3 launches, 3 inversions, and a powerful bunny hill. Find out why this is Norway's best coaster in this review!

This layout looks incredible for small parks looking for a stand out attraction
Valleyfair maybeee
It's a good ride.
Gerstlauer should make more of these
I assume they will 🤔😊
I would not be opposed.
They’re already building another one. It’s coming to Parque Del Cafe in Colombia which is the same park where the original Zambezi Zinger got relocated to.
I would not be surprised if we saw one at one of the US palace parks. None of them have an invert
They should also make more hyper coasters like Kärnan
Gerstlauer is my favorite manufacturer. I feel like they have some of the strongest launches in the industry, amazing drawn out or uniquely profiled inversions (If we ignore RMC, Gerstlauer also does barrel rolls very well). But I personally absolutely love the Eurofighter model/infinity coasters, they’re one my favorite models. I like that they’re still experimenting
Gerstlauer is an underrated manufacturer. Karnan really shows off their creativity.
@@CanobieCoasterKärnan is 8 years old now and there is still no ride remotely similar to it. I think Gerstlauer and especially its infinity coasters have a unique capability of building unique rides. I am very interested in Mack's new Stryker Coasters, this could be a similarly versatile model
The hang time in the back row on the reverse side winder looks absolutely delightful I must ride it
It's epic.
This is a really fun ride, but it is a little bit short. Thankfully when we had ERT they were running it for 2 laps like Galeforce. That really makes it a more complete experience. I hope we see more of these in the future. Perhaps a Volcano replacement...?
That sounds great getting double laps for ERT.
My home park (Hansa-Park) has a great relationship with Gerstlauer, and I would really love to see an invert there after "Der Schwur des Kärnan". They are building a newly themed area, and I hope that a Gerstlauer invert will be a part of it, rattle or not ;-) But I agree, having a rattle in the first year of operation makes you think. I hope that they can use the prototype to improve on their next invert. Thanks again for your well-structured reviews!
Yeah i could totally see that at Hansapark, that was one of my First thought too:D
You're welcome. I would not be surprised if Hansa Park got something like this down the road.
@@CanobieCoaster it would be a great fit in their line-up, and certainly could also fit in some of Hansaparks special effect ideas with Swing launches, switchtracks, and other stuff Gerstlauer is good at.
Opinions on this ride were mixed in my group:
Some considered it too bumpy and uncomfortable, while I found the roughness bearable and the restraints quite comfy and appreciated the high intensity. I would also give a 7 out of 10 - a solid ride!
I found it plenty bearable myself, but I can see it being an issue for some.
This kind of seems like Gale Force with the repitive elements, swing launch, and ejector airtime. It's also kind of like Sandy's Blasting Bronco I guess. It looks like a cool ride.
It reminded me of Sandy's.
Rides are just getting better and better
Yes they are.
This seems like an Inverted GaleForce. Galeforce makes my top 10, and for being so compact and short, it is world class. Hopefully they run 2 laps on this so it can be even more good.
It does have some similarities to Gale Force too.
That first dive loop is the coolest thing I’ve seen
It's a good one.
This looks great. I love inverts, and this looks like one of the best.
It's good!
I can’t believe you actually went to Norway to ride this! Or maybe that says how poorly I view my local park. Great and thorough review! I appreciate that there is a qualified review that I can use as a reference for my own experience, to factor out any local bias.
It was one of the largest parks in Europe I had yet to visit and it was easy to tack onto Liseberg. I enjoyed my visit.
Storm is a fantastic ride. The positive Gs are some of the best on earth. Felt about as strong as olympia looping.
Without the awkward restraints!
I liked the positives.
I was really hoping for a better score for this and that it wouldn't have the dreaded Gerstlauer rattle. Oh well. I am tempted to take Tusenfryd off of my list next year since this was the only reason I added it. I have much better things to look forward to I think such as the new Thorpe beast and also the new Europa park coaster which is really looking good!
It's still a unique and intense coaster, but it just isn't perfectly smooth.
Amazing coaster, i was there with low expectation and blow my mind, so fun
Nice!
Great video! Looks very fun despite the roughness! I think I might like the rapids ride more if I went but this would definitely be very high up there for me in the park!
Both are a lot of fun.
@CanobieCoaster Yeah they both look like a lot of fun!
That reverse sidewinder in the back row is so delicious 🤤
So good!
There's also reversed city, a Mack IPC style coaster in China. It was build by jinma, a Chinese roller coaster manufacturer. It has no inversions, but it does have launches, and it's an invert.
Interesting!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Phobia Phearcoaster as part of the Parques Reuinidos swing launch lineup
True, that is another. I was just looking at their overseas parks.
Nice, riding this in four days. Looking forward to it despite it's flaws
Enjoy!
I really hope that Kings Dominion* goes with this model + switch track for higher capacity in a blast coaster replacement. Imagine that layout with sidewinders and airtime hills.
I hope the get a vekoma multi launch coaster
That would be a nice spiritual successor to Volcano.
@@coastercult4142 maybe Vekoma will bring a multilaunch invert to market; that'd be sick.
Would this work for valleyfair...
It could!
I absolutely love Storm. It is one of the best coaster of this size (footprint and lenght)
It's quite good for its size.
I was there on Norway's national day, 17 May. Then there are not many visitors..., and then we got two rounds..., against 1 which is usual.. I thought my life was over after round 1... !! The adrenaline was so high when we got off that I needed time to cling to my friend!! I love roller coasters, but this one I'm going to think hard about next time!! (but....yeah I think i will , even if my heart jumped out)
I heard they reprogrammed it to give 2 laps this year.
We need more launched inverts
Yes
What sort of equipment do you use when filming at parks? I always enjoy your coaster footage.
@@notdoctorqyou replied to the wrong comment lol
Sometimes it be that way.
This was actually my backup camera (my cell phone) since my main camera at the time (Canon G7X) broke.
Fantastic Ride
It's good.
Are you sure that the planks and ladders aren't just theming? That ladder's bottom two rungs appear to be stylishly "broken" in half.
I didn't notice the broken rungs, so maybe that is theming.
This coaster looks incredible and I think a lot of small parks or cheap ones(six flags) could/get one of these
It could make sense to clone.
Lookin' at you, Kings Dominion! 👑🎢
I would not be opposed to that.
Technically it's the 2nd gerstlauer inverted coaster after lipovitan rocket luna at yomiuriland
I saw that listed as a suspended coaster on RCDB. But I agree this is their second coaster beneath the track.
I can’t remember what it’s called but I think gerstlauer made an invert in Japan before this one.
Yomiuriland got a suspended coaster, not an invert per RCDB.
@@CanobieCoaster huh, okay. So that one swings?
I believe it would (even slightly) based on the classification.
This coaster has 2 laps on every ride now, after the first round, it picks up even more speed and goes faster in the second round. It was insane!
That's a fantastic change. They used to only do that for enthusiast events.
As a norwegian. I love Storm for how it is... but i still am a bit "disappointed" that it isn't longer, could have had 1-2 more elements after the airtime hill, to then take you back to the station. But either way, i like the intensity, and yes back row is 100% best...
At least they give 2 laps consistently now to lengthen it.
Glad we have a new launched inverted coaster after the lost of volcano the blast coaster
Me too.
This looks like a great model if KD wants to do Volcano II
This could be a spiritual successor to it.
That thing is painful, I got to try it last year. But overall a very fun ride. The back row is the way to go.
It was an intense ride.
I would ride this 100 times
Nice!
Gerstlauer needs to make Hybrid Coasters
That would be interesting.
I think the company Gerstlauer is mixed in the smoothness department. Some of their coasters are smooth, others...
It definitely helps that their modern coasters always have lap bars as far as I know. Gold Rush for example had a noticable rattle and Karacho had a few rough jolts, but they weren't painful by any means due to the restraints.
Rattle.
Honestly, it kinda seems like an inverted Gale Force because of its blue track.
Sort of has some similarities, especially in terms of intensity.
@@CanobieCoaster That _and_ they do like doing double cycles on it.
So what would you rate Storm - the Dragon Legend?
See this review.
Dive Loop: The Ride
Pretty much.
small and equally pointless correction but: there's actually a gerstlauer inverted coaster in japan
I saw that was listed as a suspended coaster on RCDB rather than an invert, but I agree this is their second coaster below the track.
I love it, but 5g is a lot for my body
It's intense for sure.
0:07 Wrong
The one in Japan is a suspended coaster per RCDB, but I agree this is their second coaster beneath the track.
Ride was fun and had some force, but the seats are awfull!!
To narrow for adults and eats in your upper legs
I found them comfortable, but I'm not too big.
As a quite slim guy, I found the seats and restraints rather comfortable...
Im 1.85cm and not very skinny.
But i can see if you are less then me, Its fine 😝
