While Karnan was definitely my favorite of the park, Novgorod took me completely by surprise! It's such an underdiscussed ride. I also love the totally wacky exit that keeps the experience going even after the ride ended.
I just got to visit this park for the first time, this past weekend. What a gem of a park with two absolutely amazing Gerstlauers! Also got to ride my first ever Schwarzkopf and it was a really good one, it's crazy how much better this is compared to something like Big Loop at Heide Park (while being older as well). Overall, fantastic place and great rides!
One of the most thrilling parks to go to. 2 absolutely crazy insane Gerstlauers, a Schwarzdof Looper and an absolutely massive drop tower. Kärnan alone is the reason to come here but the park has even more reasons with everything else.
I had a HUGE smile on my face hearing of this wonderful park! 40 flips! Canobie loves these rides! I'd heard of that Funtime frisbee as a MOST unique ride + credit. The bumpers look great and fun too. As I said before "strange, weird, bizarre" are breathes of fresh air in themed parks. I also love wax museums & Ripley's.
Karnan, Novgorod, and Highlander are a truly spectacular top 3. Nessie, Royal Scotsman, and Midgard are all fun supporting coasters as well. Crazy Mine was pretty awful however, felt like one of TPR’s Chinese knockoff POVs with how painful it was. Those Maurer cars need better padding for sure
Those were some interesting placements. Glad to see Space Race so high tho, best bumper cars out there for sure. Also, even this season, the few rattly bits on Kärnan were still faaaaaar away from being annoying.
@@jojo_hendriks have been there 2 weeks ago and i did need a break after riding it for 5-6 times in a row. also really depends on the seat. the outside seats and row 3 are worse then the others.
@@phil19985 row 3 certainly doesn’t run as well as the other rows, but that’s been the case for ages. But even there, it really doesn’t bother me much, unlike on stuff like Hyperion
Fun fact: Flucht von Novgorod actually has now the most intense launch in the world (sadly 99% of ppl don't want to accept that and think it's MaxxForce/ Stealth) but the launch goes with an acceleration of 28m/s² for example dododompa was going with 32m/s²
The only time I ever rode coasters on the mainland of Europe was in 1983 at Vienna Prater and also the mountain coaster Meran 2000 in 2009. But Karnan looks to be the world's best Gerstlauer coaster, and possibly the top 20-50 coasters in the world. I can't wait to see your review of it; I'm guessing you'll give it a 9 out of 10. My 2nd guess is that you'll give it 9.5 out of 10 and my third dis 8.5 out of ten. In any case: thanks for posting!
***********************SPOILER FOR KARNAN DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT A BIG SPOILER************************** Mike, I could swear that Karnan has a backwards freefall on the lift itself. Am I nuts here? I could swear that's what happened when I rode it the one time (queue was too long for anything else, only had half a day there only some years back). Maybe I am confusing it with another coaster.. Can you verify if my memory is a sieve or correct lol? I liked it a lot in any case and it's definitely the best ride at the park.
Karnan's castle in real life is amazing, just as this ride is. I wish they would add a turret tower for a future ride to complete it, but with the drop tower and observatory, it's probably not doable, but this is a sweet ride. I would love to see more US rides built with "the element" - especially Cedar Point who lacks that "Dark Ride Surprise/element"......although, I always mark out after the train noise on Maverick 😉
I recently went to hansapark for the first time. Der Schwur des Kärnan is definitly the best attraction in the park but in my opinion the "preshow" kills the pacing of the ride. i dont wanna explain to much to not spoil anybody but its a small down point for me. aswell as the fact that i needed a break after like 5 or 6 rides(Kärnan was a station wait the whole day). my number 2 is highlanger cause the view is awesome and the height is terrifying. tilt mode is awesome and super tilitmode is even better. my number 3 is nessie cause i could leave about 10 centimeters between the lapbar and my body which felt like no restrain at all even with the ejector airtime on the second drop. fluch von novgorod has to flaws to me. first one is the restrains. it was my first coaster with over the shoulder restrains. i had not that issue with the over the shoulder affect itselve but the seats were so close to another that i permanently touched the person next to me, if i wanted to pull my hands above my head or anything. the second thing is that the vertical lifthill kills the pacing of the ride for me. and for last i wanna mention that i prefered Die Schlange von Midgard over the Royal Scotasman. Sorry for that WoT
@@CanobieCoaster maybe i was just a bit disappointed, cause i heared that these are 2 of the best Gerstlauers. And i am spoiled with Gerstlauers with having karacho like an hour away from my home. I wish that youtube had spoiler tags in the comments that i could explain my complains better without spoiling anyone.
Schwur des Kärnan at Hansa Park, and how many other roller coasters in the world did you find to have a shake, a rattle, a shimmy, a jackhammer, a vibration, or a shuffle, not to be among the worst rides you've ridden, but enough to cause a headache?
@@CanobieCoaster it‘s ok! But the real name is Kärnan! In Swedish you call it also Kärnan because the story of the King from Kärnan is in Helsingborg Sweden! And the real Kärnan Tower nearby !
@@CanobieCoaster A new star flyer would be nice. They had one once around the area where Kärnan stands now of what I heard. Edit: the old star flyer was where Kärnapulten stands today.
Imagine going to ride again those wild mouse coasters from Maurer and Mack: Crazy Mine at Hansa Park Kopermijn at Drievliet Wild Mouse at Lagoon Speedy Bob at Bobbejaanland Ricochet at Carowinds Fly at Canada's Wonderland Coast Rider at Knott's Berry Farm If you recommend riding all those wild mouse coasters with families, what would you think?

13: FART
12: FART AGAIN
11: SCHLONG
_GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!_
Lol
Was just looking for this today! I loved the ranked videos, gives me a look into a lot of rides I can’t check out myself!
Convenient timing!

I didn't find Crazy Mine painful.

I still really like Karnan. The 2022 experience just wasn't as reridable.
@@CanobieCoaster I mean I did 30 ride in two days without problem two weeks ago

Sadly not but the 28m/s2 are confirmed

I already made a review for this ride a year or two ago. My thoughts are the same except I'd probably take a half point off now for the roughness.
Great ranking, i love your footage!
Thanks!

It does have a backwards freefall. It's a really fun effect.
Good rides. I like it.

I'd love to see that element outdoors at some point just to see how it works better.

I like the lifts on both main coasters because of the theming. I don't think it disrupts the pacing of Karnan one bit.

I'm still torn....
kärnan and novgorod are pretty close for me.
Great drop vs. great launch!
For shure two of the best coasters in Germany.
I much prefer Karnan.
I only got to ride Kärnan ones in 2022 and I felt the shuffle but it wasn't very gamechanging for me.
Karnan wasn't as reridable with the shuffle.
Awesome video!
Has Kärnan dropped in your rankings?
Yes. Still an amazing ride, but not as reridable now.
Don't be fooled by the statement regarding Super Splash as it completely soaked me to death.
Oh wow!

Too many to answer in a single comment.
Planning on doing a solo trip to hansa and Heide park from the uk. Was the language barrier an issue for you?
Not all employees speak English. A good chunk do. A lot of signage around the park was in dual languages. Had no trouble getting around.
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks
I love space scooter haha
Me too.
What do you mean by 'rollerskater ride system' on royal scotsman
It's the roller skater style model Vekoma produces.
Scotsman has got to be one of the jankiest rides I know.. And you call it smoth 😂
It was smooth for me in 2019.
At 7:39 it‘s not Schwur dis Karnön! It‘s Schwur des Kärnan!
Sorry for the mispronunciation.
@@CanobieCoaster it‘s ok! But the real name is Kärnan! In Swedish you call it also Kärnan because the story of the King from Kärnan is in Helsingborg Sweden! And the real Kärnan Tower nearby !
Fluch von novgorod review?
Eventually
wheres hansa park
Germany I think
Germany
in northern Germany, near Lübeck
Germany
Sad news. They had to put the Holsteinturm out of comission for good and it will be dismantelt for something new to take it's place.
Hopefully they can get something nice in its place like a star flyer.
@@CanobieCoaster A new star flyer would be nice. They had one once around the area where Kärnan stands now of what I heard.

Imagine going to ride again those wild mouse coasters from Maurer and Mack:
Crazy Mine at Hansa Park
Kopermijn at Drievliet
Wild Mouse at Lagoon
Speedy Bob at Bobbejaanland
Ricochet at Carowinds
Fly at Canada's Wonderland
Coast Rider at Knott's Berry Farm
If you recommend riding all those wild mouse coasters with families, what would you think?
Coast Rider hurts because of the shin guards. The others don't have them.
Now please tell the truth, we're 2 fart coasters then a shlong coaster put together because of their names 😆
Lol
All thee fharts I was expecting some Scheisse
Lol

Sorry if I mispronounced it.
@@CanobieCoaster na it’s because u said fart lol
