Gold Rush looks like a very photogenic coaster if you ask me. Perfect for professional photography. (Especially that end shot God that looks beautiful)
Before I rode it last year, I thought it looks fine but my expectations were not too high, so I was quite impressed by this coaster: First of all, the theming is great and the ride is short, but with a nice intensity, especially the dive loop provides cool hangtime after the backwards launch. Overall, I enjoyed Gold Rush (and some other Infinity Coasters - Kärnan and Karacho, which are also great fun!)
I remember seeing an interview with one of the engineers at Gerstlauer, where he said that the team that worked on the Gold Rush was a bit puzzled as to how they were going to fit this rollercoaster roughly into the same space as the compact made-for-travel Thunder Loop. I think they did a good job though!
YES!!! I would love to see a lot of smaller parks get these... They're compact, thrilling, and will have a great capacity for parks with not as many visitors. Also the triple launch system could be marketed well and would attract many visitors... I'd really love to see the concept of Gold Rush taken a bit further with a non-enclosed circuit and/or a beyond vertical drop. It's very doable.
For the small Themepark of Slagharen, it is "expensive" and I consider it a massive succes! the hangtime in the dive loop is pretty unique and makes re-runs worth it.
The top speed isnt 90kmh its 95~96kmh. When they where testing the speed came out higher. Yes they should build more unique triple launch coaster. Also thx for the laugh. More dutch coaster plz cuz the pronounsiation is just funny to listen to.
@@autogolazzojr7950 I'm a bit late but oh well. and yea that's true but for smalled parks 800 guess per hour is actually pretty good, and it's a fun coaster. I dont see this working for bigger parks though
I love Gold Rush! :D I rode it 10 times in a row two days ago :). I love the way the second launch feels in the back row, cuz you are almost completely over your head when climbing the hill. The soundtrack is also amazing, but you can't really hear it in the queue, they really need to turn it up hahaha
It's definitely a front row ride. In the back it is very rough. In the front it's also shaky, but less. The launches also felt more forceful in the front. The first two launches are pretty forceless, but the third is very good and has a solid sense of speed. The top hat, helix, drop and slingloop/sidewinder are forceless. The bunny hill should give air, but it doesn't, because the ops staple you. The dive loop does give some wicked laterals. It's good ride, but it's not enough to be a top tier Gerstlauer.
I did get air on the bunny hill though, maybe you where holding on too tightly? That’s the reason I didn’t get air time on my first ride there either, because I was too tense, hunched over in my seat and holding on too tightly/bracing myself too much. Edit: Sorry, I read that wrong, didn’t read they pinned you into too much. But even the times I was strapped in tightly, I still got air time (not including the first time because of my own fault).
Hahaha you must be joking. The front is so much better. The back shakes you around like riding a bull. I guess it is a western themed park though, so theming?
@@DaanBruins nah, I enjoyed it more kn the back. Difference is really only in two elements but that still makes the back my favorite. And the slight rattle just adds to the ride
@@CoasterTopia Yeah i rode Formule X at Drievliet in the Netherlands, it was tiny and short. But overall a very good ride with a fun launch, a good airtime moment and lots and lots of hangtime.
Pretty cool. The 5 car trains look sweet, good their upping the capacity even though for this ride it was a must since its only 1 train. I hope the line isnt too bad
it really depends. if you're a park like cedar point than no, but if you're a smaller park without a lot of space then these types of coasters are very good
Appeantly SW8s name is K - Hole, I read it on a article, but it might've been written by a GP because it had a picture of the corkscrew from the park. I hope its a troll tbh. But Great video bro!
Thats a great addition for many smaller parks giving the cheap price and small footprint. But i could see them struggling at bigger park such as Cedar Point or Portaventura as the throughput on top of the sheer amount of guests will not work well. Maybe they could add a duel station away from the launch just like in Mr.Freeze blast ride at Six Flags.
I'm not sure exactly for this one, but "4D Roller Coasters Explained" took 14 hours to produce from start to end. This one was probably closer to 10 hours. :)
That's a good suggestion. However, there is a lack footage for some older roller coaster that no longer exists. This makes it difficult to produce videos on these roller coasters. I will continue to look into it though. :)
Joris en de draak is on the list of roller coasters to cover in future videos. De vliegende hollander is also on the list too! Thanks for the suggestion. :)
I'll think about creating a video on that coaster when it is open, as it's difficult to get footage and information on a coaster that hasn't been built yet! :)
No more triple launches. They seriously limit capacity and the launches are boring. I'd rather have one awesome, forceful launch and a higher capacity then 3 mediocre forceless ones.
From what I've heard, the final launch on Gold Rush is quite forceful. Many have rated this ride extremely well, especially when factoring in how small and compact it is. SRIIs I understand the hate, but this is something more exciting. Capacity is an issue that is dependent on the park. 800 riders per hour is a good number for Slagharen. :)
I think these kind of coaster look look and might be fun. But it is so short of a ride and I don't like that. The rest looks really fun tho. Only if the ride was longer it would be 10/10
Lol the hard G... Only dutch can do that... Even I as Belgian cant... And btw R.I.P. Thunder Loop/Looping Star... It was the first coaster of the Netherlands that had a inversion... The same model and same story for the Loopings Star in Bobbejaanland, Belgium. Sadly, thats removed too... R.I.P. We miss you both! D';
Mike Veenhuis yes the coaster contains two spikes (with a highest point of 43meters) a top hat of 40meters a dive loop some airtime and two more inversions where i don't know the name of, i believe the speed is +/- 100km/h and it contains two switch tracks to run two trains at one time. I think they are going the right way now!
I'm a pretty big roller coaster fan and can handle quite much but even though it looks mild it actually is much more intense than you think, espacially in the backseat. The backseat is almost painful because you get dragged over all the hills and drops instead of going smoothly over the track.
LOL. I'm a California native. These things are drilled into our heads at an early age. Gold was DISCOVERED in 1848, but the word didn't get leaked till '49 (it was a secret.)
I understand the true top speed is higher than what was stated in the video. However, the exact value of the true speed has not been published to my knowledge. Reports of 95kmh were estimates from various websites. :)
I think Gold Rush is a good replacement, though it's a lot more intense. The Looping Star was iconic though; it's one of those things that people associated with the park.

10/10 pronounsiation of slagharen. ist a great ride for the amout of space
love it
jerkermiz just like a super loop or free fly... Lol jk
I laughed so hard when you said 'Slagharen' 😂😂😂 You made my day😂
That's my aim! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. :)
Tiger Games same 😂😂😂
Tiger Games same. Lol
Same xD
Tiger Games same
Besides the accent, the pronounciation of Slagharen was outstanding.
YESS! A new Dutch Roller Coaster :)
Whoooo! :)
Gold Rush looks like a very photogenic coaster if you ask me. Perfect for professional photography. (Especially that end shot God that looks beautiful)
I have to agree, the colour scheme and train design are fantastic. As well as the general theming, it's a great looking coaster. :)
It's got one of the best colour schemes ever if you ask me. I really love it
Nice pronunctiation, you keep nailing the Dutch names :)
also, great quality video
Thank you, I really appreciate it. :)

Overall, I enjoyed Gold Rush (and some other Infinity Coasters - Kärnan and Karacho, which are also great fun!)
As you said all the Infinity coasters seem to be a lot of fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Also this ride looks so much bigger in real life my lord
I remember seeing an interview with one of the engineers at Gerstlauer, where he said that the team that worked on the Gold Rush was a bit puzzled as to how they were going to fit this rollercoaster roughly into the same space as the compact made-for-travel Thunder Loop.

They did a great job! :)
"Only operates 1 train" -> "Each train has..."
uhm... :P
You know what I mean ;)
Could you do ride manufacturers explained videos? ;D
They are on the list, I'll get around to it eventually! :)

I'd really love to see the concept of Gold Rush taken a bit further with a non-enclosed circuit and/or a beyond vertical drop. It's very doable.
I very much agree! :)
I could actually see Gerstlauer clone this. But of course it would be better if they stuck to custom infinity coasters
Fury in Bobbejaanland bring you this, two years after you wrote this comment.
This was actually a pretty kick ass ride!
Awesome, it definitely looks it! :)
It’s like a Skyrocket II, but better
Awesome! Thanks for the shoutout at the end :)
No problem, thanks for allowing me to use your awesome footage! It's really fantastic Tibor. :)
Was there on the opening day! Amazing ride for this short layout! Everyone who visit the netherlands should check it out!
Awesome to hear! I'd love to give it a go. :)
It makes my day when you post a new vid. Thanks Harry!
No problem! Thanks for such a nice comment. :)
I liked how you did this video for a rollercoaster that I have never heard of. I like to learn new things.
Awesome! It's fantastic to hear you've learnt something new, that's one of our aims here! :)
For the small Themepark of Slagharen, it is "expensive" and I consider it a massive succes! the hangtime in the dive loop is pretty unique and makes re-runs worth it.
Gold Rush definitely looks like a success to me!
The top speed isnt 90kmh its 95~96kmh. When they where testing the speed came out higher.
Yes they should build more unique triple launch coaster.
Also thx for the laugh. More dutch coaster plz cuz the pronounsiation is just funny to listen to.
TheRedwing Nah, reduces capacity

@@Sweetie.21Nah I don't hold on very tight on coasters. I guess the ops just sucked that day.
What is: an underrated coaster.
Seriously though, this ride is a beast. The intensity and fun of this thing is crazy. The back row is especially crazy

@@DaanBruins nah, I enjoyed it more kn the back. Difference is really only in two elements but that still makes the back my favorite. And the slight rattle just adds to the ride
I like the creative, somewhat different inversions on this.
Me too! :)
this is the fourth dutch coaster now, you must really like the Netherlands
I have a lot of Dutch friends, so it's very easy to make videos on roller coasters in the Netherlands. There's quite a few hidden gems over there! :)
If you do a video about a darkride, yoy have to do it about Symbolica!
I'll add Symbolica to the list, thanks for the suggestion! :)
Would you ever like it if Maurer did a triple launch coaster using their X-Cars?
Kenepo4u why not?
Sometimes they can be painful
Coaster Max nah not really. gforce is bad but all the other X-Cars are great
rip ride rockit is horrible with shaking and pain now.
@@CoasterTopia Yeah i rode Formule X at Drievliet in the Netherlands, it was tiny and short. But overall a very good ride with a fun launch, a good airtime moment and lots and lots of hangtime.

I imagine for the park, the capacity is quite suitable. I have to agree, the 5 car train looks great! :)
Great video! I really liked it. I hope you bring more great videos like this soon.
Thank you, I appreciate it. There's a lot more to come in the future. :)

Video : Brake run
Subtitle : *break run*
Does the brake run break? Ouch! I break my run!
I can't wait to experience my first Infinity Coaster. I guess I'll have to try to get to Knott's Berry Farm for Hangtime sometime over the winter.
They are fantastic rides, you won't be disappointed! :)
Awesome video Harry!
Thanks Aron, how bad was the pronunciation? ;)
COASTER BOT Pretty good! It's a difficult name to pronounce but you pretty much nailed it for someond not familiar with the language :)
You are too kind ;)
We need to hear Harry do more pronunciations!
You don't want that, trust me!
But I want to. I want to hear Harry say Joris en de Draak and Vliegende Schatkist and Kikkerachtbaan.
Oh no, that doesn't sound good... Ha ha :)
it really depends. if you're a park like cedar point than no, but if you're a smaller park without a lot of space then these types of coasters are very good
A larger version of this ride without the triple launch, and just one launch, would be very interesting for any large theme park I'd say. :)
Harry: What is gold rush
Me: a great coaster
It certainly looks it!
Waiting for Nova to comment something like 'Harry, you can stretch out my sidewinder' or something like that .... nice video btw!
Or he can grab him by the pony ;) Remember that video?
Welp, he commented something even more graphical...
DrDewott Yeah ahaha
DrDewott Yeah ahaha
COASTER BOT I saw, and yes it was rather more graphical to say the least ....
SlahhGGGharen xD
(I am Dutch so i enjoyed that)
Ik ook echt geweldig
Translation: mee to super amazing
Appeantly SW8s name is K - Hole, I read it on a article, but it might've been written by a GP because it had a picture of the corkscrew from the park. I hope its a troll tbh.
But Great video bro!
I highly doubt it will be named 'K - Hole'. Thank you anyway! :)
Yes
Sllagharen is best pony park.
If you say so! :)
“You can pet them, you can ride them, you can grab 'em by the Pony.“ :D
Thats a great addition for many smaller parks giving the cheap price and small footprint. But i could see them struggling at bigger park such as Cedar Point or Portaventura as the throughput on top of the sheer amount of guests will not work well. Maybe they could add a duel station away from the launch just like in Mr.Freeze blast ride at Six Flags.
A duel station would definitely solve the throughout problem. It's a fantastic addition for Slagharen especially though. :)
What is your outro music called? Cool song, hum it all the time!
The music is Tobaggan by Silent Partner. It's a great song! :)
Cool stuff, thanks :)
0:25 ay, that's as my birthday
You nail all the dutch names 🇳🇱
How long do you take to make videos? I just wanna know
I'm not sure exactly for this one, but "4D Roller Coasters Explained" took 14 hours to produce from start to end. This one was probably closer to 10 hours. :)
You should do a series called what was ______ and you talk about roller coasters that have closed down
That's a good suggestion. However, there is a lack footage for some older roller coaster that no longer exists. This makes it difficult to produce videos on these roller coasters. I will continue to look into it though. :)
COASTER BOT jusy do this kind of series like 1 time per 3 months
COASTER BOT thanks
I love gold.rush🎢
Gold Rush looks fantastic! :)
Awesome!
Thank you! :)
Interesting ideas:
Inverted Coasters: Explained
Spinning Coasters: Explained
Flying Coasters: Explained
Wing Coasters: Explained
I will note them all down for the future, thanks for the suggestions. :)
make a video of what is joris en de draak in the efteling or what is de vliegende hollander the efteling
Joris en de draak is on the list of roller coasters to cover in future videos. De vliegende hollander is also on the list too! Thanks for the suggestion. :)
You need to make more videos of Dutch Coasters just so we can hear you say their Dutch pronunciations.
There will be more Dutch coaster videos in the future. :)
Insane Coasters YASSSSS
ooh could you do the new wing coaster for Toverland next year? It is confirmed and it will open in 2018. I would really like to see that :D
I'll think about creating a video on that coaster when it is open, as it's difficult to get footage and information on a coaster that hasn't been built yet! :)
yep it sure is XD
Even though it hasn't openend yet and isn't even built yet, you should add the new Wing Coaster of Toverland to the list. ;)
Don't worry, it's already on the list. ;)
Nice to hear :)
Can you maybe do What is: Wildfire at Kolmården?
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion. :)
That's fine. :)
The smiler is still to me a very very strange scary and cool coaster.
It's definitely all those things, as well as a great coaster! :)
Gerstlauer version of premier rides' skyrocket II
A better version I'd say! :)
But have you done a Sky Rocket?
I have no, but I prefer parks to be original and unique with their additions.
Your welcome! When is your next livestream and what will it be about?🤓
I'm not sure when the next live stream is I'm afraid! It will most likely be about my visit to Gardaland!
COASTER BOT ok thanks
You know that everything in slagharen is in a wild west theme? Not only gold rush.
I am yet to visit Slagharen, but understand the concept of the park. :)
What's the park called again? :D
You can grab 'em by the Pony ;)
Slllaaaaaagggghhaaarrrreennn

The last launch is as forcefull as Rock'n rollercoaster.
Tim Visser the 3th launch is very intens, I think even better dan rockn rollercoaster
Tim Visser That being said, you don't get that initial kick that you would get from just 1 launch
Zombieface Coasters trust me you get
I would really like something like this at my home park Six flags over Georgia
I'd like to see something like this at quite a few smaller parks, it would work very well! :)
COASTER BOT agreed. It seems like a great coaster.
I think these kind of coaster look look and might be fun. But it is so short of a ride and I don't like that. The rest looks really fun tho. Only if the ride was longer it would be 10/10
The ride doesn't seem too short, especially when factoring in the multiple launches. :)
Lol the hard G... Only dutch can do that... Even I as Belgian cant... And btw R.I.P. Thunder Loop/Looping Star... It was the first coaster of the Netherlands that had a inversion... The same model and same story for the Loopings Star in Bobbejaanland, Belgium. Sadly, thats removed too... R.I.P. We miss you both! D';
Unfortunately older rides have to go as they are just too expensive to run. Goldrush, however, is a fitting and great replacement! :)
Yes, relatively cheap and amazing thrills
Slagharen.....you should ask silvarret to teach you the dutch language XD(but,no literally)
I'm not smart enough to learn a language, especially Dutch! I wish though. :)
COASTER BOT its better than german ;)
Ice Spike 'German is a fake language. It's fake.'
;)
Adri Kerkhofs shut up
Ice Spike :p
What do you think about Star Trek - Operation Enterprise?
It looks good, but to be honest, Gold Rush looks better :)
Should they make more like this? Yes they should!
Definitely! :)
Please could you do what is Schwur des Kärnan! I would love you to pronounce that!
It's on the list! I'd mess that one up completely, I already know ;)
well this looks cool
It is! :)
Harry, it's big and blue, it's the worlds largest monorail do you know what it is, also never heard of this ride.
Would it be the 'Big One' by any chance? ;)
COASTER BOT correct apparently my home parks "best ride".
What is a gerstelauer infinity coaster?
That's a good video idea. You can learn more about it by watching the "Gerstlauer Explained" video we made. :)
Could you do what is saw the ride
I hope to make a video on Saw: The Ride in the near future :)
For the price I think it's better than a vekoma boomerang and it looks more original =)
Definitely! :)
Please make a Video about Star Trek: Operation Enterprise in Moviepark Germany. Very Intresting launch system.
It's on the list of roller coasters to cover in future videos. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
5 Million Euros!!! That is dirt cheep!!
It really is! :)
Well, for a roller coaster :P
TheGamingCucumber really cheap for what an amazing ride it gives
Do saw the ride explained pls
It's on the list and will appear in the future! :)
What is: Flying Aces?
It's on the list. :)
Now Intamin and Mack need to make their own version of a Sky Rocket 2
That would be very interesting. :)
Nah Soaring with Dragon and Star Trek crush Sky Rocket II's
Intamin already did.
I really wana go with you to Thorpe park or alton towers
Hopefully we can plan some meet ups for next Summer at both parks.
3:20 of course next year finally in bobbejaanland!!
trisney studios Really? Damn that park needs a good coaster
Mike Veenhuis yes the coaster contains two spikes (with a highest point of 43meters) a top hat of 40meters a dive loop some airtime and two more inversions where i don't know the name of, i believe the speed is +/- 100km/h and it contains two switch tracks to run two trains at one time. I think they are going the right way now!
Can you add Troy and Wodan on your list
They are both on the list already :)
What is: Star Trek: Operation Enterprise - Movie Park Germany
It's on the list! :)
COASTER BOT Thanks:)
4 and NICE DUDE
Thanks! :)
what is larson super loop
It's on the list :)
COASTER BOT not a coaster
What
Put one at Valleyfair
That would be pretty awesome! :)
Well, now CF is working with Gerstlauer that could actually be possible!
I'm a pretty big roller coaster fan and can handle quite much but even though it looks mild it actually is much more intense than you think, espacially in the backseat. The backseat is almost painful because you get dragged over all the hills and drops instead of going smoothly over the track.
I've heard very similar things. The ride looks awesome and intense at some parts. I'd love to ride! :)
Backrow right Seat is the most intens with the twisted tophat
Why is a roller coaster in Europe themed to something in western America? That's my question. Looks fun though
Why is Busch Gardens Williamsburg themed to Europe? That's the real question ;)
COASTER BOT lol🤣🤣🤣 that is a good question! Congratulations on 10k too!
Thank you! :)
I was there it was cool
Awesome! :)
Canada's Wonderland: explained? 🤔😁
It's on the list, thanks for the suggestion! :)
Can I point out that the Gold Rush was in 1849?
Looks like Slagharen dun goofed there.
LOL. I'm a California native. These things are drilled into our heads at an early age. Gold was DISCOVERED in 1848, but the word didn't get leaked till '49 (it was a secret.)
Maybe that's what they were aiming for, only the discovery of the gold! ;)
Who knows? However, the name being "Gold Rush", I'm guessing they messed up.
SLAGHaren Gold Di-- I mea Rush
Oh my
0:38 You say 30 years but its 37
It's a side winder on steroids
Definitely!
COASTER BOT
Ha Lol!!!!
The coaster has a topspeed of 95 km/u ;D
bek houwe
I understand the true top speed is higher than what was stated in the video. However, the exact value of the true speed has not been published to my knowledge. Reports of 95kmh were estimates from various websites. :)
this doesnt look like an american wooden rollercoaster known as mystic timbers D:
That's because it isn't! ;)
i know i was joking xD but on a serious not when will it come out :O
I'm not sure, you tell me! Soon.tm
i hope tm means tomorrow :O
I miss the looping star
Do you not think Gold Rush is a good replacement?
COASTER BOT I have not been in it yet but looping star has a special place in my hearth because it was my first coaster that whent upside down
I think Gold Rush is a good replacement, though it's a lot more intense. The Looping Star was iconic though; it's one of those things that people associated with the park.
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Drayton Manor could do with one of these; it’s cheap and they need a new ride, desperately
That'd be fantastic but I don't Drayton Manor will make any thrilling investments any time soon
They could use it as replacement for G-Force.
