I then tried RMF dragon - a suspended coaster that is meant to be more family friendly. It is the ride with the green track.

Speed was a uniquely terrifying water coaster. (I’ll include water coasters in my rollercoaster tally but maybe that is controversial!). It ascends to the first drop by being elevated by one of the two vertical tracks - I tried not to look down as that happened even as I worried about the ride breaking. Built by intamin, it is the tallest and fast water coaster in the world (50 metres high, 101km/h!). A much more forceful ride than I was expecting. I also rode the water flume Anaconda but unfortunately didn’t get a photo!

Energyus - another family oriented coaster that wasn’t too memorable (or intense, thankfully!)

Hyperion. The tallest and fastest coaster at Energylandia and also that I have ever been on! (Reaching 77 metres high, 142km/h). I was in the front row, and they gave us goggles to protect our eyes from the wind! An incredible ride and it flew through the course, incredibly smoothly. It was fast that I didn’t even notice the single inversion!


After that I rode Viking, a wild mouse style spinning coaster. I thought it would be a fun and gentle break from the thrilling coasters but no! I got slammed from side to side as the coaster spun, hitting my ears from side to side. (I was starting to feel like a wounded coaster veteran at this point!).

Following this I rode Abyssus, a multi launched coaster by Vekoma. That was fun, and also more intense than I was expecting!


I rode three more family coasters - Choco Chip Creek, Light Explorer and Frida. Chocolate. Choco Chip Creek had 3 lift hills, which is something I haven’t come across before. Light Explorer was a shuttle coaster and Frida was another steel coaster propelled up the lift hill by booster wheels.

Pictured below: Zadra, Frida (the purple track), and Light Explorer (the charcoal coloured track).



I concluded the day with one last ride on Zadra. This time I was in the second row, and while fun I could feel the wind against us as we raced along the course.


By now I was sunburnt, bruised and dehydrated and ready to head back to Kraków. I had a long walk to the train station - much further than google maps was suggesting. So I missed the train I had planned to be on. Near the train station there was a vending machine attached to Zator Holiday Park. It looked very basic, almost like a trailer park. But being able to get a bottle of water was like finding an oasis in the desert! My train back was delayed 15 minutes. But it was very nice to return to the hotel.



I liked Energylandia, and for an amusement park it has the best rides of any I have been on. Though the space is massive (like Europa Park) but doesn’t have any transportation around the site. (And the park is split in two by a road running through the middle!) I think Energylandia lacks some of the ‘magic’ of other European parks like Tivoli or Europa Park. Still was a very good day!
