I love when a park's creative team can combine excellent story, with excellent themeing, with an excellent coaster. Schwur des Kärnan looks exceptional, and I love how there's not another ride even remotely comparable to it.
I'm so lucky to have Hansa Park as my home park. Kärnan is just amazing and I honestly can't believe that a small family owned park (it was once a Legoland btw) built this. Just the two Gerstlauers easily crush the nearby Heide Parks lineup. My personal favorite coaster and I even prefer it over Taron.
Kärnan vs Taron is an endless battle:D i cant decide... Kärnan was the first ride that really thrilled me to the bones meanwhile Tarons nightrides are just so fast and wild, exactly what i love on a coaster... dang x)
@@clubstep8244 Exactly. Especially my first ride on Kärnan was out of this world, I wish I could experience the first one once more. I had no idea what this huge machine is doing while being in the tower for the first time. I guess I prefer Kärnan, even if this seems to be the less popular opinion. xD
Finally got to ride kärnan, immediate number 1! The theming + layout + spoiler elements make it the most complete package I've ever done. Defo helped my first and last rides of the day were front rows and also got back twice out of 5 rides, very lucky row selection
been on Kärnan so many times due to my holidays at the baltic sea. this year my first son (7y) was tall enough to join me. he was absolutely thrilled. we got lucky and got picked for the first row. you cant describe the feelings when you roll out the station and reach the entrance to the tower. when the track in front of you turns 90 degreees in the sky to pull you up that tower. i cant compare this feeling to any other ride
@@CanobieCoaster ua-cam.com/video/5XDbm95PGfI/v-deo.html this is the full version of Kärnans soundtrack, orchestrated...with a Choir also, this shows how epic this soundtrack really is
Best coaster I ever did! The indoor theming, the story they slip step by step in your mind with visuals and documentaries. Also we had some crew playing like we were workmen for them getting ready to work in the dark. This even gave another dimension to the experience. Leaving the station until the end of this coaster is pure insane. Well, maybe I have a little complaint about this coaster... Ever since I rode it it's harder to enjoy all other and new coasters as... it never gives the same experience. I will always compare with Karnan. After you felt what Karnan offers your body with insane forces... it's hard to find any better. If you have a chance to sit on the back row I can tell you that the ejector time in the top of the castle leaving in 90° vertical down is the most insane ever. I love to ride Exp Gforce on last row as it can give little blackout, last row on Karnan you don't even find the time for a blackout :-D.
I love this Coaster! HansaPark was my Home Park till 2020. I´ve mostly gotten more than 100 Rides per Season. And it never got boring. Just the Tower-Section is a little annoying after a few rides on a day. During the Halloween-Event at the Park. The Trains turn their lights on. It´s a great experience, seeing all the Indoor Sections with a little light. Very Nice Video! Enjoyed it! :) P.s. The "Magic Seat" on Kärnan is the left seat in the 4th. row. The Drop feels even stronger there.

I didn't expect to see a Six Flags America clip of Voodoo Drop in a review of a Germany Gerstlauer. I've been to Six Flags America, now I to to get myself to Germany!!
That's a really cool review. Imagine I live 12minutes away from it. I rode it uncountable times and I still have a smile on my face everytime we leave the station :))
I finally got my ride on this absolute beast last year and I was (and still am) completely blown away. The theming is awesome. The vertical lift (my first one ever) is certainly odd, but just adds to the experience. The layout is frickin AMAZING. Yknow I thought the second part that is close to the ground always looked boring on video, but when you actually ride it, it's brutal, thanks to the speed. I am rarely intimidated by coasters but this one really made me nervous (and very excited haha) when I first saw that giant tower in front of me. Sadly I live at the other side of the country so I don't know when I'll get back :')
This thing is the example of a manufacturers gem! Nothing by gerstlauer looks to compare, and in my opinion I think this looks like an underrated ride even with all the love it gets, it looks so good, top 10 bucket list in the world for me!
Living only 45 kilometers away from this park, I can say: nothing is better. I've been there last year (yes that was actually possible for a few days or so) and been in Schwur des Kärnan three times and in Fluch von Novgorod three times aswell. Absolutely worth visiting :D
I was stunned by this attraction: The overall apperance is just impressing, the theming is great and even the "pre-show" which decides your seat is a unique feature I had never seen before. But the ride itself is not less great: it is very forceful, fast and the layout is extremely variable, so there is no dead spot. There is a rattle, but it didn't bother me, I thought it even fitted to this relentless thrill machine (it is DEFINETELY NOT a "Family thrill ride", how the park once called it) After the final break run, the final inversion and helix are quite slow, so they seem a little pointless. But the rest of this coaster is absolutely amazing, it's one of my favourites in Germany
Rode it first time last sunday aswell after Novgorod (so hello again in your comment section 😂) and I gotta say that I find the suprise on the chainlift pretty smooth. My seat was last row, left out just like Novgorod.😂 One of best coasters I've been on and one of the best over here in germany. Once we got back into the station I and some other riders had to clab at the end because this coaster is so frigging awsome. From the theming to the ride itself and of course the soundtrack. Totally a must-ride if you happen to get the chanche!
I rode this four times. The first time, it assigned me to row one. The second time, it assigned me to row one. The third time, it assigned me to row one. The fourth time, it came down to just two rows left, one and two, and it assigned me to row two.
Canobie Coaster If I had to get any row over and over, I’m glad it was the front. But I did come away thinking the coaster has a strong rattle, and I was told afterward that the rattle is usually felt in the front but not the back. 🤷♂️
Great review of my favorite coaster in germany. To 7:38: This is the English translation of King Erik: See what it did to me. As a shadow of myself I'm banned within these walls and I can't leave the Kärnan any more. You won't be safe for the next thousand years. I swear that to all holy men.
I’ve ridden it before because I live in germany. And it’s for sure the best Gerstlauer Coaster and at the moment my number one coaster. I really enjoyed the ride it was themed so good and it’s just awesome this is just something you have to ride Its do incredible! deffinently a must ride I also enjoyed the elements and the airtime it’s just amazing. and I think it’s not rough at all so yeah for sure a 10/10 for me to.
This is what I would imagine Cannibal would be like, if it stayed low to the ground. Also something kind of interesting, Cannibal opened one day after Karnan.
Idk if the shakiness has gotten worse because I rode it yesterday in 2023, I absolutely loved it and it's my all time second favorite coaster. But damn that shakiness is bad, I rode it three times and in the last ride I got a pretty bad headache
I live in germany and i was there , but i was so scared because of that backwars free fall and i didnt ride the coaster. Could u give me thips how i can get over with this?
Did you find Schwur des Kärnan to be rerideable in 2019 and in 2022? The video of top coasters in Germany said: I still love this coaster, but it became very difficult to reride now.
Schwur des Karnan looks incredible! I've never ridden any coaster in Germany, but my top two favourite coasters in England are Icon and The Smiler. I preferred Icon out of context, but know it's not as good as many Mack coasters. But when it comes to Gerstlauer: Unlike Icon is for Mack coasters, the Smiler is better than Gerstlauer's 6th best coaster. Having said that: It's not as good as Schwur des Karnan, which although I've never ridden I can tell is better than The Smiler.
It's because the main theme of the park is the Hanse, the commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns - helsingborg must?should/could? have been a part of the Hanse ;-)
@@tobiashomann1077 Afaik it was rather the other way around, the Danes used it to control the narrow straight here, taxing ships that wanted to pass. A big point of contention between Denmark and the Hansa. Edit: Though I guess that in some way still fits what you wrote, to control Kärnan was a Hanseatic dream that never came to be, but now their descendants have their own ;)
Yes this is very awesome! I wish I could ride this soon but too bad I have no intent of going to Hansa Park because it's in Germany and my parents would absolutely not go across the Atlantic for an amusement park
I completely get you - actually, that's what I did in 2011 - visited the US just for an amusement park (I'm German) or, more precisely, just for a single coaster, one of the best and most iconic woodies on this planet ^^
I will go to hansa park in 2023 from south-holland to germany Bieng in my favorite country in the world and bieng in Untamed and Kärnan is just 😍😍😍😍😍😍 (CEDAR POINT 2022 GERSTLAUER WILL MAYBE RULE THE WORLD)
I mean I knew I was super hyped but now I just for some reason got a chill. I haven’t spoiled it for myself. Can u just tell me if it will freak out my parents
On a different yet unrelated topic, if this ride didn't replace the former Torre Del Ma starflyer then why was that removed? I find removing my favorite type of flat ride to be unforgivable, especially one that offered great views of the Baltic Sea.
I think there's two reasons - another flat ride is adjacent to Kärnan, a variation of a Gerstlauer High Roller named Kärnapulten. And you can get the great view of the Baltic Sea on their drop tower Highlander - it's really an awesome sight ;-)
Germany has so many good Coasters its hard to decide since many of them are really Unique just like you mentioned Kärnan, Taron, F.l.y... Taron holds my #2 Spot right after the Ride to Happiness. Nightrides on Taron are incredible when it runs the fastest and races trough the smoke, rocks and darkness of Klugheim. I can perfectly understand anyone who puts Kärnan or EGF over it tho :D comes all down to what you prefer
Btw, the correct pronounciation would be like saying "shoe" but with a "w" after the sh and an "a" pronounced like the "u" from "unfortunate" for "Schwur". The "des" is on point and for "Kärnan", you can just say "care-none". So it's "sh(w)oe(a) des care-none"
Spoiler How do they pull off the lift hill safely, because stuff like, ya know, going backwards on a lift hill, isn't supposed to be done. Definitely has to be a more elaborate system. Or maybe there is no safety system there (I believe there was a long stretch of straight track, so if the ride were to fail, it would just roll backwards onto straight track which can easily be equipped with systems to slow down a wayward train), and the safety systems to stop the train are before the lift hill... or is it even a lift hill at all? Not knowing anything about how the ride works, I operate under the assumption that the most likely way this works is with a "launched" lift hill, except that the "launch" is really slow and controlled quite well. Holding a train may or may not be difficult under these conditions, I'm not a physicist specialized in electromagnetism, but it would enable free flow of the car both forward and backward, and assuming that it is a "launch" there are certainly fine systems which exist which can control or mitigate an unplanned backwards movement under such circumstances.
The start of the lift has a really tight bend. I imagine the Gs would be through the roof if the train wasn't stopped. I don't know what Gerstlauer uses since it's all in the dark, but there has to be a failsafe.
The breaks are like droptower breaks so they are permanently on. If the chain were to snap, the train would just fall backwards into the breaks as it's supposed to do that anyway. Also because of that, after the train is slowed down it would then slowly roll back all the way to the bottom of the lift and level out which makes it easier to evacuate.
Man pretty much every video I’ve seen on this ride does have the part when the king yells at you. I only found one decent video that at least kinda shows the ghost part but there isn’t audio, just the misty images. Seems like this ride isn’t maintained as much as it should be
Ehhh the animation of kärnan is not from Apollo, he only showed my kärnan without giving credits to me ... you can see on my youtune channel that this is my simulation, it will be nice if you can fix this
This is only my 3rd favorite coaster just behind Helix and Wildfire (Kolmården). I absolutly love this coaster but the reason I have the other 2 coasters above it is because they are longer rides and I just find kärnan a little to short for my liking. I'm also a bit mixed on the restraints, because I love how open you feel but after that first drop they really tighten quite a bit. But overall a top tier coaster!
I think this coaster is a little overrated. Yes the tower, the heart element and the overbanked turn are pure madness, but the rest is pretty bland, except the airtime hill maybe... Nevertheless, it still sits in my top 5, but i have the feeling it will drop after i ride it again.
@@Hii250 Oh ok! But still I’ve ridden allot of coasters indifferent countries and this is still my favorite. But I will surely ride allot more in the future so I’ll see if it stays at the top.
I love when a park's creative team can combine excellent story, with excellent themeing, with an excellent coaster. Schwur des Kärnan looks exceptional, and I love how there's not another ride even remotely comparable to it.
I wish more parks went to the effort that Hansa Park does for their signature rides.

Do you like drop towers? It's less intense than many of those.

It is not intense. I hate drop towers because they usually only give be stomach wrenching feeling and nothing else. But this drop was ok for me.
Did you find Schwur des Kärnan to be rerideable in 2019 and in 2022?
The video of top coasters in Germany said:
I still love this coaster, but it became very difficult to reride now.
It was rougher in 2022.
This coaster is insane.
Sure is!
Schwur des Karnan looks incredible! I've never ridden any coaster in Germany, but my top two favourite coasters in England are Icon and The Smiler. I preferred Icon out of context, but know it's not as good as many Mack coasters. But when it comes to Gerstlauer: Unlike Icon is for Mack coasters, the Smiler is better than Gerstlauer's 6th best coaster. Having said that: It's not as good as Schwur des Karnan, which although I've never ridden I can tell is better than The Smiler.
Karnan is easily Gerstlauer's best work.
Is the single rider queue good?
In my past visits, there has not been a single rider queue. That would be great if they added one.
Did you find the ride shaky in 2019? And in 2022?
Yes, but more-so in 2022.
Definetely my favourite coaster in Germany!
btw, Kärnan is actually pronounced like Care-naan.
Thank you!
Care nun ^^

As someone from Helsingborg it seems rather odd that a German theme park decided to base a coaster on our old tower ^^

I find removing my favorite type of flat ride to be unforgivable, especially one that offered great views of the Baltic Sea.

@Zacheroni Taron is fun, but it can't match those coasters. Those two are top 5 steel coasters. Taron is closer to 50.
Germany has so many good Coasters its hard to decide since many of them are really Unique just like you mentioned Kärnan, Taron, F.l.y... Taron holds my #2 Spot right after the Ride to Happiness. Nightrides on Taron are incredible when it runs the fastest and races trough the smoke, rocks and darkness of Klugheim. I can perfectly understand anyone who puts Kärnan or EGF over it tho :D comes all down to what you prefer
If you could only go to one amusement park in germany which one would it be
Europe Park. Amazing theming, lots of dark rides, solid coasters.

Imagine if that was actually on untamed
Wow!
Btw, the correct pronounciation would be like saying "shoe" but with a "w" after the sh and an "a" pronounced like the "u" from "unfortunate" for "Schwur". The "des" is on point and for "Kärnan", you can just say "care-none".
So it's "sh(w)oe(a) des care-none"
Thank you! I'll try to remember that for future videos.

How do they pull off the lift hill safely, because stuff like, ya know, going backwards on a lift hill, isn't supposed to be done. Definitely has to be a more elaborate system. Or maybe there is no safety system there (I believe there was a long stretch of straight track, so if the ride were to fail, it would just roll backwards onto straight track which can easily be equipped with systems to slow down a wayward train), and the safety systems to stop the train are before the lift hill... or is it even a lift hill at all?
Not knowing anything about how the ride works, I operate under the assumption that the most likely way this works is with a "launched" lift hill, except that the "launch" is really slow and controlled quite well. Holding a train may or may not be difficult under these conditions, I'm not a physicist specialized in electromagnetism, but it would enable free flow of the car both forward and backward, and assuming that it is a "launch" there are certainly fine systems which exist which can control or mitigate an unplanned backwards movement under such circumstances.
The start of the lift has a really tight bend. I imagine the Gs would be through the roof if the train wasn't stopped. I don't know what Gerstlauer uses since it's all in the dark, but there has to be a failsafe.
The breaks are like droptower breaks so they are permanently on. If the chain were to snap, the train would just fall backwards into the breaks as it's supposed to do that anyway. Also because of that, after the train is slowed down it would then slowly roll back all the way to the bottom of the lift and level out which makes it easier to evacuate.
@@Hii250 Thank you!
Been on it
Hope you liked it!
Man pretty much every video I’ve seen on this ride does have the part when the king yells at you. I only found one decent video that at least kinda shows the ghost part but there isn’t audio, just the misty images. Seems like this ride isn’t maintained as much as it should be
There aren't many videos of this ride since they have a strict no loose article policy
Do hot sauce packets go in the lockers too?
Lol of course.
Ehhh the animation of kärnan is not from Apollo, he only showed my kärnan without giving credits to me ... you can see on my youtune channel that this is my simulation, it will be nice if you can fix this
Sorry about that, I didn't realize that is what happened. I will update the credits. Thanks for letting me know!
@@CanobieCoaster thanks
I love how weird the layout is
This whole ride is weird.
This is only my 3rd favorite coaster just behind Helix and Wildfire (Kolmården). I absolutly love this coaster but the reason I have the other 2 coasters above it is because they are longer rides and I just find kärnan a little to short for my liking. I'm also a bit mixed on the restraints, because I love how open you feel but after that first drop they really tighten quite a bit. But overall a top tier coaster!
I agree the restraints get tight, but they don't inhibit the airtime or hangtime for me since you're upper body is so free.
The last airtime hill and final surprise can really hurt with the restraints if they came down during the ride
The Shortest Karen!
Lol
I think this coaster is a little overrated. Yes the tower, the heart element and the overbanked turn are pure madness, but the rest is pretty bland, except the airtime hill maybe...
Nevertheless, it still sits in my top 5, but i have the feeling it will drop after i ride it again.
The only bland element to me is the transition between the camelback and final bunny hill since the ride starts losing its speed.
For me, the outdoor section was great fun, but yes, a little overrated. Personally, all my favorite parts were everything that happens indoors.
I think it’s actually underrated but everyone has his opinions.
@@KFAARON It's overrated in germany but underrated everywhere else. :)
@@Hii250 Oh ok! But still I’ve ridden allot of coasters indifferent countries and this is still my favorite. But I will surely ride allot more in the future so I’ll see if it stays at the top.
kARNAN HAS the best themING
One of the best themed thrill coasters.
Wer kennt ihn nicht? Den Schlong von Mitgard...
Sorry I tried translating this and am confused what you are asking.
Oh im sorry in german it sounds like: The D*ck of Mitgard...😅
