It was definitely underwhelming. The best part was going up the elevator lift...lol. The splash was crappy as well. Didn't even get a splash of water on me when I rode it as Pilgrim's Plunge. You didn't miss much.
I think ur missing the point😂 it's a water coaster dude. Ur not gonna be getting some I 305 forces. It's there to intimidate people. And provide a unique experience.
The ride is actually better in the 3rd row. Not because it's more intense, but because it's where you get absolutely drenched. There is an articualtion between the 2nd and 3rd rows that lets water spray upwards during both splashes.
I feel the Flying Dutchman at Efteling in the Netherlands has the concept of a water coaster down to a T. It combines a full dark dark ride section, and then when the story kicks off it takes you up on a decently fast lift hill, which drops you in the coaster section, that then ends in the final splashdown. Doesn't get you THAT wet, but hey you're in the Netherlands so that's a good thing 9/10 times in the year.
The “coaster” part of De Vliegende Hollander is extremely dull, kinda rough, pointless and underwhelming. The final splash doesn’t even feel like a splash, you hardly ever get more then 3 drops of water on you. They could’ve done a better job actually ...
I am quite suprised by this review as I rode speed this summer and found it to be very enjoyable. Smoothest water coaster I've ever ridden, great second splash. To be fair there are not the greatest forces on it but it still was one of my fav rides at Energylandia
I was actually kinda surprised by speed at Energylandia. I thought the drop would be very lame but you did built up some good speed and in the first water valley my hair got actually pretty wet. And the curves did give some g-forces
Hello! Italian coaster enthusiast whose current home park is Mirabilandia here! I think I might shed a little bit of light on why the gp loves this ride. Mirabilandia is a relatively small park located in one of the hottest and most humid locations possibile in all of Italy. During the summer months, going to Mirabilandia is basically making a trip to hell and back; this year I went there in late July a couple times and both days the temperature peaked at 40° Celsius (which is 104° in Farhenheit) in the afternoon. In such a hot place water- based rides are necessary if you don't want to pass out due to heat stroke or you just need to cool off a bit. However, if you look specifically at water rides, Mirabilandia has plenty of small water rides that are kid friendly, like a mini log flume or water shooting based rides, but not so many for teens and adults. We only basically have Divertical, the weird carwash themed log flume and a river rapid ride; this means that during the hottest hours of the day most people rush to these three rides (and iSpeed, which has a shitty capacity so the line is around 2h long every time) to avoid getting cooked by the hot Mediterranean sun, resulting in the lines being packed. Divertical is pretty popular among teens also because it is seen as one of the "tougher" rides in the park, with the added bonus of it being a water ride, perfect for cooling of a little bit in the summer. Also lots of kids and teens flock in during the summer because Mirabilandia is close to one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy, Rimini, and it's very easy to get to Mirabilandia from there. Personally I don't care about this ride that much, I would rather marathon Katun over and over. It is fun, and the elevator lift is pretty cool, but the line for this gets absolutely ridicoulous and it is not that thrilling. However I understand the appeal and it serves an important role in the park, so I'm glad we have this in Mirabilandia! Plus it's elevator lift is certainly a quirky and very recognizable symbol of the park :) Thanks a lot for putting Italian parks on the map for the world to see, and keep up the good work, you are one of the best coaster content creators out there for sure! Hope you'll be back in Europe soon 😊
Being this my home park, i understand fully your opinion. I'm still waiting for the katun review, which is, in my opinion, the best ride in the park, by a long shot. :)
I like to think of this as a slide rather than a roller coaster, because it rides more like a slide than a roller coaster. If you picture it like that, it suddenly becomes a little more fun!
Taylor, so awesome how you have all of this footage saved up for a year such as this when you couldn't get as much footage as a "normal" year. Well done!
Btw the reason why the first drop is 45 degrees it's because some drunk engineer at intamin didn't put upstop wheels on the ride so during the bigger drop they cant go to steep or the thing would tip over.
The thing I find weird about this ride is there's no theming. A water coaster - specifically a European water coaster - with no theming just looks weird to me.
Mirabilandia in general has no relevant theming... it's one of the two big parks here in Italy, but not for the theming. If you're looking for the theming, then Gardaland is the boss here...followed by Movieland, Cinecittà World, Magicland and Etnaland
I've been on Speed at Energylandia and i felt exactly the same as you. It looks massive and everything but the ride experience is kinda boring. I also thought it was kinda shaky. The splash at the end is nice because you really get soaked. It also had a longer line than zadra😂
Hi Taylor, Mirabilandia is my home park here in Italy. I'm jus gonna say this: Divertical is a waste of space and money that could have been used for something more thrilling or a better themed area.
I did typhoon coaster. Has a different layout and is smaller. The forces are meh but its just fun. Id argue that has a better layout because it has a fairly tight helix which does provide some amount of force
Well, watching the Expedition Theme Park video about Pilgrim’s Plunge, the problem is (and Taylor brings this up) it’s so tall that it’s gonna intimidate a lot of younger kids, but it’s not gonna do much for anyone else. It’s not sure if it wants to be a high thrill ride or a family ride, and it ultimately accomplishes nothing.
Also it just seems very empty in that whole area of the park. There aren't any trees anywhere in sight near that ride, and also there is not backdrop behind the ride (hills or trees or anything). It almost looks like it was built on a flatworld in Minecraft
As an italian Coaster Enthusiast, I totally agree with you. I rode this last year, and man, it was so disappointing. The drop is insignificant, the only thing you feel is the wind blowing on your face (if you're in the front row). The "airtime hill" is more of a "we go a bit up, and then a bit down", no forces at all. The mid-breaks kill the speed, and then it's just some turns before the last splash. Too boring for a thrillseeker, and too "intense" for kids/families... and if you also think this is built by Intamin, it gets even more disappointing. Just a steeper drop would have made it a decent ride!
Great point with the loose articles! That's why sometimes even if I have pockets I choose to just buy a locker anyway at any park. Definitely enjoy the ride less if I'm worried about my phone, wallet, or keys moving in my pockets vs. not having them at all and feeling free to put my hands up and enjoy the forces!
I dont think this should be rated as a coaster at all. To me it's just a more extreme log flume, and if you look at it like that it's pretty good in what it's supposed to be. I reckon you placed your expectations too high by thinking it was going to be a real coaster, while in reality it hardly is. That's just my thoughts on the ride though, I know it's officially classified as a Rollercoaster, so I can fully understand why you would expect more than what you got.
Mfw Taylor actually takes your request at heart 😍 Anyways, I'm also not a fan of this ride at all, but not for the reasons you'd expect. The ride experience imo, even though it's not thrilling in the slightest, especially for its height, is actually barely passable, albeit very short. My biggest gripe with Divertical is the frankly DISGUSTING amount of space this ride takes up all by itself, (it takes up significantly more space than iSpeed, which is a decently longer ride) especially considering how short and mediocre it is, and also the abysmal reliability issues it has. I know you haven't personally seen this ride go down, but I can assure you that there's a good chance that at some point while you were snooping around the rest of the park, Divertical would've gone down at least once. But believe me, it used to be so much worse. In 2014 the ride was down for almost the whole season because a car overshot the MCBR during an E-stop and stalled on a turn. Apparently some fine specimen over at Intamin forgot that drive tyres aren't a very good way to stop a car that's just been in contact with w a t e r. I guess that's why their newer water coasters don't feature drive tyre MCBRs. And you wanna know the most infuriating thing about this entire situation? You'd think that after such an abominable experience with a faulty prototype, Mirabilandia would've learned their lesson and maybe follow it up with something less risky and more on the safe side, right...? RIGHT...?! Welp, turns out Desmo Race (the new Spike Coaster) has been an even bigger dumpster fire trainwreck than Divertical, being out of order for TWO SEASONS STRAIGHT, only recently beginning to operate semi-consistently, and with an even shorter and (reportedly) even more mediocre ride experience. Seriously, whoever picks out Mirabilandia's new ride models needs to be fired into the sun.
Yeah, I totally agree. Mirabilandia is not my home park and I haven't been there in a while, but I remember it being extremely boring. If you want a great water coaster go ride Fuga da Atlantide at Gardaland!
Isn’t speed and divertical the same height I’ve heard so many people say divertical is taller and people even say it’s over 200ft or 61m But I thinks that’s a lie and isn’t true
Interesting. In my opinion DiVertical is just about plain speed. It feels like it does not even lose any potential energy till the end. It even has airtime on the hill! I seriously don't know what went wrong with the ride on your visit, as I remember it as a surprisingly fast, fun and wet water coaster.
I haven’t ridden Divertical, Cause it wasn’t there in 2011. But Speed at Energylandia is pretty the same, and I enjoyed Speed. It is not a thrilling ride, it is kind of a family friendly ride where you get soaked. And it is actually themed..little, some rocks and pirate building. Not just plain field with a lake.
Sometimes you gotta appreciate a nice meandering roller coaster. For instance, cheetah hunt goes quite slow and has little g forces but is so much fun. Appreciate the meanderingness of the ride
I think the real problem is how people view it, if you expect a thrill ride you'll be disappointed cause this was never bent to be a thrill ride, it was always ment to be a family ride which would work great during the summer, the reason why they built it this huge was just to break the record. It's like being disappointed by Hagrid cause you expected it to be extreme after hearing it has the most launches in the world. (I'm not comparing this to Hagrid of course but i hope you got what i mean)
Can't agree with your review more. I rode the clone at Energylandia and the only thing that scared me is that I couldn't figure out how they keep this thing on the track on the lift and the first drop. There's no room for side friction wheels and upstop wheels..
I rode Speed at Energylandia and I had the same thoughts :-/ For example Poseidon at Europa Park is a lot more entertaining and fun with half the height available.
Steven Hall yeah if you’ve seen theme park reviews video on it when they hit the splash down the boat practically filled up with water and it almost flooded
While I agree that 45 degrees is too shallow (at least for a normal roller coaster) after visiting cedar point recently, personally I've found that 90 degrees doesn't always mean a drop is going to be incredible. I think iron rattles drop is MUCH better than steel vengences despite vengeance being the bigger and steeper ride. I've had better rides in New Texas giant even. I think steep, but not too steep is the way to go because when a drop is just too steep. Even if a ride is 200+ feet tall, it just feels too short to really even feel it. (With the exception of dive coasters).
I rode Speed at Energylandia and was disappointed as you were. It felt bland, and I didn't get wet at all (but some others did). There were many better rides at Energylandia!
This is actually kind of an unfair review. I don't get me wrong I'm not sticking up for it. But these rides like this are huge and you're up for whatever reason. They love these rights there. So it may not provide the same Thrills that somebody from the United States is looking for. But you also have to remember I specifically in Italy what they have to compare it against. Which is not a whole lot. Essentially the way Italy is, or at least with the array or lack thereof that they have to choose from when it comes to thrill rides and roller coasters. This would be like a theme park in the US building something like this in the 1960s. I'll even give it the 1970s. And if they built something like this in the 1970s. It would have been a huge draw in the us because we didn't have what we have today to compare it against. But even still like I said, for whatever reason, Europeans love these water coasters. It is not a great ride now. But in a way you are being a little unfair. Because the right isn't that bad. It is fun oh, it holds this place as being a Thrill Ride. Is it a big scary roller coaster know you're absolutely right. But family right is a little bit of a reverse Exaggeration anyway. It doesn't feel THAT slow on the coaster portion.
I haven’t been on this one (was closed when I visited the park..) but I have been on speed which is just slightly taller than this one. I did like it, but then I didn’t go in expecting a thrill ride. Just a water ride with a “bonus” coaster part. Cause I honestly have never been on a water coaster which was as thrilling as a normal one. So I thought it was pretty much as good as water rides get
i think that if i was not an enthusiast, this coaster was just fun. i mean, it's a family caoster. the elevator lift is great and it provides nice views. the rest of the ride doesn't do anything special or thrilling. then the real fun is the splah at the and. however, lasti time i was at mirabilandia i rode it twice and never rode it again during the day. to bhe honest, El Dorado Falls, the shoot the chutes ride, is even a more wet ride than divertical, and it has a better capacity. so if it is extremely hot and i want to get soacked i go for El Dorado Falls. if i want extra fun, i could go for divertical. i mean it's an OK coaster, don't expect camazing g-forces or intense moments. its a water coaster...
Not to come across as thirsty, but can we just appreciate 5:50 for a second? 😂 love your vids btw, your content always gives us enthusiasts an escape from all of the crap going on in the world rn, so thanks ❤️🎢
I don't really understand water coasters. I absolutely LOVE a quality log flume and of course I love coasters. But a boring log flume doesn't need a coaster section to make it better. It needs either theming or impressive atmosphere/setting. Journey to Atlantis at SWSD is pointless. Journey to Atlantis at SWO is mostly a lof flume and it is a better ride because it uses the water ride sections and adds dark ride elements. What is the point of a ride like Divertical? I guess it looks cool but it doesn't want to actually accomplish anything. If it was committed to being a coaster and just added a tail splash like on Griffon or Diamondback then they could do a lot more with the ride. Or just have an intense coaster and end it with a splash down. Or they could commit to the water ride concept but add in one section with a steep drop followed by an airtime hill that ends in a splashdown. Then the coaster section would feel like an added bonus but they could theme the rest of the water ride sections to make them fun. But generally, water coasters just create half measures and never accomplish as much as a serious water ride or serious coaster.
"When it was built in 2012, Divertical was the tallest roller coaster in the world." YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S AT LEAST ONE WATER COASTER *TALLER* THAN THIS!?!?
Only one I did similar to this is Journey to Atlantis at SeaWorld San Diego and same thing I thought it wasn't the smoothest but I also knew nothing about it going in and I thought it was just okay
“That isn’t even a drop. That is a ramp.” 🤣
I wish giffica was still at Holiday World so I could experience something like this
It was very underwhelming. The drop was so shallow that i got a little bored going down it
It was definitely underwhelming. The best part was going up the elevator lift...lol. The splash was crappy as well. Didn't even get a splash of water on me when I rode it as Pilgrim's Plunge. You didn't miss much.
@@Onoitsbroko thanks and now I guess I did not miss much lol

The ride is actually better in the 3rd row. Not because it's more intense, but because it's where you get absolutely drenched. There is an articualtion between the 2nd and 3rd rows that lets water spray upwards during both splashes.
Son: Mom is this a family ride?
Mom: “well yes, but actually no.”
I feel the Flying Dutchman at Efteling in the Netherlands has the concept of a water coaster down to a T. It combines a full dark dark ride section, and then when the story kicks off it takes you up on a decently fast lift hill, which drops you in the coaster section, that then ends in the final splashdown. Doesn't get you THAT wet, but hey you're in the Netherlands so that's a good thing 9/10 times in the year.

Hello! Italian coaster enthusiast whose current home park is Mirabilandia here! I think I might shed a little bit of light on why the gp loves this ride.
Mirabilandia is a relatively small park located in one of the hottest and most humid locations possibile in all of Italy. During the summer months, going to Mirabilandia is basically making a trip to hell and back; this year I went there in late July a couple times and both days the temperature peaked at 40° Celsius (which is 104° in Farhenheit) in the afternoon.

Personally I don't care about this ride that much, I would rather marathon Katun over and over.

However I understand the appeal and it serves an important role in the park, so I'm glad we have this in Mirabilandia!

i like how ur giving rides lower scores now, it just gives a bigger perspective
Hi Taylor, Mirabilandia is my home park here in Italy. I'm jus gonna say this: Divertical is a waste of space and money that could have been used for something more thrilling or a better themed area.
How does it compare to the Mack Water Coasters?
Not as good in my opinion
I did typhoon coaster. Has a different layout and is smaller. The forces are meh but its just fun. Id argue that has a better layout because it has a fairly tight helix which does provide some amount of force
the number one gp quote when they see something like that: "WAIT, that's real?!?! aren't they jus going to fall off!?"
I mean not every coaster has to be thrilling. What’s wrong with a fun ride.

This channel has come so far lol
Divertical: Most bland, boring and just plain underwhelming ever ridden.

I think that Storm Coaster still brings more to the table than Divertical, at least the theming is far superior. Though Divertical is wetter overall.
I smell a Katun review soon 😎

4:48 it’s not cloned their all custom layouts
i think the reason that its 45 degrees is because it has no bottom wheels

I think steep, but not too steep is the way to go because when a drop is just too steep. Even if a ride is 200+ feet tall, it just feels too short to really even feel it. (With the exception of dive coasters).
I loved it because I haven't had to ride it yet.
Were there not lockers to put your camera equipment in?
I rode Speed at Energylandia and was disappointed as you were. It felt bland, and I didn't get wet at all (but some others did).
There were many better rides at Energylandia!
Maybe the park had the water level too high on the first drop which slowed down the rest of the ride.
Whatever happened to the Pilgrim's Plunge tower? Did it go back to Intamin and get repurposed as one of these?
I can say that the one at energy landia is no different. exception is the last hill (and the first) gives decent air. probably just because it's new.
Dude, it’s a water coaster. It’s not meant to be the most thrilling. It’s meant to get you wet, and that’s exactly what it does
This is actually kind of an unfair review. I don't get me wrong I'm not sticking up for it. But these rides like this are huge and you're up for whatever reason. They love these rights there. So it may not provide the same Thrills that somebody from the United States is looking for. But you also have to remember I specifically in Italy what they have to compare it against. Which is not a whole lot. Essentially the way Italy is, or at least with the array or lack thereof that they have to choose from when it comes to thrill rides and roller coasters. This would be like a theme park in the US building something like this in the 1960s. I'll even give it the 1970s. And if they built something like this in the 1970s. It would have been a huge draw in the us because we didn't have what we have today to compare it against. But even still like I said, for whatever reason, Europeans love these water coasters. It is not a great ride now. But in a way you are being a little unfair. Because the right isn't that bad. It is fun oh, it holds this place as being a Thrill Ride. Is it a big scary roller coaster know you're absolutely right. But family right is a little bit of a reverse Exaggeration anyway. It doesn't feel THAT slow on the coaster portion.
I haven’t been on this one (was closed when I visited the park..) but I have been on speed which is just slightly taller than this one.
I did like it, but then I didn’t go in expecting a thrill ride. Just a water ride with a “bonus” coaster part. Cause I honestly have never been on a water coaster which was as thrilling as a normal one. So I thought it was pretty much as good as water rides get
What's the exit plan if it stops on the way up?
100% agree with you!
Wait, are you in Italy now?
Are you going to do a Katun review?
Love this video, can you please do a behemoth review at wonderland
Why that water look green. But the ride looks cool.
A water, roller coaster with having an identity crisis, that’s so my life! Lol 😉
Interesting ride, looks boring but probably a solid family coaster 😁
Intimin built a water ride!? That would obvielsy be my favorite water ride!
Are we going to get Katun review?
i think that if i was not an enthusiast, this coaster was just fun. i mean, it's a family caoster. the elevator lift is great and it provides nice views. the rest of the ride doesn't do anything special or thrilling. then the real fun is the splah at the and. however, lasti time i was at mirabilandia i rode it twice and never rode it again during the day. to bhe honest, El Dorado Falls, the shoot the chutes ride, is even a more wet ride than divertical, and it has a better capacity. so if it is extremely hot and i want to get soacked i go for El Dorado Falls. if i want extra fun, i could go for divertical. i mean it's an OK coaster, don't expect camazing g-forces or intense moments. its a water coaster...
“That’s not a drop, that’s a ramp”
Silver bullet (Knott’s) has left the chat
For me personally that ramp packs a punch (it’s my limit of tolerance lol)
Wait, this exists?
@coasterstudios can you do an analysis of Iron Gwazi since its pov got released?
Not to come across as thirsty, but can we just appreciate 5:50 for a second? 😂 love your vids btw, your content always gives us enthusiasts an escape from all of the crap going on in the world rn, so thanks ❤️🎢
when a katun review?
Will you go back to Mirabilandia next time you go to Europe?
No
Makes sense. Can’t wait till you get to Energylandia though!
Only saw the first 40 seconds and I already completely agree 😂
You should become a roller coaster consultant
I don't really understand water coasters. I absolutely LOVE a quality log flume and of course I love coasters. But a boring log flume doesn't need a coaster section to make it better. It needs either theming or impressive atmosphere/setting. Journey to Atlantis at SWSD is pointless. Journey to Atlantis at SWO is mostly a lof flume and it is a better ride because it uses the water ride sections and adds dark ride elements.
What is the point of a ride like Divertical? I guess it looks cool but it doesn't want to actually accomplish anything. If it was committed to being a coaster and just added a tail splash like on Griffon or Diamondback then they could do a lot more with the ride. Or just have an intense coaster and end it with a splash down. Or they could commit to the water ride concept but add in one section with a steep drop followed by an airtime hill that ends in a splashdown. Then the coaster section would feel like an added bonus but they could theme the rest of the water ride sections to make them fun. But generally, water coasters just create half measures and never accomplish as much as a serious water ride or serious coaster.
"When it was built in 2012, Divertical was the tallest roller coaster in the world." YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S AT LEAST ONE WATER COASTER *TALLER* THAN THIS!?!?
Only one I did similar to this is Journey to Atlantis at SeaWorld San Diego and same thing I thought it wasn't the smoothest but I also knew nothing about it going in and I thought it was just okay
Can you review Atlantis ride San Antonio seaworld
When the drop has an evacuation ladder, it can’t be that steep
What is your opinion on iron gwazi from the pov
Does this ride give you a headache?
No
Don’t underestimate this thing , I couldn’t breathe for 20 minutes after lol
"Its actually kind of stupid" - Taylor
I feel like Balder has a better identity than Divertical tbh :)
I've been on typhoon coaster and that felt rough and boring as well
I think they can‘t get too crazy with negative Gs, because there‘s no up-stop-wheeling. Otherwise it would fly off the track 🤓
Day 11 of asking for a Lil Phantom review
hey it’s friday the 13th 😈
