I was expecting a thrilling, fast launch coaster, but instead it was uncomfortable and painful (the only good bit being
the launch!)
Much preffer the 'normal' trains as they are nowhere NEAR as rough. Very ovverated imo - pathetic compared
to Stealth. Good preshow and theming though

Rough. Rough. Rough. <- Not only the feeling of this coaster, but the sound of a barking dog.
Launch is awesome, the
rest of the ride is painful and too short, although the bit over the lake is good, especially when sitting in the outer
left seats.

Ive only ridden furius baco from the front row but i can honestly say it is a fantastic ride, yes the theming during the
main part of the ride is pretty poor however the ride itself more than makes up for it, probably the best coaster in the
park, and that is no easy achievment.

This feels fast, very fast.
Front row, inside seats are a 10... Outside seats are unbearbly rough, looses big marks
for that IMO.

It is quick like you wouldn't believe.
Though, sit anywhere other than the front two rows and you're most certainly in
for a rough ride.

Queue line took forever on a pretty deserted day as they only had one train running and it kept breaking down.
Ride
itself - awesome on the inside seat, horrific on the outside seat. I had a really comfortable, smooth ride the first
time, the second time i didn't want to let go of the restraints lest one of my limbs fly off.

One of the BEST coasters I have ever ridden! I can't get enough of it... During the live, I rode it 9 times in a row
though on the last go, I were in the back seat and it ripped me to shreds and couldn't manage a 10th go... If this was
in England, I'd ride it all day long.

rough and no force, found the launch good but thats about it. The layout is boring and the coaster just offers nothing.

Lord only knows how some idiot could give this a 4....absolutely fantastic ride...great theming around the ride...love
the cartoons of crash test dummies around the queue...great seating position and pre show that sucks you in and then
whoosh!!! The fastest ride in Europe...so close to ground and water and the fastest inversion in the world which has the
strange effect of feeling so slow as it goes over...love the dip over the lake and the adrenaline shake is even better
than Nemesis...a perfect launch ride and puts Rita to shame..

RedRiots rating should be removed! Its blatently obvious that he hasn't rode it. He rates virtually everything in
England a 10 and anything out of England a low score along with a stupid comment saying its poor just 'cause it hasn't
got a top hat. Seriously..

Furius Baco is a brilliant coaster! It is simply one of the most intense experiences anyone could come across - the
layout is unpredictable being out of the way; you only see the launch when you're far through the queue, and thats where
you realise it launches down a drop; it contains the fastest inversion; the launch is a complete surprise; the trains
are floorless and on the outside etc. Firstly it is one of the most beutifully themed coasters at the park, and the
queue never gets boring as there is always something unusual to look at. The pre-show is incredible and intimidating as
you are waiting a good 20 seconds before it launcheswith no warning. The launch - although not as powerful as Stealth
feels far more intense. You are exposed a lot more, and the addition of no floor makes you feel your legs forcing
backwards towards the station and did I say your stomach too? The drop propels you out of your seat quite viscously
before banking into a high G turn. Its followed by a few more turns, incredible leg-chopper and an airtime hill before
going into the best heartline spin ever! You get unparalleled hang-time here its unbelieveble! You then sweep down the
lakeside drop and bank back into the station. Awesome! I've never been on a launch coaster like it, but with the likes
of Khan at PA I couldn't give it a 10, one thing is that I'm not the biggest fan of launches and its a bit rough. I have
to add on that it is one of the most picturesque Intamin coasters ever! RedRiot you don't know what you're on about!
Best launch coaster = 9/10

I'm going sunday to judge for myself and the only launch coasters I've been on is Rita, Revolution and SMM2 at
Disneyland (if that counts?). I know Stealth launch is more powerful but there is absolutely nothing to it! Baco
actually looks like an interesting ride as its all over the place and hardly visible. "Not got the scenery that Rita has
either" - Lol, anything has better scenery than Rita; I personally believe you haven't rid Baco yet?

This has got nothing on Stealth, and it was kinda disappointing really. Nowhere near as intense, no top hat... kinda
meh. Not got the scenery that Rita has either.

oh and the trains may be more open, but that'll give more of a floaty feel, i doubt it would be scarier. Probs great fun
tho.

No Stealth's launch is scarier. A launch coaster will be scarier due to acceleration for the most part. I mean 0-300mph
would be scary, but not if it was 0-300 in 300 seconds lol. This ride is 0-83mph in 3.5 secs, Stealth is 0-80mph in
1.9.. well 83/3.5= 23.9mph (furious baco accelerates 23.9mph every second) whereas stealth- 80/1.9= 42.1mph (stealth
accelerates 42.1mph every second). I think we can see which is scarier lol

Yes but is launch than scarier than the launch of Stealth?Stealth:0-129 km/u in 1.9 sec.Furius Baco:0-135 km/u in 3.5
sec.The launch of Stealth is much intenser but the trains of Furius Baco are more open and the people feel more the wind
and the speed.But which one is the scariest?

In Furius Baco there is a preshow and the the launch happens quickly and surprises all passangers because they're
looking at the preshow. In addition, the launch track is hidden from the people and most of them doesn't know that is an
accelerator coaster. Between the station and the preshow (launch) there are big doors, so people can't see nothing.
There are lots of differences between Furius Baco and other intamin accelerator coasters. The main fact of the trains,
but don't forget that is the first intamin accelerator with a drop after the launch, with a big airtime. It has also the
fastest in-line twist in the world.

Thorpe Park?

Launch is good, then its rough. Rougher than any rollercoaster i've EVER been on. The only redeeming fact is it has that
in-line twist. But its fun, even if it does abuse you.

I've been in Furius Baco and, for me, it's the most awsome roller coaster I've ever been. It's the perfect combinationn
o a very short but extremly intense coaster. It's true that in the outside seats the rought is harder, but is part of
the roller coaster experience.

This is a major letdown coaster. I rode it about 15 times and boy are the outside seats rough. At the front, on the
inside seats, 10/10,,,,anywhere else or on the outside seats, 5/10.
