And on even one more note - we rode Monstre, Black Mamba, and Katun earlier I'm the trip and LOVED them!

[Gaga.lefou@live.frI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

What was way more appalling than the ride, however, was the response and attitude of the French coaster enthisiasts from our review. Wow, they should be embarrassed due to their behaviour.

We are not embarrased, it's just we felt censure, you delete all comments that we posted...it's different.

And on even one more note - we rode Monstre, Black Mamba, and Katun earlier I'm the trip and LOVED them!

I rode 6 new Inverted B&M in 1 mounth and Oziris is my Top 2 of 11 inverted B&M i rode.

1- Katun, oldshcool, the best for me, intense and agressive
2- Oziris, totally different of another B&M, it's aerial, and there is a lot of airtime in the Backseat specially on the second drop before the perfect Zero G Roll,and before the Immelman in the trench. It is intense in the Front Row.Theming is incredible, the Tunnel, Waou, exellent ride ! Nothing to declare with the roughness.
3- Monster, oldschool like Katun, love the non-trim ride
4- Great Bear, Oldschool too, nice layout, but too short
5- Talon. Love the zero G over the Station, nice layout
6- Black Mamba, it's an experience, not a powerfull ride and i love it
7- Nemesis, too rough, in 3 visites, lot of Headache, ouch. The natural theming is impressive but don't like very much the ride
8- Alpengeist, what is going on with the weels ?? Is too slow and forceless
9- Batman The ride ( Madrid and Great Adventure ) , there is too much positive G and it's rought
10- Nemesis Inferno, like Batman with No G Force
11- Raptor, there is No G !! Like Alpengeist, and the middle brake ruin the final part

So, in France, Oziris is for me one of the best Inverted that i have rode, its not a very intense ride but the theming, multiples interactions with it, and lot of airtime it's something TOTALLY NEW for an inverted B&M and it is smooth as a baby's bottom !

Sorry for my bad English and thxs for reading, it's my point of view, let you do what you want with it...you and me are not god speaker about roller coaster, some people are different point of you, we don't hype the ride lile you said. It's just a different opinion

Welcome to the board, Gaga. I am the TPR Facebook moderator, along with Robb. If you had made this same post on our Facebook page, it would still be there. Why? Because you stated your opinion in a civil manner. You explained your reasoning very well and without attacking Robb's opinion. We have absolutely no problem with that and appreciate it.

So, why are many of your fellow enthusiasts being banned and having comments deleted from the Facebook page? Because they are being rude, obnoxious, and attacking Robb instead of being civil. We are just not going to put up with people making posts like this. It is not censorship as there are still several posts that remain on the page from people that disagree with Robb.

And yes, we have had to ban a couple of French enthusiasts from the forum for the same reasons as stated below.

Again, welcome to the site.

I had mixed experiences on Oz'Iris. The very first ride of the day was extremely smooth, and I was wondering what other people were complaining about when it came to rattle. Later in the day, when I rode again (I was in a different seat, and perhaps on a different train), it was really pretty rattle-y. I wonder whether one train had been recently re-wheeled or better maintained? It's not that Oz'Iris can't run smoothly, it's just that it doesn't always. Again, my first ride was fantastically smooth.

Aside from the first drop and the last inversion, though, I did think the ride was pretty dull. I love B&M inverts, and I really wanted to love this ride and was looking forward to it... but it did let me down.

I agree that the theming is great. I loved all the detail in the queue, on the castle, in the physical placement of the ride, etc --- it's going to be a popular ride for a long time. I feel like if they had built the ride after the drop slightly smaller (shave a few feet off the height of the inversions), the intensity would be earth-shattering, but that's probably not what the park was going for.

There are very few really rocking B&M inverts out there these days... the more compact, twisty-turny rides are delivering the experience a little better these days.

Rode Oziris a couple days ago for the first time. (had the VIP package so got several rides on it)
I quite liked it.
After reading reviews i was thinking it would ride like Silver Bullet at Knotts Berry but it certainly wasn't IMO
It wasnt as extreme on the inversions like many B&M inverts but i found it a great ride & didnt feel any excessive (& un B&M) roughness.

The VIP package was so worth it, besides the unlimited fast pass for several rides, the 3 course meals we had were delicious.

Just my opinion!

They were not banned for having a different opinion. They were banned because they were being obnoxious and rude.

It's not having a different opinion that causes problems, it's how you express that opinion.

[Bob!I'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

Well, Robb, I also had to disagree with you. When I rode Oziris late April, I found the ride pretty amazing and very smooth. I don't know what happened on your visit. I know that the ride had encountered several problems (process and trains), but I don't know if those problems really helped to give you such a bad opinion towards the ride. I didn't find it bumpy, I didn't have any headache or other problems, though I rode it 5 times in a row. Your opinion on the ride is pretty weird indeed, compared to others' opinions.

However, I must agree with you that the ride is forceless. I was also disappointed by the lack of positive G forces throughout the whole ride. But it also has some nice negative G forces (the drop before the Zero-G-roll, the segment between the loop and the immelman, the first drop ridden in the back rows), so I enjoyed it a lot.

How was TDZ running this go around? Rough? Smooth? At the very least fast?

[Hilltopper39Don't make me kick you in the donkey!]

I'm not surprised by the poor reviews of Oziris, they are consistent with most every other recent B&M invert installation. At least it does have a fairly unique layout and I'm sure, like most every other criticized new coaster in the world, the GP will love it. Only us nerds will pick it apart.

They seemed to have fixed the end brake which was alot smoother. Previously i had witnessed a girl get a blood nose from hitting her head on the train during that brake.
