Jet Star 2 Review We're here at Lagoon. For today's review, we're going back in time to review Jet Star 2. This ride may not look like much, but trust me. It was WAY crazier than it looks. After we got in the trains and buckled the seatbelts, we were off. Seriously, this ride only had a seatbelt. Oh, and just a fun little fact. No single riders were allowed on this ride. And they don't make any exceptions. So if you had a group of three, you're all going to be sitting together. I hope you were riding with your boyfriend or girlfriend, because you were spooning on this ride. Anyways, we were spooning and off we went. We went around a turn and that turn turned into a spiral lifthill. So we were just turning and turning and turning as we rise into the sky. Watch us go round like a merry go round. Eventually, we stopped turning and had reached the top. We were staring down a drop. It didn't look that big. So this shouldn't be...BAM!!! We just FLEW down that drop. I know weren't not really going that fast, but it certainly felt like we're going much faster than we really were. And right at the bottom of that first drop was a turn. A tight turn. And we just SLAMMED through it. We got pinned to the side with some mean and agressive laterals. And I just LOVED that. We rose out of that tight turn and up an incline, losing some of our speed, but that's OK. It's already been a crazy ride. We went around a curve, going right around the spiral lift hill. It wasn't not an intense and mean curve like at the bottom of the first drop, but don't worry about that. There was plenty more insanity coming soon. We went around that turn and down a small drop. Yeah, it was small. Cliff jumpable. But it really helped us pick up speed. And yeah, we may not have been going that fast in real life, but it felt like we were FLYING. And then came the craziest part of the ride. The Helix of Death. And no, I do not mean Fake Helix of Death. I know that when I say true helix of death, I'm generally referring to the Body Toilet Bowl Slides like Bazooka Bowls. But this was just as insane. So gets the honor of being a true helix of death as well. And yeah. WOW!!!! THIS THING WAS INTENSE!!! It just PINNED you to the side and raised you up, and you just kept turning and turning. You were getting really close to your spooning buddies right now. Just close your eyes and wait for it all to perside. We eventually went through all that madness and rose up another hill. Yeah, that took away a lot of our speed. But Geez!!! That helix we just went through was just nuts. We then headed down this helix going around the spiral lifthill. Wave goodbye to all those poor suckers who have no idea what they're in for. This helix wasn't nearly as intense as the Helix of Death, but it still gave us a lot of laterals. We then headed around another banked turn. Just kept going. Kept going and going and going. And BAM!!! We hit the brake run. Take a deep breath. The insanity is now over. It's all over. HOLY SH*T!!! This ride may not have looked like anything special, but do NOT underestimate this ride. It kicked your ass!!! I know a running joke is that they called it Jet Star 2 because you take a #2 on the ride. And yeah. It was really crazy. Sadly, this ride is gone, and it was the 2nd to last of its kind in the world. Meaning that there is now only one Jet Star 2 clone left in the world. At some random park in Poland called Lunapark Robland (unless it closed there in the future, and this type of coaster is now completely gone). This park looks like just some crappy carnival with nothing of interest except a Jet Star 2. I didn't have much interest in this park (outside of credit whoring and enjoying Jet Star 2). But now that it's the only one left in the world, I suddenly want to try hit that park when I do whatever Europe trip that incorporates Poland. *Sigh* Unfortunately, Lunapark Robland is NOWHERE near Energylandia, Lechlandia, and all the standard tourist stuff I want to do in Poland, 7 hours away from all that, on the other side of Poland. *Sigh* So getting another ride on a clone of this is gonna be a real challenge. ='( 7/10 Location: Lagoon Opened at Riverfront Park in 1974 Relocated to Lagoon in 1976 Died on November 9, 2025 Built by: Schwarzkoph Last Ridden: June 4, 2017 Jet Star 2 Photos Home
