Hi guys. Atlantica SuperSplash is one of Europa's 13 coasters according to RCDB. However, I'll admit that I'm a little unsure. I will most probably count it if I ride it at Europa in April, as I usually keep RCDB as somewhat of a bible to refer to for what is and isn't a coaster, but I'll admit that I'm undecided. On one hand, I definitely see RCDB's classification; it coasts upwards outside of the drop, it has coaster-style hardware, and it also has a uniquely coaster-style element in the form of the airtime hill. On the other hand, though... I don't think it looks the most coaster-y, and what really differentiates it from a regular shoot-the-chutes?
Because of the overwhelming evidence for it being a cred (RCDB counts it, and there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of pushback against that classification), I'll almost definitely count it, but I'll admit I am second guessing its cred credentials (cred-entials?) slightly, as it doesn't look the most coaster-y, I'll admit. But I guess it does coast upwards in an element that isn't the drop, it does have an airtime hill, and it does have coaster-style track.
So I'd be intrigued to know; what's your opinion? Is Atlantica a coaster credit, in your view?
