I agree that the lift hill, top section (those views!) and the soundtrack are great, but the ride itself tracks awful I'm afraid. I'm glad to have ridden it once back in May, though, but once was enough.

I’m on the fence whether we will ride it on our visit next May.

Obviously the enthusiast in me wants to try it once, especially as it’s closing.

I appreciate tales of roughness are both subjective and somewhat overplayed in a community like this but the reports are so overwhelmingly negative I’m concerned about an injury spoiling our trip.

Are there any other comparable coasters?

I’d say Euro-Mir is more of a leg basher than a head basher. The ride has lap bars, so you won’t be bashing your head from side to side in the same way as on, say, Saw.

With that said, I did find it absolutely vile and liked it less than Saw (of the 137 coasters I’ve ridden, it’s not in my top 100, and I easily found it Europa’s weakest coaster), but I think enough people like it that I would still give it a go in your position. Euro-Mir is polarising rather than universally hated, I feel.
 
Yeah I'd say it's definitely worth doing once for the soundtrack, rave spiral and views from the top. Just brace yourself as much as you can and bear in mind that your bags must ride with you.
 
Mir is not going to cause injuries, it's not the Ultimate. The profiling on the first drop is pretty poor which results in a bit of shaking at the bottom but as it's got lap bars it doesn't really matter.

Really you should be riding it as many times as it takes to be facing backwards on the 2nd half. I'm always disappointed if I get it the "wrong" way for my final ride of it on any EP trip

I think it’s a bad ride but you should ride it, its not going to cause injury.

Wouldnt even say it was rough on my ride this year. Just... mediocre.

Even going backwards at the end resulted in nothing. And that's usually a banker.

It'll do no major damage.
