A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.
Here are some important resources:

-
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

I visited in October last year (also from the UK) with a group of friends. I'd say its 100% worth the trip! Zadra (my current #1 coaster) and Hyperion are the 2 standout coasters. Abyssus is a excellent new-gen Vekoma multi-launch. Plus the park has a huge number of family and kiddy creds.
My main advice would be to pre-book your transport to the park well in advance. The park is located in Zator which is about halfway between Krakow and Katowice, but it is in the middle of nowhere. We stayed in Krakow and did 2 days at the park. The park runs a daily coach between Krakow and the park but by the time we came to book it, seats for our second day had run out. Zator does have a train station so we assumed we'd be able to get a train, but the staff at Krakow's main station weren't overly helpful and we ended up taking a taxi. (Fortunately Poland is pretty cheap so it wasn't too bad after we split the cost between us). We took the coach on the first day, and it was far easier so I'd highly recommend doing that. You can book on their website (https://energylandia.pl/en/dojazd/autobus/)
Happy to answer any other questions :)
I've personally never been but have talked to people who have and I always hear good things about it. They have Zadra which many say is one of the best RMC coasters in existence as well as Hyperion, an Intamin, that gets talked about a lot. They also have a couple of new Vekoma coasters (Abyssus and Formula) that I would love to ride and even one of the new Vekoma boomerangs.
