Although there are different ways of translating "impresionante", when it is something successful like this, the three adjectives just used ("amazing, spectacular, incredible") are certainly appropriate:

Oxford

impresionante adj ‹ éxito › amazing, incredible; ‹ accidente › horrific; había una vista impresionante desde el hotel there was a spectacular o an amazing view from the
hotel; había una cantidad impresionante de gente there was an amazing o incredible number of people there; la caída del dólar fue impresionante the dollar’s fall was
dramatic
