Sochi Park Adventureland | Quantum Leap | Vekoma GIB

[Jason Voorhees]

New coaster opening at that new Sochi Park, this time one that looks like fun! It's just like all the rest of the Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang's, but this is special because it will probably be bombed. :twisted:

Another new one. Each time one goes up I keep thinking it will be Déjà Vu from Six Flags Over Georgia since Mirabilandia doesn't seem to want to do anything with it.

^ Mirabilandia didn't get the permission to build the SFoG one. I've read that they are planning to erect it when the park is going to be moved to a new location. But has been said as 'next year' for the last few years, so I'm not quite sure that anything is happening down in Brazil... :?

Maybe it will show up in Rio for the Olympics in 2016.
That stupid coaster spited me three times at SFOG and I never did mange to ride it before it was removed

Sochi Park looks great, and this will be one of their best rides.

But its already finished.

^But it's not open yet.

It's deja vu all over again?

Yeah, a construction topic for this coaster didn't happen, it was merely merged into the Sochi Park topic (found in the link below). In case anybody wanted to see the construction.

That's without a doubt the best looking GIB out there!

WTF? The Olympics are in what? Two weeks? That other, yellow coaster isn't even close to done.

I'd read some very recent stories that there could be a LOT of problems with the Olympic venues this year, and yet others that read like propaganda...

Well the picture is obviously outdated.
The park is almost done.

Here are some more pictures, some fresher than others.

I find it interesting that this GIB got the evac platform on the cobra roll, but not the new one in China, nor the one at Silverwood.

While those are better, if that's the current status, they still have a lot of work to do.

Wow, the park looks awesome

Why do the vikings look like they're really sad?

 

[Lofty]

^ Maybe they're gay and realise they're living in Russia?

And, of course, being Vikings they've got the horn.
