I really wish they could have kept that last inversion!

I also kinda like it!

They sure do, but as I said it is not designed to be aggressive.

Those are nothing but guidance wheels to keep the load on the other two wheels. If you look at every Mack water coaster you can see that the track is banked/shaped everywhere to avoid putting stress on those wheels. It is simply not built to pursue any aggressive manoeuvring.

It's a water coaster, it could literally fly off the track/derail if it was too aggressive.

I refuse to believe that they would add a simple powered coaster... It's Djurs, they got to have a thing or two up their sleeve. Or maybe they will replace it with something similar to it's predecessor, the boat ride. In other words the focus of the ride will be much more about the coasters...

Ouch.

There is a plant in Italy who have done track work for them. Can't remember the name of it, but I believe they have manufactured some of the dive coaster track. But that must have been at least 10 years ago now.

Huracan is one of the worst coasters I've ridden in my life. It looks awesome but in some strange way it just beat the **** out of us. Good to see something happen to it.

Re: Atractiepark Slagharen to Build a New Coaster in 2017 It's actually pretty hard for a company to break into existing market that is new for the company, just ask anybody with experience in this field. I'm sure Skoda could build an equivalent to an Audi R8 with the same sex appeal, but that...

Re: Atractiepark Slagharen to Build a New Coaster in 2017 Always going by the fact is always key. Enthusiasts have a strong tendency to throw out whatever they feel like as a given fact and then feel insanely offended when questioned. Let's remember the original argument, shall we. The...

Re: Atractiepark Slagharen to Build a New Coaster in 2017 That is just stupid. Just really, really stupid. B&M are specialized in their own ride systems and it works very well for them. As I said earlier what keeps the price up is the way they build their rides. There is no magic here, other...

I've merged some posts to avoid derailing the other discussion. Unfortnuatley, they've now been sorted by post date, so Chris' original post has gone missing. I can't work out how to rearrange them at the moment, so for the time being here's the content of Chris' message: And now on to...

Re: Atractiepark Slagharen to Build a New Coaster in 2017 The main problem with the iSpeed clone is that it was planned to be built on ground that currently is not park area. We don't know anything about the process for this, it may be impossible for the park to get a permission to build such a...

17.5 million €, damn. That is mayor B&M money. Even 2 megalite's can be constructed with those resources!
