Hulk 1.0 was such a rough coaster, the reprofiling of this makes me happy. I wonder what theme it will have?

It’s not an ampersand tbh, it’s too short. It’s more like Apollo’s Helix. Ampersands exit in the same direction as they enter, are much steeper/higher and less drawn out.

HTTYD is cool and all, but there’s already a few parks that have lands themed to it already. This seems like an ill planned move, or a “filler” area, rather than a big exciting new land. Don’t get me wrong, Universal will probably do it more justice than Merlin/Heide or that Emirates park ever...

So is it Pantheon or is it The New Pantheon? What a weird name for a coaster, like calling a launch coaster “Notre Dam” or “St Pauls Cathedral”.

Both Mack and Europa Park are missing a ‘proper’ inverted coaster from their line up. An inverted Blue fire-esk coaster would not only provide EP with a world class new coaster, but would be a great way to utilise Mack’s showcase park for a new product. Is it just wishful thinking? Maybe...

It’s what you get for trying to ride a “new” ride in the first few days of operation I’m afraid. It’s gunna have teething problems, and communication isn’t going to be as good because the staff are all learning the new procedures. Just be thankful it wasn’t the 600 minute wait that Hagrid had...

Quiet days and June are not something you’d see in the same sentence unless you added the words “there are no”. This kinda goes for any European park tbh, it’s the best weather, and all the school trips to parks generally happen on the weekdays in June.

Is there an actual news article/announcement for this?

I think it does have a lack of atmosphere, but that’s not because it doesn’t have theming, it’s because there arn’t any trees, there’s no greenery and the ride is placed next to a warehouse and a road. It just looks like an industrial estate. I hope they plant out the area underneath, at least...

Oh, my bad. But yeah that ain’t happening. It’s a dumb idea, and B&M would not invest money even thinking about it.

Eww. Firstly this is a family forum, secondly you just made yourself sound like a right virgin. Can we stop with this lying down idea already?? It’s dumb, uncomfortable and would just not happen. Flying coasters don’t spend much time in the prone position for that exact reason. Move on people!

But then you’re flipping a coin with Intamin water rides (how many of their recent instalations in the last 5/10 years have actually been successful?), and while Mack water coasters are “decent enough”, they’ve not ever really had good track work, or been actually exciting ‘rollercoasters’. B&M...

See the thing is, you’re playing with a LOT of speed with a giga. Space runs out very very quickly, and even building short hills takes up a lot of space, because they have to be drawn out and longer, else you’ll just get pointless hops like the ones found on RMC, that have little to no force.

Haha, that's why I said "most". I do like the layout of the ride, it's clever and unique. The shaping is a bit questionable, but I can't fully judge it until riding/seeing a pov of the actual end product. I do have to say that I'm glad it has lapbars, because they'll help negate any unplanned...

I take it that you work for an American auto maker? That kinda proves my point then, doesn't it. ;) I can tell you that for most european automakers, aesthetics play a hugely important role. I've been going to the US since I was 2/3, I've seen enough of the freeways to work out what the average...
