And to get your expectations back to the ground again this picture. Footers painted like a middle school drama background and emptyness...

Heide Park is a bit lucky as the latest laws don't apply for them at the moment because the relevant numbers are not over the threshold in their government body. I think the region of every other German park except for Hansa-Park would be over that limit and thus the parks would not be allowed...

Yeah sure... both... Goldrush, Novgorod, Fury... Nice coasters. But that won't be the record. I doubt they'd do the fastest acceleration or the highest speed. Looking at kind of classic records Gerstlauer has we'd be with steepest drop or most inversions. It could be some stupid record...

Ride Entertainment reacted to a Facebook Post of rcdb.com that linked the record breaking coaster and the photo from page 1.

From all the pictures I'm seeing it feels like they're theming just little bits and pieces and not the whole area. I mean the water will definitely improve it but right now to me it just looks like a coaster sitting on an empty plot of land with a themed queue and station.

I like B&M inverters in the front. With those massive trains this is the only row that gives you good views. Not to say perfect views with absolutely nothing in front of you.

Vekoma opened their first STC (Suspended Thrill Coaster) last year with Hals über Kopf at Tripsdrill. But yeah... the inverted coaster market is saturated. Even Intamin didn't really manage to sell more than 3 suspended looping coasters aside of the impulse coasters.

It'd be stupid to design the ride in a way that it is likely to valley over water. You should not be able to force it to do that by adjusting the launch speed. (Nowadays) It's common practice to have the tallest element of a launched coaster right after the launch and thus if it is cleared the...

I'm pretty sure Europa Park won't open on 21st of march. Their website reads "closed until further notice". You're not up to date. And I'm not sure if we need this thread. I miss all parks.

Keep in mind that there are plans for a DK mine cart coaster thing. I won't judge the Mario Kart ride before I actually tried it but yeah... I would have loved to see a faster paced attraction for that franchise, as well. I understand why Nintendo partners up with another company with experience...

I don't know why but Energylandia built a SLC in 2015 and Sun World Danang Wonders built one in 2017. So Vekoma sells these things even over one decade after most enthusiasts decided they are only to be done once for the credit.

Can we talk about that sick coaster in the artwork? It looks rather intense. Can't wait to ride that!!!1!

It'd be cool if they were able to get rid of the over the shoulder restraints... But there are several limits to that and CS says the vehicles won't be changing.

Oh... first time I heard Iron Horse used for the I-Box track. There's no benefit in using Topper Track except for maybe naming the result a wooden coaster. (Which Energylandia did while they were using I-Box track)

Another possibility for Vekoma could be Phantasialand: they have a really good mine train with Colorado Adventure, a really long (but boring) indoor coaster with Space Center Temple of the Night Hawk Crazy Bats, a family boomerang with Raik and a next gen flying coaster with F.L.Y.

That thing at Fury (Bobbejaanland) Edit: I was looking for my own picture and lost the race.

I wish I could say anything against this as Europa Park just doesn't feature any really good Mack coaster. But due to the sheer amount of Mack coasters at Europa Park and because the other parks with really great Mack coasters at best have a second mediocre one... yeah it has to be Europa Park.

That can't be anything that uses power. If there is a sudden power loss during tilting LIMs as holding brakes would not be helpful. And the buffer stop is really only meant to be a backup.

I feel like ear protection would be an increased risk for riders, other crew members and yourself. If something happens you might miss a scream or a shout. So I'd assume that ear protection is just not allowed for ride ops.

I love how most of the new Vekoma standard layouts work with trenches. That's clever and completely acceptable as these coasters are not travelling coasters but are built to last and it's okay to adjust the landscape to the coaster layout.
