One thing is for sure, those ATV's are gonna look horrible when they start to get some wear & tear.

I still think this might be one of the coolest train designs out there.

I really can't stress enough how tacky and cheap those trains look <//3

Interesting...

I look forward to riding this in May to see if these Tyre launches are any decent...

Re: Djurs Sommerland | Unknown name | Intamin (launch?) Coas

^They're not.

They're basically a way of getting the train up to speed to complete the circuit, without having any real kick to them at all.

Personally, I see them simply as a means of propulsion, rather than an actual feature of the ride experience like you get with LSM/LIM and hydraulic launches.

Looks like they will do some superb work on the themening. The level of the water coaster is fantastic, and it looks like this is going to beat that!

It's indeed gonna be interesting to see how the launches will be.

About the trains: I think that the reason they look that way is lack of decals. If I recall correctly the Cheetah Hunt trains looked pretty cheap too until they put stickers on them. I could see some mud splats put on there or maybe generic graphics of sorts.

^Or because, they look like they're made of thin acrylic in a few seconds?

The one at Aqua Stadium seems to have a decent kick, but then again, maybe it's because it's launching through a hairpin curve and partway into the vertical loop?

Re: Djurs Sommerland | Unknown name | Intamin (launch?) Coas

^ It's more to do with what follows the launch I think. There's literally no time between that and the loop. The launch itself is weak; that's what I was pretty much basing my last comment on.

This looks like such a fun little coaster!

This looks just fantastic. I can imagine how great it will be with all the themeing when completed.
And since yesterday a trip to Djurs is on the cards for June this year
