Etnaland Theme Park | The Storm | Mack Megacoaster

[Coaster Hipster]

I'm very glad another manufacturer follows Intamin's airtime trend. It cannot be bad ! The layout seems to have a fair share of hills and twists

And this is why Mack is my favorite coaster company. <3

^ Cool story.

This coaster really does look great against the flume ride!

Just a bit of an update, not on Storm, but rather on the Mine Train Coaster.

As usual, taken from their Facebook.

EDIT.

There's also a Kiddie Coaster on the right of the image too.

 

[Ethan]

I actually really like the colours! I hope they theme it like in the concept art...

 

[Lofty]

^ Looking at the theming of everything else they've done, it's very possible.

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

Wow, that looks nothing like S&S.

^ The El locos track is almost te same as this, just look at Mumbo Jumbo.

Hmm, you have a point.

Still thinks that this also looks a bit like a Gerstlauer.

Some nice pictures i found on Coasterfriends.de

The Mine Train will cost over 10 million euros with theming and will be 21 m tall and have a track length of 579 m.

SO glad to see a new layout for a "Mine Train Coaster". I'm looking forward to seeing progress to be honest.

The Storm is now complete, I think it is crazy that they have a coaster that will open in 2013 but is actually ready for the second half of this season.

Lets hope we get some testing footage of this Mack Megacoaster soon.

^ That support doesn't look very... attatched, to the footer. I must be looking at it wrong.

 

[the king]

It's meant to be like that. The groundworks crew place some special cast things and pour in concrete to fill up that space. Anyway, it should be interesting to see this begin testing. Though I wonder how the cars will look like. I do think MACK have made enough blue coasters. But that's my opinion.

 

[Lofty]

^ AS we've said, countless times. It's nothing to do with Mack about making their coasters certain colours, blame the parks.

I'm very excited to start seeing testing, BUT, the fact it only opens in 2013 makes me think that we're going to be waiting a HELL of a long time for this to be operational. I hope to start seeing more theming go up around this coaster.

 

[Jarrett]

I could see the cars being either orange or gray with storm cloud theming. I could see that looking pretty awesome...

 

[Josh73]

That colour scheme <3 I hope this turns our well.

Unlucky example, but wasn't Led Zeppelin finished a similar period before opening day at HRP?

 

[Martyn B]

Why is this so surprising? They're building a whole new park, not just this coaster!

Only just noticed this thanks to the above.

As Martyn said, they're building a whole park, not this coaster. The theming, station, queue line, promotional material & the ride itself not being signed off will all be facts as to why they're not opening it. SO in other words, it's NOT actually complete.
