Now your guests will lose ground with all the comfort and advantages of our classic powered coaster. Get a great ride as our suspended powered coaster comes as a long, non swinging train which you can even make spin. This allows you to get a great system for a dark ride coaster hybrid. Great for flying through turns!

it won't swing, surely...
Must be a typo, there is a diagram that shows a train capable of swinging in both lateral and longitudinal directions.

I am suprised that no one has bought one of these yet, they have been on the website for years.
 
Probably just a typo, there are both swinging and rotating trains available.

Most parks won't take the risk with a prototype, especially for an unproven concept like this.
 
^This is what I was thinking, especially as Mack use Europa to showcase most of their products. Potential customers must question why they haven't built one of these in their own park yet. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that that's probably been quite a large deciding factor in getting this ride built at Europa.
 
Maybe this should be moved to construction now?

Not entirely sure what he's on about but it sure sounds goony.
 
Wow, we haven't been keeping on top of this one have we? So looks like most of the track is in place. A couple of small rides are also planned for the area and are already being installed and there's plenty of pics of construction blueprints etc, all very goony.

They've actually been posting lots of those videos as well. Sooo......

I didn't realise just how close this park was to their neighbours, they must love the park if they're ok with this new area being built right next door!

Is this a new fad?

Yeah, sorry for the mass of pictures but I think they sum up the current state of construction. I get the feeling this new area is going to be amazing when complete. *goes to watch the films to understand the theming*

All pics taken from the AmeWorld.net forums
 
I love concept art. Although do I reckon it'll end up like that? Hmm, probably.
 
The first test runs of Arthur have been successfully completed.

Roland and Michael Mack happy after the first successful test ride.

The big question is… why has he got his hand on her vagina? Call Operation Yewtree.

This looks so cute. Everything about it is 'cute'.
 
Testvideo.

The spinning looks to be working really well with the surroundings, I love that sweep over the water!

This just got a lot more exiting!

Still hoping for a full scale inverted thrill coaster from Mack in the near future.
