Watt's the problem with it?I reckon they'd get a lot of resistance on that name.

Documents submitted to the municipality confirms there’s going to be a replica of the Wardenclyffe Tower built into the ride’s layout, solidifying the Nikola Tesla theme.

Wow; that’ll be an impressive theming piece!
On a side note, this will be in a very nice location within Europa if it’s located where I think it is (somewhere between Russia and Greece?). When I’m walking between Wodan and Silver Star at the end of the day, this will fit almost perfectly in between those rides, which will make it a nice way to break up that walk!

I’m sure it’s been said before but Europa Park really needs this. I love the park but it needs something to elevate its coaster lineup from pretty good to really memorable - an interesting, unique coaster with multiple launches, outdoor-indoor transitions, track switches, a storyline etc will really help. It’s the nature of building prototypes in the home park but it feels Mack build all their best rides elsewhere - they’ve built some really epic coasters in recent years that it feels like Europa has been a bit left behind. Looking forward to seeing it (and the surrounding area) develop.

I forgot if this was already known information, but according to Looopings the permit mentions a height of 28 meters and 1600 meters of track.
They also confirmed (only half-jokingly) that the new Model is called Bigger Dipper. Also noteworthy:
- the first anchor baskets were delivered and will be set up in the aforementioned lake
- no chain lift (only launches)
- While Blue Fire has 96 stators, Voltron will have about 300 stators

Did someone count the stators on Hagrid's? 
More than 8Did someone count the stators on Hagrid's?
I heard a rumour during construction that it had less than one trillion, which would roughly align with what you're saying as that's more than 8.More than 8

They heavily hinted at 3 launches for the ride when talking about the stators, which fits in with what we know.

Wasn't this coaster only meant to have the launched vertical/inverting lift hill then the swing launch mid-ride? 300 stators seems like a lot in comparison to BF considering this will be a slower coaster.

Surely it's rumoured to have 4? A (possibly vertical) launch at the start, followed by a swing launch under the tower?

I have no idea to be honest, I haven’t looked at the layout close enough. The reason I say it is because they were very “wink wink nudge nudge” when they emphasised the whole “three times the amount of blue fire”

Work has finally begun clearing the former staff car park by the roundabout at the other end of the coaster layout. This will be home to the maintenance building, Wardenclyffe Tower, turntable and swing launch - as seen in the concept art of this area released recently.
The massive station building/complex continues to grow.
