I hope it's a mini dive machine. The experience is the same, and the capacity is nearly identical too (Krake is a real crowd eater at Heide Park). And with the smaller trains they can incorporate more elements, as well as it'll be cheaper to dig a hole (looking at the advert, I'm hoping for it being similar to oblivionspicy said:

Some friends visited the Clermont Steel Fabrication Plant today. Although it was busy so they didn't get photos of the labels there is now some white track outside the plant (Yellow is for the Chinese flyer)

So Gardaland, Efteling or Carowinds? Take your bets now.

Those pieces look very tightly curved, makes me think it's not for Carowinds.
For some reason I see Efteling build a white coaster more than Gardaland, but I have no idea why I think so.
I wonder if Gipponi will manufacture any of the european coasters, if I remember correctly they have made track and columns for some of the modern dive machines.

White track? That's obviously for the next Heide Park coaster :wink:

Merlin? Building a white coaster voluntarily? Following Saw, Krake, Th13teen, Raptor, Swarm and Smiler, part of me was convinced Merlin would be building coasters in the same monotonous black suit for eternity, if they could help it. But unless some unheard of park in China has suddenly purchased a B&M, this seems far more likely to go to Gardaland than anywhere else.
Merlin did a wonderful job with Raptor and I really hope they can repeat it, but my sole issue with their management of Gardaland is their lack of new additions in recent years between coaster, which can be said to be also the case for almost all their parks. They seem too dependent on building new coasters to attract guests, and consequently, GL has only a Top Spin for a properly thrilling flat this year with the temporary closure of Space Vertigo and the odd removal of their Huss Condor. The same could be said for AT. Gardaland is in dire need of a screaming swing or a pendulum to take the queues away from rides like Sequoia Adventure, plus they have the attendance to afford it. And of course, Italy needs a woodie :--D
That said, Gardaland does has everything a good park needs save the bigger rides...

The key word here being voluntarily. Heide Park's coaster is apparently white because of planning restrictions on that part of the park, not because Merlin decided "hey, let's build a white coaster for a change!". It was either make the track white, or don't build the coaster at all.Ethan said:

I'm pretty sure I read that Sequoia Adventure is being removed.
But yeah, agreed on all points.
Gardaland has already had quite a long time getting the land ready for the new coaster, they could be looking to go vertical late summer/early winter which could really mean this track is heading their way.

A white Merlin coaster, WITH an intimidating logo. I'm think I'm going to faint.

By the looks of the track I think it can be confirmed that it is one of the mini Dive coasters, although most probably knew it was going to be anyway. Krake looks like an awesome ride, hope this does too, although I hope there is a little variation between the coasters, not just a clone, although I think that wouldn't be the case.
