Hansa Park | Highlander | Funtime Gyro Drop Tower

That looks disgusting, but great at the same time. Decelerates a bit early for me but I moan about most things nowadays.

I am I have a real bug bear about drop towers stopping too early, only Scream @ Heide, Zumanjaro and the Fabbri towers do it right imo.

The one at Nigloland is pretty crazy, too.

I'm yet to get on that. They still give me the willies (not in that way @Lofty ) but I always make a point to have a go on any drop tower in a park. This one is massive though.

Is the one at Hype Park Winter Wonderland the same model as this, but shorter? If so, I actually found it kinda tame. Fabbri ones are so much worse <3 Annoyingly I was spited by Scream at Heide so I'm yet to ride it.

Testing with dummies now. Work on the station theming is still underway.

Hansa Park have invited guests to a first rides event on the evening of 26th April. However the park will not yet confirm when it publicly opens but its a reasonable guess that it will be the day after or soon after.

How indoor will the station be?

I used to think that Nessie's helices were very tight, but that image posted of Highlander smack dab in the center makes me take back that thought!

Park announced the ride will/should open to the public 26/04/19.

I'm torn with this one, I love Hansa park, But am Terrified of drop towers, if this was at another park id probably not do it, but as its Hansa I'll likely give it a go!

Last week I was in Sierksdorf, so I made a short cinematic offride.(sorry for my english skills)

 

[kai phillips]

Not sure about that lighting, hopefully they program it a little better

 

[Lofty]

You beat me to it - the lighting isn't really on brand with the Highlander theme? If they maybe kept it all green or something, sure? But otherwise it's just not 'right'.

Hansa Park have confirmed that Highlander will open to the public on 27th April; following the invited guests opening event on 26th.

we can only hope that's just the default package and they just haven't changed it yet

 

[CrashCoaster]

I think the lights would look cool as a mixture of green and blue. That would be splendid and fit the theme.

POV!

 

[CrashCoaster]

Looks small.

On another note, the lights seem to be all blue now:-

I am a little disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a station building of any kind, but I guess it isn't really needed. I expect more from Hansa, though!
