Hansa Park | Kärnan | Gerstlauer Hyper Coaster

[_koppen]

They do look like inversions at a glance but this coaster will have none.

There will be a barrel-roll.

Oh I actually remember reading something about this now! I think I read it will happen in an indoor pre-lift section.

No, it will actually happen after the brake run.
It has been shown in some pictures somewhere.

Edit:
Here it is.

In the meantime, the trains arrived. No over-the-shoulder restraints! =D>

Also, the track is almost complete.

Those are really cool looking trains, and no OTSRs is always good

I hear the track is complete! Can't wait to see some POVs from this beast

 

[Nemesis of oblivion]

They look awesome! Hopefully this really improves the experience of what Gerstlauer coasters usually give!

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

Love how it hugs the ground after the first drop!

Don't know if this has been posted yet? But it seems like concept art of the complete layout:

I am so stoked for this right now! :--D I've had my doubts in the past. And sure, it might not be perfectly smooth.. But the layout look really interesting and refreshing! I like it :--D

The soundtrack for the ride has been composed by IMA Score, and finished recording yesterday. They worked with the Budapest Film Orchestra and Choir. Looking forward to hearing it!

Aaaaaaand TESTING!

Wow, looks to be quite fast considering it has just started testing. This has potential to become one of the best new coasters in Europe for 2015.

 

[peep]

Hmm, still such an unusual layout. Does seem to go pretty quickly around the track. Some parts look really fun, look forward to riding this next year.

 

[Hyde]

Really do love the low-profile, banked turns section!

 

[Martyn B]

Some of that elements look a little too fast, especially for a Gerst.... :?

This is either going to be epic, or horrendous.

 

[ThomVD]

Yeah, not sure if this looks amazing or vile. Could go either way. Still would've liked more hills though.

Have you been on Karacho yet? I think that Gerstlauer has massively improved in the past years, so I can imagine this being quite good as well...

 

[_koppen]

That looks awesome! I call that it will crap on Silver Star!

I didn't like Karacho, easily the worst of the four Gerst launchers I've ridden. Rattly, painfull seats and a launch that follows a drop to fast, causing my head to hit the seat like I'm in a wrestling match.

Novgorod is awesome though, hopefully this one will be too.

 

[SaiyanHajime]

I too thought it was crazy fast - maybe the small trains make it look faster than we expected from this style of ride?

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

That airtime hill looks utterly terrifyingly good...

The random loop-but-not-actually-a-loop mess of track is still weird though, I don't understand why they've done that...
