Large Flume for Freizeitpark Klotten, Germany

[Martyn B]

Found this on TPR the other day:

They were actually planning to open the coaster and the Flume together quite a few years ago, that model shows what it would have looked like. And that is why the coaster opened with the hideous structure in the middle of it:

I would say that this is a shoot the chutes ride, and not a flume ride.

Looks really fun tough, if a bit ugly without theming.

I can't argue with the park's claim to be the steepest & fastest in Europe, but is it really also the tallest? :?

 

[Martyn B]

^ If its the water ride they're on about, then its neither the steepest, fastest, or tallest in Europe......

But tallest and fastest is soon to be Divertical.

 

[Lofty]

Yeah, they're doing a BPB and stretching the truth, when I say stretching, I mean pulling it to within an inch of it's life.

 

[ECG]

Divertical isn't considered to be a log flume, is it? :?

 

[Lofty]

No. Certainly not. It's a "Coaster" according to all promotional material

 

[Martyn B]

I was just thinking along the lines of 'water ride', as I remember reading thats going to be the tallest water ride in the world/Europe...

 

[ECG]

Na, they're claiming it to be the tallest, steepest & fastest log flume in Europe. They know they can't get away with calling it the tallest, etc. water ride in Europe. Even the GP knows better than that. :wink:

 

[Lofty]

Log flume, it could well be, it's a shame it's not a log flume though in my eyes
