New Ride Company "Ride Engineers Switzerland"

[TheCoasterCruiser]

I just discovered something pretty interesting in the newest issue of Parkworld Magazine, that I thought I would share.
Ride Engineers Switzerland (ERS) is a new ride design company, apparently founded by the former ABC Rides CEO, Willy Walser (how's that for a name? :emoji_smile.

They have two brand new concepts that look really interesting.
First there is the "Roller Ball", a bit like the Zacspin, but more family friendly I think.
"Currently in production, the first Roller Ball should be available for test runs in northern Germany this january"





And then there is the "Air Loop" and this is where things get really cool!
Air Loop is essentially a roller coaster track with Gerstlauer Sky Roller trains! (Albeit probably not made by Gerst)
"Multiple track layouts are possible, from a simple figure 8 circuit to a large coaster layout. The first order is still pending"

That's literally what this is.

The Sky Roller Coaster looks fun. Especially if other layouts are possible!

I'm loving their concept art.

I'm really intrigued by their sky roller on a coaster idea. Hope we see one built.

Any idea on what park is building the zacspin?

The first concept is great, the second, I can't help but think won't work?

I guess for the 2nd design to work you need a quite stable speed - so I guess a powered coaster would be best.

Hahahah, the triumphant return of the interactive rides frequent faller coaster!
Remember back in 2005 in Hersheypark was supposed to build one, turbulence. https://www.google.com/search?q=tur...UIBygB&biw=1280&bih=800#imgrc=Wc_oS0eVgp91jM:

As I mentioned on Ghosterforce, I had a weird dream years ago that Phantasialand was building a RCT3 Dizzy Dropper on the car park just past Mystery Castle, coincidence? (Heavily doubt it although it would be interesting to ride if any actually get built!)

If they bought one of those I'd ****ing cry, the whole zacspin type experience is completely vile and wouldn't fit Phantasialand whatsoever.

Northern Germany. Hansa? It would suit the park.

Exactly what I was thinking. It looks like something Skyline Park would install.
