I'm slightly disappointed that it's a water coaster if I'm honest. ?

^If it is anything like that piece of crap Poseidon then same.
Who knows maybe something has improved or changed with the model. Be interesting to watch.

I'm hoping it isn't one at all, as it might not be one for definite.

It does look like a water coaster with what looks like two splash pools dug out. Maybe it will be a custom layout?
Skatteøen is a great family attraction and I wouldn't call it rough.

We learn that the budget for the future coaster is 15 million euros! When you know that let's go Blitz cost 8 less there is something to be enthusiastic about!

Very interesting indeed, is that the whole project cost? Wonder how themed it will be

I think this might be a bit more than a water coaster at that price tag. Maybe a smaller scale launch coaster, along the lines of CHS? Although having said that, the price tag perfectly matches Plopsaland's spinner.

It is clearly not a budget for a Water Coaster. It may be more like a Big Dipper or even a launch coaster.

New photos were posted on Coastersworld.fr after a meeting today.

Very interested to see what turns up in the next week's

Looking at the construction area yesterday it's looks a lot like a water coaster ! As of the footprint I don't think it will be a Poseidon or Skatteøen clone but more a custom layout ! I can't wait to be surprised !

I can't wait to see track and theming going up !

15 million euros for a water coaster kind of feels like a ripoff though. Anyone know how much any of the other Mack water coasters cost?

Well, Skatteøen cost a little over 8 million €, and that's about 10 years ago.
Plus, this looks to have a custom layout and who knows how much they're spending on theming?
It's not unheard of.

I suppose. I'm also leaning towards this featuring an elevator lift due to it not seeming to take up that much land compared to other water coasters, which I imagine costs a fair bit more than a chain lift.

Today I was close to the Mack factory so I went to say a little hello to that presumably new gen watercoaster track ! (If you can't see it, it's the track part right in the middle of the picture) The theory for this kind of ride at Nigloland seems to be true... !

That defo looks like water coaster track but doesn't look any different to those that already exist?

EDIT:- Looks like it has a tri-tube underneath and possibly diagonal facing guide/upstop rails?

Here's how it looks like with a drawing made by KingRCT3


So maybe the tritube track is made to don't have as much support as the other watercoaster ? Like Intamin with it's double spine. Or maybe it's made so the train and track can do some crazy elements ?

I believe the side rails are angled like that so that larger up-stop wheels can be used... Combine that with the truss track, it makes me believe this will be more intense than any other standard Mack Water Coaster we've seen.
