Tripsdrill | Hals-Über-Kopf & Volldampf | Vekoma STC & Family Boomerang Coaster

[toofpikk]

The colours are so rich and so so perfect for the Tripsdrill setting too. They're really nailing it. Good for them.

The last 20 seconds of dramatic music with nothing happening on screen is easily the best part of that video.

That STC looks really great but also a bit slow.. I know, it’s just the first couple of test runs and we shouldn’t judge just yet but compared to other coasters and their first test runs it does look rather slow, so let’s wait and see I guess.

^ And thus, the cycle endlessly repeats.

Testing continues.

 

[VonRolland]

Seems to run quicker in that video

It goes realy fast up the Lifthill. I believe this is a nice rollercoaster. The Boomerang station is stunning.

Got some Offrides with Sounds.
The lift is Rattling very Loud, mabe because it is running at full speed for the tests

Tripsdrill themselves have shared a video of the family boomerang Volldampf testing with various angles.

Because we haven't seen enough HüK testing videos yet:-

The more I see of these, the more I like them. I reckon Tripsdrill are on to real winners here.

Ok this thing is really hauling some ass now:-

I definitely think this will end up being the best ride in the park, more so than Karacho which also looks great.

 

[Hixee]

I mean that does look fantastic. I wouldn't quite say "hauling ass", but undeniably much faster than before.

Better than Karacho...? Not sure. I reckon it'd be close.

 

[Lofty]

Yeah, exaggerating a little there... it looks a little faster, but it ain't haulin'.

Plus, Karacho also isn't that good, it's quite forgettable to be honest.

I thought Karacho was really fun and smooth, with some surprisingly great airtime especially on the top hat. I was amazed at how much better and smoother it is than the Smiler despite both being built at the same time.

That roll over the station on HüK though looks fantastic.

On a different note - I think I’ve read it somewhere before but can’t remember - does anyone know what the trench under Mammut‘s north side was for? It looks almost like a log flume trough or alternative queue route, but I don’t think it was ever used.

Top post sounds good, but reeks of knowledge-entitlement which I don't like.

Looks faster, but I feel like it needs a little more speed still. Hopefully it'll get there!

I agree that this is no way running any faster than in other previous videos. Many people want to crown HüK as Tripsdrill's best coaster and I think in terms of overall product, Karacho wins hands down.

This combo of Vekoma is a perfect step between junior coasters and thrill rides like Karacho. In fact, I would put HüK in the same category as Mammut: nothing mind-blowing so families can ride together but thrilling enough to keep riders entertained.
