It's almost as if they're the same type of coaster made by the same manufacturer or something.I've just realized this has the exact same track type/style as Hyperion.
Yet with completely different trains.It's almost as if they're the same type of coaster made by the same manufacturer or something.
Now I need a tissue, screw that, a whole box is needed.Here is the full layout overview/stats/Onride POV by Looopings:-
This is in Belgium, isn't it?I'm going to be that guy who points out that, whilst 50m is taller than any coaster in France currently, Parc Asterix's 2021 cred is slated to be 51m tall. Awkward.
This is in Belgium, isn't it?
Good point, but G-Force's drop has a more aggresive banking going inward and then back out, while the new one aligns and then continues on.On the French forums, KingRCT3 noted a suspiciously similarity between Expedition GeForce and Walibi Belgium Hyper's drops:
Even the support structure, the whip of the drop look alike. Considering both coasters are manufactured by the same company (obviously), I wonder if this is some sort of subtle homage Intamin is paying to one of their iconic rides - 2021 will be EGF's 20th anniversary after all!
Dat second half is nuts. So... much... airtime!!!!
For those who wonder how Intamin got a hold on RMC's drugs, here is my attempt to share some insight. Back at EAS 2018 last September, I talked to Camiel Bilsen who is Intamin's new young coaster designer. The new designs are a team effort but he's played a decisive part in the bolder approach we see now. I remember him telling me that Intamin's competitors are "doing left and right crazy elements" and that his company has to go beyond unspoken rules to "stay on top of the game". Now I truly see what he meant!
That's what the young guy did on NL2 back as an engineering student. It's a wonderful story that he's now able to share his vision and passion on real life, high scale projects like this!
Fantastic job Intamin and Walibi! So excited for this <3
I guess this puts a conclusive end to all the "Walibi Belgium builds only shuttle coasters" joke.
To be honest, I was a bit back-and-forth on whether I liked that or not.
Only that the coasters are supposed to open in 2021.Well that's the 2020 Euro-Live sorted: Walibi Belgium & Parc Asterix.
To get pictures of mud, I mean.Only that the coasters are supposed to open in 2021.
