Wiener Prater New Cred

[peep]

^This is what I'm hoping for, would love to get another chance to ride it.

They were trying to get Hollenblitz to WW last year. Here's hoping they get it sorted this year.

A foreign fan page have posted pics of the Höllenblitz lorry in Vienna for anyone else as excited about this as I am

Hope to see it operating soon.

Apparently the construction is scheduled to begin today.
Anybody know how long these things take to put together? To put it politely, I will be most displeased if it doesn't open until after 2 April...

It usually takes a week, as that's what the owners always schedule for the fairs the coaster appears at. Since this is not the typical situation they might be on a slightly different time schedule, but I wouldn't expect it to take much longer than usual.

I'm still not going to properly relax until I see it operating, but this looks like much of the work is done
