JordyC Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Gravity Group wooden coaster for Parc Saint Paul in 2018 Parc Saint Paul, located in France, is expanding its offer for the next season with an investment of 2.5 million euros. This is the arrival of a great novelty, in this case a brand new family wooden roller coaster named Wood Express, produced by the American manufacturer, The Gravity Group. Wood Express will have a smooth and compact layout of 479 meters. The duration of the ride will be just under 2 minutes. The first descent will be 57°. Wood Express will have multiple tight turns, bumps and no less than 13 moments of airtime. The lift hill elevates up to 15 meters. This will allow the train to reach a maximum speed of 61 km/h. Note that the attraction will be accessible from guests taller than 1,10 meter. The capacity will be 372 people per hour. The construction will begin at the end of the 2017 season. Wood Express will be located on the area in front of the reception. Because of this expansion, two attractions will no longer be found in the park next year. According to multiple sources, these two attractions are Wild Train and Formule 1. With 39 attractions, the family amusement park of Saint Paul offers its visitors also 5 restaurants and 800 picnic places, not to mention the 1300 free parking spaces. The parc opened in 1983 and covers 27 hectares. Parc Saint Paul welcomes 375,000 visitors each year. There is no official POV from the park itself, nor from Gravity Group. This is a video I found on YouTube. So please delete if it is necessary. Source Edited October 31, 2017 by JordyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dombot Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 ^ Looks great, but I hope the two coasters get relocated somewhere else. They look like a ton of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at them after seeing this and wondered why they were getting rid of them, but then looked again and the nice looking one is 17 years old and the crappy one is 12, and the Russian manufacturer has discontinued coasters. There's still places that might want them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'm loving all these smaller Gravity Group woodies and this looks like another win. It's really impressive how much airtime they cram into rides this short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastered Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 No, both Pax rollercoasters will be staying in the park. The Muzik Express and Slide next to the flume will be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromango Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Great addition! I think I'm more excited for this than for SW8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
