itselguapo Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 well of course it goes at certain speed in 2.5 seconds.... which is freaking amazing. It has a loop. Has a corkscrew.. and it spins. That sounds very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force 310 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 It's obviously a launched spinning inverted wooden Aquatrax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 ^Got to admit, that was pretty good for a 12-year-old. I think you may have been the first one to mention aquatrax. Anyway, I always knew Mack owned Europa park, but never new they built all but one of their coasters. Is this the only amusement park owned by a manufacturing company?

devol4 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Wow things go fast, saw the banners in the park last saturday.. Big sign near the entrance off to the left, says basically what's already been said, the background shows a village though.. Like something that was in the movie The Village, those types of buildings.... no clue if that might hint to the coaster or the part of the park that's being built next...

darklingscribe Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I don't know, but I can honestly say that I haven't heard of any other park owned by a ride manufacturer. Someone said to me on the Europe trip that even though Silver Star is B&M manufactured, Mack designed the layout and then gave the plans over to B&M to work out the finer details. I'm not sure if this true or not. As for the teaser ads, I think they are more likely designed to induce wild speculation rather than to hint at what the ride might be. All that seems pretty certain is that it will be launched and the first coaster at Europa with inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomorefloor Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 i really hope its not worlds first...mack that goes upside down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 i really hope its not worlds first...mack that goes upside down yeah it surely will be.... i have a friend which life near waldkirch germany, where Macks manufactures his coasters. the last days he has seen the new rails which are seen on this ad: the rails were in a rough status and were not painted, but they were surely the same ones like seen on this picture! (hope its okay that i post this picture here a second time... sorry to the admin for the last new topic!!) i hope this coaster will have controlled turning trains and a dark ride part...(have you seen the lamp in the hand of the women) and Mr. Mack said in an old interview, that they build sth. special thrilling with a darkride part. But the track design in the backround looks really nice. the translation of the text, hope its right: "discover the pure energy! - the new rollercoaster 2009" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm actually pretty excited about this. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Silver Star, I still really like it and think that Europa has one of the best coaster/ride line ups in the world. This just gives me yet another reason to go back! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Agreed. Europa was one of the best park experiences I've had. If they have this ride open and working reliably enough by next June I might head out to Europa either before or after the next 2009 TPR trip.

the sound Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 For some reason I really can't see this being a Mack ride, despite the park being a showcase for Mack. I wouldn't have thought that this sort of ride was what Mack was in the market for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalepi_Konei Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 ^ I honestly think Mack has been improving over the past while now, and I think they've been gearing up for a big ride like this so they can join the big leagues with B&M, Intamin, and the other rising star Vekoma. As for the poster shown above me a few posts, that looks like Journey To The Center of the earth mixed with a wicked sweet rollercoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought that this sort of ride was what Mack was in the market for. In the past Mack was known for family rides and coaters. But Mr. Mack himself said in an interview that the market wants more thrilling coasters and so they decided to build thrilling ones. Thrilling rides combined with the Mack quality will be one of the best things i`ve ever heard in the coaster world and by the way, it will be much cheaper for mack if they produce such kind of the rides by them self... and they get a better market position against their competitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeddeamon128 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 So are Mack launch coasters more reliable than Intamin rocket coasters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olimonn Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Provided it will most likely not be an hydraulic launch (Intamin owning the patent), I would say yes Don't forget also that Mack is one of the most reliable manufacturer around with B&M...

monkeyoverlord71 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 hey hey was on the mack website and found this www.mack-rides.com/lang-en/c124/default.html so im guessing this is what there getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 ^You think they'll launch that thing and put inversions into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The invert looks like a cool concept. The track looks good... all tri-rail track does, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 hey hey was on the mack website and found this www.mack-rides.com/lang-en/c124/default.html so im guessing this is what there getting Probably not, as that's a powered coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 the coaster in the background of that poster looks alot like Dragon Khan. its not quite right but its not far off Anyway I'm really looking forward to this coaster. I am of the opinion that Mack are one of the most underrated companies out there. EP is an amazing place and rides such as Euro Mir are both unique and extremely fun. If this turns out to be a large multi looping coaster and it turns out well it could just push them into the league with the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Probably not, as that's a powered coaster. no thats not true... the german description said that it can be build as a powered coaster or as a non powered with lift hill or both together. But its nearly sure that it won`t be an inverted one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
