In one of the clues they talk about something electrical on stage 5, which could be the main stage, in which case it could be something new to the ghost house which is neibourgh to the stage. -

Well it's not every year they build a tall-a$$ vertical drop with a twist Expedition Geforce have a much longer train than this though, so the air in the back won't be as awesome. -

I agree to 100%. I mean the "lava" over the tunnel was okay, but I just don't see the point of photoshopping away the entire lift. -

I really hope this first drop will be even more awesome than the first drop on Expedition Geforce! -

You need to give some useful clues about this one, otherwise the thread will just die down for a week, and then be revived by someone else. -

Yes, pretty much, the city wanted it to happen. It's nice that we residents have a pretty big say in projects here in Sweden, but very often, like here (and when they are trying to build something new and out of the box) it's just annoying! -

They did get the permission from the city, however it was overthrown by the closest apartment residents. -
Holy shitballs! That sounds absolutely awesome!! I'm excepting a big-ass surf pool and some really awesome aquaplay structures. I hope for some new family slides types from Whitewater here, since they are able to play with 9 different towers. Would be cool to see them do a family bowl slide. I also hope they have the new AdrenaLIM blaster as well! Proslide and Whitewater are pretty equal when it comes to the Chinese market, but they are the two dominant western manufacturers, Polin and the other manufacturers haven't quite made it there in any big scale projects just yet. Although about 90% of the water parks who gets build there use the Chinese knock-off companies.

When I was at the park 2 years ago I thought about it, and I remember thinking it was fully 90 degrees. -

The old dive machines (Oblivion and G5) both have 87 degrees drops because of the wheel axles, it's easy to see this if you look at photos of their first drops. Starting with Sheikra the dive machines got fully 80 degrees drop. When it comes to Krake there is a bit on confusion. Some respected sites claim 90 degrees and some respected sites claim 87 degrees. For this reason RCDB dosen't list any of them. It's hard to tell which one is true, watching some photos from different angles it looks to be 87 degrees but viewing from the side it looks to be fully 90 degrees. -

Could it maybe be the same as this? -

_koppen replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's pretty awesome, but then again this is Plopsa. Awesome that they will have this as well as the new cool looking water park for 2015! Sorry, the outside slides are Wiegand-Maelzer (with the launch capsule coming from Proslide) and the play structure is from Van Egdom -

^ I hope that it means it will be a permanent version on a real concrete foundation, and not a trailer mounted ride like the other Star Shape's. Anyway I think it's a great addition, even though the one at Skyline Park was kinda lame. -

Well that was only a matter of time! We need to remember that Mack have not built anything of this scale before, so some fine tuning was inevitable. I'm sure the ride will be totally smooth next year. The noise barrier will only be installed if the neighbors to the park starts complaining about the screaming, and I haven't heard anything that indicates it would be needed yet. -

This is shaping up to become my favorite B&M project for 2015, along with the Wanda flyer!
