Guess this Coaster! (By the Layout)
_koppen replied to tarheel1231's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Formule X or FamilyCo Express, have your pick -
That waterside is absolutely ridiculous. In an AWESOME way! I think even I would think twice before going on that thing, lol. I can't decide if I like the trains for LR or not. In one way they look very impressive with it's big appearance of the front vehicle, as well as the edgy look of the rest of it. On the other hand those things also look weird. I'm not sure how I feel yet.. Also surprised the trains are only 4 cars long, I thought they were going to have 5?

Djurs Sommerland Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Nosferatu's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The ship is now on site, and it looks really good! I always been thinking that to few of the worlds swinging ships are themed to vikings, it's nice to see another one. Source -
The train is on site! I'm gonna have to visit this park for the first time this summer, except a full report. I also like that they have gon for a big, high quality ride for their first coaster, instead of cheap out and install a rollerskater or a wild mouse. Generally when looking at this parks investments it seems to be more quality over quantity. Hopefully this will also be the case in the future. Also have a look at one of the restaurants in the park. It's inhabited with 6 gigantic trolls that holds up the roof. Source

Hansa Park Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That is awesome!! I did suspect it might be a vertical lift after hearing how big the building would be, but I never thought they would do a vertical drop on this one. -
The interesting construction in this park is pretty dead now, they are only doing the infrastructure and buildings now. The park will open July 31. They have released a tease of the splash, looks great! As I said earlier, I love that they have two big buckets, instead of a one big and a one small, but I hope they are not done with the theme on the structure, it looks kinda naked. Source

Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014
_koppen replied to msep003's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think these ones are my favorites! -
I think it looks like great addition, if it's true, the rides at SFDK and Holiday Park looks awesome. I'm sure the park have considered the capacity, and are addressing it to fit their needs. Even if they don't, they won't be the first big park to install a low capacity ride, as mentioned earlier. Also we need to remember that the park got a ridiculously expensive coaster in 2012, I think a big ass, expensive ride for 2015 is out of the question.

Awesome photos! Always wanted to try Nemesis, but it looks like The Smiler could be just as big if a draw for me.

I think it's been quite a while since the last one. I think there is another one going in to the new Romon World park in China this year as well. -

To bad about Tarantula, I heard it's one of the best spinners in the world. -

It sure is! HUSS make the best looking swinging ships in the world IMO (I really like the more "wide legged frisbee" looking structure, as opposed to the tight more common structures that can be seen on ex the new ship at Holiday World. I love the Zierer family towers! I think all parks should have them. Djurs allready have a great family drop tower though, it's a pretty cool ride from ABC. It's themed to a saber sword, and it also tilts to the sides during the ride. It's a very fun ride, not as intense as the Zierer towers though. a video. -
Guess this Coaster! (By the Layout)
_koppen replied to tarheel1231's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That is correct that it's a tunnel! This is so close you can get to the answer, without being correct, but I'm definitely gonna say that you got it! The ride is OCT Thrust SSC1000, which is just a mirror clone of Bullet Coaster, at Happy valley Wuhan. These are some of the most photogenic rides in Asia IMO, and I heard that they are great rides, if a bit unreliable. Your turn! -

The new viking land will have two pull up towers, like this: Only they will have a much more awesome theme. These gigant 7-8 feet helmets will be on top of them. I think it will look really good once done. Source
