Lagoon Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Twister II's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is one of my favorite projects, I love that they are going through with it! Can't wait to see the lift, steep drop and a bigg-ass Immelmann! -

Seriously, I will be pissed if you don't include Juvelen in that list, it sure deserves it -

As the other said, wait for it to get interesting, then we will all rave about it -
Kolmården Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm just so god damn excited! We here in Sweden have become so spoilt in recent years! I still can't believe this thing is real. And to think this is only the start of Kolmården's amusement attractions, I can't wait to see what it looks like in 20 years with all the attractions and animals combined I love the direction Parks and Resort have been taking with their parks the last 10 years, becoming more involved in the new rides that are on the market, and more corporation with North American producers. In this pace, I would not be surprised if we even see something amazing at Skara in the coming years. Megalite anyone? -
Kolmården Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would really love for Kolmården to turn out to the Swedish version of Epcot! I'm expecting a coaster here though, it fit's so well with what have been said here and in First Drop Magazine, as well as the ride's budget. I haven't speculated anything in this thread, so I don't think I should start now. Funny how busy I have been in school, I haven't really noticed these last weeks, it feels like I learned about this project just three days ago. One things for sure, I will have my computer with me at tomorrows lecture 10 o'clock! -
Europa Park Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I really like the look of it now! I was a little bit disappointed when I saw the trains go around without the car attached, as it looked really slow ( I know it's a family ride). The reason I thought so was because the earlier animations the trains were not spinning on the outside section. Now with this video it looks awesome doing some slow spinning along the track (also looks like it's running a little bit faster)! I wanna (like the rest of this board) go to Europa Park now! -

Lat's look at some Intamin rides sold in the last few years, shall we? Might as well throw in these: -

Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014
_koppen replied to msep003's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I definitely see what you mean, but I wouldn't call it airtime though. Me too! I'm so nervous that Helix's roll will be lamer than the one on Blue Fire. -

Looks like they are hauling ass with construction! Still no signs of the other two rumored Intamin rides.. Source -

Awesome! -
Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014
_koppen replied to msep003's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like the look of that! It just looks like it misses that "tiny tiny spot" of aggressiveness that the Intamin version have. Can't wait to see a summer heat POV of this thing. Oh believe me, there is definitely ejector air on that hill! -
I know that Maurer uses Stakotra for their X-car trains (at least they used to), they may produce their smaller vehicles themselves though. I think Vekoma may outsource some of their newer trains as well, at least that's what I remember from when I read about the Battlestar Galactica accident. Vekoma blamed the manufacturer for the seat loosening, and the manufacturer blamed Vekoma's specifications.

It's an Intamin ride. Only number that have been released is that it's the parks biggest investment in a single attraction ever. -

Holy crapballs, that looks awesome! I love the disco room during the backwards section! Contender for best flume in the world? Looks like it could be. Can't wait to try it in a couple of years!
