Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Also remember that Holiday World sold two of their three PTC trains from The Voyage before the 2010 season, to make room for the timberliners, leaving them without trains. They had to modify one train from Raven for the Voyage, and then run Raven with a single train that season. -

AWESOME! Now hopefully the wild mouse won't have an hour long line in the summer -
New Intamin looper train?
_koppen replied to kadabrium's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They are also on the Fly Rider in China, and the new LSM ride in Vialand probably also have them. What I'm really interested in, is if parks with the accelerator trains can upgrade easily to these. I can only imagine how Furius Baco and Speed Monster would ride with these. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There can be all the reasons in the world, it is still embarrassing for the company that they can not get the train they self called "The most revolutionary wooden coaster train …ever" almost 5 years ago to work on rides taller than 50 feet. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

I think it's embarrising for GG that it has taken them so long to get the timberliners up and running (soon) on a big coaster. They were annoced five years ago this year. -
What park should have an Intamin Mega-Lite?
_koppen replied to Montuman99's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would classify a Megalite as a family-thrill coaster. They are certanly not to intense for kids 8 years and up, assuming they have the length. It's a very popular ride at Djurs Sommerland, and most people who rides it are family's with kids that are not to old, and I have never seen anyone coming back crying or something like that, which you can sometimes see on bigger rides. Most people are laughing there asses of. You need to remember though, that they only have a theoretical capacity of 800/h, and that's why you will probably not see one at any of the bigger parks (I have no idea about what capacity Holiday World are looking for in their coasters). This. End of story. So rides like Skyrush and I305 is okay, but not a Megalite?? -
That looks weird, I have not seen that on any other aqualoop

Victory Kingdom China Construction
_koppen replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The ride is testing! Hopefully some park in Europe will pick up on of these as it looks fantastic! Next generation, lap-bar only, wing rider train from intamin. Hopefully they have learned something from Furius Baco! Source -
This one in Austria is one of my personal favorites! It just looks so impressive.

Djurs Sommerland Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Nosferatu's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm seriously impressed by the pacing! Well except for the last two hills, but this is a family ride, and I still think this turned out as excellent as it could! Can't wait for June -

Walygator Parc Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
After a quick look at a pov Anaconda looks like crap and it seems to me it would be a waste of money to re-track it. Either hire RMC to raise the lift hill and change the rest of the layout Six flags style or leave it as it is. -
Nürburgring launched coaster

Damn, I hope for the sake of S&S that this is not true, but why else would they sue them? -

Great tip, I had not even considered that. Just got home from the airport, and I think I just got lost in all these photos.
