Liseberg Discussion Thread
vekoma_fan replied to viking86's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So, Liseberg gave us an early christmas present! (and for the 100-year anniversary) Luna Park a new themed land, has been announced for 2023! https://www.liseberg.se/luna-park/ In 2023 Liseberg celebrates its 100-year anniversary. This centennial will be marked by the opening of the LisebergGrand Curiosa Hotel in 2023 and Oceana Water World in 2024. But already next year, the celebration begins with a completely new themed area named Luna Park, as well as two new family rides, Turbo & Tempus. A year later, the Luna family boomerang roller coaster, will be added to the area. Tempus – a Zamperla Nebulaz ride – plays with time and space, and the four axes rotate in perfect harmony, taking you up and down and around with extraordinary precision. Turbo – an interactive Technical Park Sidecar XL carousel – is letting you decide for yourself how fast and high you want the motorcycle and sidecar to go. In time for the centennial in 2023, the last and biggest ride – Luna – will be added. Luna is a Vekoma Family Boomerang coaster, where the train follows a 242 meters long track until a drop at a dead-end spike, and then back again. With its 33.5 meters tall spike Luna becomes the tallest and fastest (68km/h) of its kind in the world. -

Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
vekoma_fan replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have a question.. I'm going to Thorpe july 16th, the park is still open just from 10-17 (low peak?) - how crowded is the park usually the week before longer hours? Should I spend more money on the fasttrack (£90 for unlimited) Thoughts? -

Some more progress has happend to the park - and a new area of the park is now in the works. So far, the new area is a few buildings, two new rides and a new roller coaster, Stalion, inspired by Medusa Steel Coaster (the layout is still a work in progress, but it gives you an idea of whats happening. The Whip Stalion's Station - still a work in progress - unsure about the color, but.. yeah.. Restroom building - and more to come! Entrance to the star shape - Generator Hope you like it - feedback is alway welcome!!!

More progress has been done during the last few weeks. Some new rides and shops, and the park is "soft opening" to see how the crowd flows for now.. A monster can be seen from the entrance of the park Its Titan! The Flume Ride The floorless coaster, Revolt Spin Master - modeled after Mauer Spinning SC2000 Last pic for now!

So, I've been playing this, a lot, and finally I've decided to make an attempt at making a "realistic" park. Be warned, I'm not the most creative person, and this is just a start and still work in progress. The park is kinda inspired by Busch Gardens Tampa. If you got any feedback /suggestions - please share This is the park entrance, you saw the signs right? The entrance area The parks only ride, so far The park so far

The way I manage to make a Pretzel loop is like this; Turn on angle snapping!! When on the highest point of you pretzel, make a drop, straigt down (90 degrees), and at the same time, turn it as far to the left/right you can (90 degrees), and make sure your drop is still vertical. Then make a new piece, that you also turn as far left/right as possible, and level out your track piece. (You will now have a half loop, with a twist) Then do it all again but upwards and you'll have a kinda like pretzel loop (but the track its twisted as crazy). Now its time to twist the track so it goes from "flying" to "laying" by twisting the middle section of the "half loops". And then just turn of the angle snapping and start moving the upwards half loop to the left / right so that the track dont hit it self.. And then smooth the ass out of your element

Tusenfryd Discussion Thread
vekoma_fan replied to Shadowforce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is starting to look great, and its nice to finally have something more in this area of the park. But its about time they start planing a new coaster, more exciting then (Western Expressen). I would be happy just getting a Boomerang, but I hope for a Inverted coaster, don't need to be the biggest coaster, but a small and fun inverted. (They could get something similar like Daemonen at Tivoli - but Inverted). Small, cute and fun! But that being said, still happy for a water-ride like this -

Could this be Lisebergs next big ride on the mountain top? Isn't one of the rumors a Sky Roller? So why not make it a special one..? -
Hansa Park Discussion Thread
vekoma_fan replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I must say this really looks promising! And cant wait to see how the tower will look like next year, Hansa Park has been really good with theming, just look at Die Schlange von Midagard and Fluch von Novgorod, so I hope this will be just as great, if not better! And the ride it self, looks incredible! And the lifthill drop, clever! Cant wait to try this next time I visit the park! -
