New pics on http://www.epfans.info/?id=2301,2&& Oh that curve before the brakes looks.... the layout gets better and better! I`m really looking forward how they will connect it after the brakes what this things on support will be is till now unknown!!! first the most people think they where to build walls which save the neighbours of the park from noise... because they protested and forced the park that they will do something on the track parts the people scream to loud and they can build on this things the walls fast if they are needed. But some of them look in antoher direction were no one lives. so by the way we had to wait till its done to get known for what these things are -

Kooky replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah these things were often discussed! Now we think that they build this to add noise protection walls like at the silverstar... this is because the neighbors claimed from the park that they should be able to block the noise if the people scream to loud. So I think they test it and when it will be to loud they put their some walls on. -

Pic of the new track part: more pics here: http://chris-space.net/news/coaster/13.11.2008/bilder.php about the dark ride! the name of the ride is after rumors and a article of "coastersandmore" (http://www.coastersandmore.de/rides/eas2008/eas2008_2.php) will be "blue fire" and has a "iceland" theme and one slogan is: "Erlebe die pure Energie" it means: "Experience the pure energy". Many people think it will be themed with fire, because iceland has many vulcanos and of course of the name. Some of the advert pictures show an adventure/science team (don`t know the excact word for this) with lamps...! So i think the story will be about them!!! They search after something in caves and when they found something they will be shoot out with fire and fog... for example -

The name means: "Curse of Nowgorod": Nowgorod its an russian town, which were trading with the Hanse Family since 1160 a.d.! The Story of the ride isn`t known yet. But i can try to translate the facts of the homepage: * The Ride is a combination of a Darkride/Indoor-Coaster, a theme based Darkride-Part, a modern Launch Coaster, an Outdoor-Coaster, a Coaster with a vertical Lifthill and with 97 degree drop in the dark!. * First Time in Germany were a coaster tells a Story! * Launch in the dark with an acceleration of 100 km/h in 1,4 sec. * vertical Lifthill in the Dark * 97 ° Drop in the Dark but with an stop at the Highest Part * Single Trains with a weight of 2,8 tons. this will make the fast Launch possible!! * 8 people per train * Capacity 900 people per hour * One overturning/looping element * Manufactured by: Firma Gerstlauer Amusement Rides GmbH, Münsterhausen in Germany, after an Idea from HANSA-PARK * technical Specials: First TIme in the World were they build coaster trains which could be lifted by a vertical chainlift and a modern Launch System. With this they had new possibilitys to generate a new dimension of dramaturgy in a coaster ride! With this they will realize new combinations of coaster- and darkride-elements in a storytelling like never before!! and they often said on the HP: it will be a ride which entertain in 5 dimensions! what ever they mean with this... for me it sounds like "Mystery Mine" with a Launch! but what i find really impressive is the number of Eurofighters which where build at the moment... this must be a big massproduction!!!! Here an artwork: -

Kooky replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
you were faster with the pictures! yeah the coaster will be great! hope that their will be a little darkride part in beginning, like the rumors said. But to the rumors about the last Loop Part: The Park said that they just tested if everything fits for the PressConference which is tomorrow on 08/22/2008 where the last part of the Loop (not of the track) will be set... i don`t think that they will have any problems during building... Mack has developed their own special way so that the rails will stick perfect together... and with a minimum of bumbs! if you have ridden the Kiddicoaster "Pegasus" in Europa Park, you`ll know what i mean! its perfect smooth! -
yeah but the whole track layout ist pure fantasy.... i have jusst built it after some rumours.... but some of this seems to be fact!!!! and some workers from MACK mentoined that the layout from artwork is the final one... and the inversion in the top hat is pure fantasy... so i think it will be a normal on top driven tophat. and there are some rumours that the first part of track will be a good themed dark ride part - i hope it is true! Mack said that they will spend 15 million Euro (ca 22 million dollar) for the coaster (which is build by their own firm, so it is much cheapper for them) and 10 million for theming but just take this video as an idea of what could be built there!!!

I`ve made a NoLimits video after the rumors and artworks in the Internet. hope you`ll enjoy it: here the rumours which i used as facts to built it: - layout after the Artwork - launch in 2-3 seconds to 106 Km/h - height 45 Meter - 1 looping - blockBrakes (artwork) - 2 corkscrew (artwork) - 1 Heartline ROll (rumour) - Launch in the Dark (DarkRide-Part rumour) - blue triangle trails (Photos and Artwork) - and the 5th inversion in the tophat is purely fictional... there are just rumours about 4 inversions. The rest of the track layout is pure fantasy... i think its a nice piece to imagine what could come! Here a picture to compare the artwork with the layout: direct download HERE!!!!

no thats not true... the german description said that it can be build as a powered coaster or as a non powered with lift hill or both together. But its nearly sure that it won`t be an inverted one... -
German Report about "wild train"coaster (lots of a
Kooky replied to Kooky's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
lol.... a better name would be wildtrain - the kiddy and moms coaster ride to hell the report says that the airtime must be insane, especially in the back of the train it must be "extreme". And the track layout is YAmYAM....there some moments (like in the helix) where you thinking that you collide with other parts of the track, for example the headchopper in the drop after the helix.... in some photos you can see how close the train passes. -
nice report about a little crazy coaster which was build in the "Erlebnispark Strasswaldchen, Salzburg, Österreich". It has very crazy layout and the report says that the airtime was "unbelievable" intense, nearly extreme... may be it will be one coaster for the next European coaster Trip here is the link to the report: www.coastersandmore.de/rides/wildtrain/wildtrain.shtml

sorry, i had to make a post out of topic... but i`ve read that you going to make dvds or videos... i made videos and animation too. so if you need some one who produces you dvd-menus or other animations... ask me i`ll love to do it in my free time. i always wanted to cut a movie or make animations with rollercoaster theme but hadn`t had any material to do this -

In the past Mack was known for family rides and coaters. But Mr. Mack himself said in an interview that the market wants more thrilling coasters and so they decided to build thrilling ones. Thrilling rides combined with the Mack quality will be one of the best things i`ve ever heard in the coaster world and by the way, it will be much cheaper for mack if they produce such kind of the rides by them self... and they get a better market position against their competitors -

Kooky replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
yeah it surely will be.... i have a friend which life near waldkirch germany, where Macks manufactures his coasters. the last days he has seen the new rails which are seen on this ad: the rails were in a rough status and were not painted, but they were surely the same ones like seen on this picture! (hope its okay that i post this picture here a second time... sorry to the admin for the last new topic!!) i hope this coaster will have controlled turning trains and a dark ride part...(have you seen the lamp in the hand of the women) and Mr. Mack said in an old interview, that they build sth. special thrilling with a darkride part. But the track design in the backround looks really nice. the translation of the text, hope its right: "discover the pure energy! - the new rollercoaster 2009" -
EuropaPark announced a new thrilling steel-rollercoaster for 2009 which should have some worldwide unique features. We know not much and there are just some rumors... one is that it will have a darkride part and one other that says that the trains can make controlled turns during the ride (like the "Euro-MIR"). The park has started a mysterious campaign... whats seems to be fact is that the coaster will be launch coaster an it will speed up to 100 Km per hour in 2.5 sec.. And it seems to have a tophat and many other driving figures like looping corkscrew or a cobraroll. About the height is not much known, most rumors think about 45 meters. the prize for the ride will be 25 million euro (ca. 39 million dollar) , 11 mil. euro for theming an 13-14 for the coaster. Here is the first ad:
