I had the Chance to take a look at Blue Fire "live" a few days ago. Man, this Coaster is a Beauty ! Seems as if the Pics are unable to show how shining the Color of the track is. I looked at the overbanked Curve just after the Loop from different angles...this is definitively "Maverick-style"...amazing ! And I cat`t help but ask my self how the reactions will be, especially in THIS Community, when Blue Fire opens and the first feedbacks will appear... AND : I wonder if this Coaster has the Potential to enter top five, maybe even top three in the forthcoming Steel Coaster Poll... Man, I`m so curious... GeorgeT

It`s the same Testing-Video that was posted before... GeorgeT

Hi Beany (Welcome...!)... Well, the flight to Basel (the next Airport) won`t be expensive, so if you`ll find the time...see us in Germany !!! GeorgeT

And somehow unbelievable that the park still calls it a "Family-Coaster". Hard to believe, hmmm ? GeorgeT

So...on the one hand, the final speed isn`t reached yet...BUT : The track lengh of the first hill and the first inversion is huge...in my experince you realize the real speed of a coaster when you ride it...the big ones often look slower from the outside than they are. Well, we`ll see... GeorgeT

Hello Everybody... My Name ist GeorgeT and this is my first post in this Community. It took some time to read the whole thread about the Blue Fire Coaster, but I have to say it was worth every second. I would like to thank all of you so much for all the enthusiasm that you put in your posts. I`m a member of the Onride-Community, and, of course, we like the way, the Coaster develops, but your Comments were MUCH more enthusiastic than the ones in the Onride-Community, and I think this Coaster is worth it. I live very close to the Europa-Park so I saw the Coaster live several times. Of course, it´s not the biggest Coaster in the world, it`s not the highest nor the fastest, but here really comes so much together that makes a good and intense ride...and somehow I am a little bit proud that a german Company is doing such excellent work. Rumours said, it would be about 2000 meters long...so I was a little bit disappointed, when it tourned out to be "just" about 1000 meters long...cause I LOVE long tracks... BUT : By now, I think that Mack really does everything to create 1056 meters with MAXIMUM intensity...the ride will be some kind of "rush"...and : If you take a look at the heights, you`ll see that the "trimbrake" is very low, it`s a lot lower than the loop...so I`m shure there will be an awesome amout of negative g`s BEFORE you reach the brake. Wherever you look at this track, the whole thing will be very intense until the last second. AND THE (MANY) TUNNELS... I`ll better stop now. Hope to see you in Germany. I`ll be there...
