What is your local park?
RCT3Bross replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My local park is The Efteling in the Netherlands. The only thing that worth to tell about this park is that it stands in the top 25 of the world most vised parks. The coasters are quite good to bad the park refuses a B&M they only have 2 Vekoma, 1 GCI, 1 Kumback and 1 Intamin Bobsleigh. Well I must say I sometimes wishes a lived in America or England because there are some parks there I really want to go to. But the Efteling is about a 45 minutes drive from my home. -

Think that everyone is right here that its about the normal Millennium flyer's trains. These pictures are a bit old but still worth the posting: Lead car train 1. Train 3 completely ready for transport. These are all from the Wodan coaster. They are from great coasters interns. As you can read all 3 trains are on there way or already there this was posted on GCII on 16th February by the current intern. But still they look like the normal trains. Must say station is looking good so far great work. -
Heide Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Sebbe's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Getting better every time. The 2 new arms are a bit strange. Going straight up and making a half circle and going straight to the ship? Wouldn't it be more real if they made a quarter circle and let the arm lie on the ship? I mean the idea was that the Kraken puled the ship to the depths, now it looks like he is holding the ship in place. -

^ Couldn't stop laughing about it. The reactions of the people where priceless. Great plan to get peoples attention and not a expensive one. Still laughing here can't stop. -
Heide Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Sebbe's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The original idea was that you fall in a mouth and would come out of a ship followed by the splash. Love the addition, the idea of falling vertical in a giant sea monster en burst out of a ship. So far I love how they are making it so far wonder when the giant mouth will where we'll be falling through. Have this nice picture from http://www.Heide-Park-World.de: -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I always thought the map was a bit loaded. But I love the figures in it some are really funny. At the Swarm site I discovered 4 or 5 new funny additions. This Park Plan you can't look at and don't see some guy in idiotic dresses or doing something idiotic or you'll see a animal. But I doubt that it's handy in the park because its so unclear how to get from a attraction to an other. But than again I've never visited the park yet so I don't know. -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well didn't see this coming. A building looking like a spider brings me one question: Why? Must say I like the station somehow, its nothing special but it isn't over done either. Can't wait for the start of this coaster. By the way they haven't announced the manufacture jet: did they? -
Europa Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Looking good. Love it that the queue-line really going underneath the bent in front of the first drop. I can see the rails (metal part) is well on it's way. Still wondering if they going to theme the Atlantica shield. But great news that all 3 trains are on there way. -
Efteling Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Pepper's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Small? The Efteling small? Well somebody didn't checked the top 25 from season 2010 the Efteling stands on that list 24 or 23 from the world, this is from hundreds of parks, so being so high means your are not a small park. The park is also the 3th on the list of best parks of Europa behind Disney and Europa Park. So it's not a "small" park. Aquanura will be a great addition to the park. Having some music from different attractions (like: De Indische Waterlelies, Carnaval Festival, Raveleijn, Spookslot, de Kikkerkoning.) will make the show a great attractive point. I love the trailer makes me want to go watch the show in real life. -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Looks great. I must say having real choppers, fire trucks and plane parts as theming looks very good. Also the details on them are great. Can't wait to see some pictures of the track running whit people whit some of the effects. -
Walibi Holland Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Fate in Walibi gone. I'm talking about the picture showing the (still) not finished Express. They started painting this summer and still they're not done yet. I'm mean they said the track will reopen in 2012 now I need to see that and I love to hear there excuse if they not going to make it. The park looks great in the snow must give it that. -
Well not as big as the most of u but I give it ago. Trying to accomplish: Heide-Park. Phantasialand. Walibi Belgium (lowest chance). Maybe: The Efteling. Nothing very interesting for 2012 but still doing some parks I haven't visited yet (the fat ones). More looking forward to 2013 first England trip.

Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Read somewhere the word Versteigerung what is German for "auction". I checked every letter and no one was left behind or wasn't there. So it could mean that the going to auction the boats. So no new attraction yet is quite logic knowing that the park wouldn't announce so far ahead. I mean there will not be a attraction there in 2012 it to close agenda. I think there building there a attraction for 2013 starting on time (say September or October 2012) whit a new attraction on that spot. The park would not announce a attraction for the 2013 season if the 2012 season still has to start. It's completely open again what the going to build there. So one's again I say something we saying all the time Itamin Aquatrax that would be a great choice. Edit: Yes it's the truth now they going to auction the boats under fans: As far I get it they going to action parts of the boats around fans the money would go to charity. This quote stands under the picture, meaning they going to put something new there and maybe it's a direction that it isn't a long-flume. Now I'm excited about the new attraction. -
Europa Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Guess that this is some direction of how they going to look. So complete black lap bar whit red seats and a wooden box (don't mean that its made from wood but themed as wood) in the front whit the name. I think its only the sides that would be chanced because I hate it when the copy the Troy one's. I like to see some originality in the theming and it looks silly the red seats whit the dark wooden sides. But no doubt they gonna look awesome. -

RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We finished part 1. Now it comes to the letters. They will raffle 1X2 Entry summer tickets: Now we need to guess the letters. What will it be what will it be? -
Europa Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Guess what was sent last Thursday. source: https://www.facebook.com/GreatCoasters Yeah the trains are on there way to Europa Park. To bad they need to be so packet-up for transport I really want to know how they look. Well just have to wait for it wouldn't take long I guess. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Reference to me I expect. I like there way of going but I thought it was a little bit to teasy sowing you that. Could nobody of you see that this picture was taken after removing the boats the boats are on dry ground. What I mean by it is that I think the puzzle just have started jet. This Reference to maybe the location so on the place where the Long-flume where standing. The letters are still to be puzzled out what word is behind the letters a name for the new ride or the type (and manufacture) of the new ride. Belief me this isn't over. Knowing Phantasialand this could go on for sometime longer. I'm still doubting that well see a other Long-flume ride it could go any way now. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Alright so we where being teased again by the park. I hate the park by that sort jokes but I love there rides. Now what are those letters for? I starting to get a headache from this puzzle. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well this was uploaded just minutes ago by Phantasialand. Well this is some what sad for the ones how expected the Aquatrax because this proves that it isn't Aquatrax. See the side of the boat(?) this doesn't look like on the Lotte World Aquatrax. But no doubt it would be a good water ride. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You have that feeling? I Don't know for sure but how I looking at it I see 2 rows if I look at the red arm(?) I think is see something on the background that give me the feeling there are 2 rows. I still hope the aquatrax so much. Well the don't hate to be predictable but they like to teas there fans, make them think the one while it's completely different. The park is one of the best in keeping secrets and teasing fans. But they prefer to have some rides that are not in the near area so a Aquatrax could be the one the build. -

RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
And again one block of the picture is filed in: Well guessing looking to it it looks like you'll be sitting next to each other and that a row of 2 3. I have the urge to scream it's a Aquatrax when I look at the picture. -
Europa Park Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to Ultracoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Why not? They both will not build a coaster that is worthy calling a family-ride. No they both build only Thrills some of a low level but always a Thrill. I had a ride on George and the Dragon one of the easy GCI coasters but it was worth to call it a low level thrill. B&M is probably the best steal coaster builder thanks to there unique coaster list (Flying, (only company that build) diving, stand-up and wing-riders). Also there rides are always smooth and comfortable. GCI is probably the best wooden coaster builder thanks to there unique building style (instead of make the bents prefab the construct the whole coaster on the construction site). There rides are a little rough through the fact the being build by hands what makes a wooden coaster feels like they must (my opinion) plus they have the most comfortable seats of all the wooden coasters. Both companies are specialist in one of the two types (steel or wood). So they are the same but also the complete opposite of each other. So Saying GCI is the B&M of Wooden coasters I'm in here whit Robb. Wodan looks also very Thrilling to me, but being the fastest wooden coaster of Europa has some expectations whit it. I'm quite curious about the trains. I've seen a lot of standard Millennium flyer trains but (definitely in Dutch parks) that the trains can be themed very good. I must say I think it is one of the best decisions to build a GCI wooden coaster from Europa park. -

^ This made me starting to think about a "anniversary gift". So maybe a attraction as a Anniversary gift? Just guessing here. Can't wait to find out what it is. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Seeing the people I don't think its a S&S Free Fly. Look at the arms they're not further than a angle of 90 degrees. The person on the picture is holding them wide up. By the way has someone els have the feeling it's a Asian on the picture? Don't know why because of the light coloring in the face ore the dark hair but I have a feeling she (ore he) is Asian. Edit:The red i was talking about. I read just a sec ago on a Dutch forum that it could be the seatings from Atlantis Adventure at Lotte World. Looking at it I could see the comparison. So who knows maybe it is a Aquatrax.
