  1. This really depends. The erection process can be more difficult for some than it is for others. It's nothing any one manufacturer should be ashamed of though. Coaster erection has a somewhat different meaning for enthusiasts. To take make an attempt at answering the first question. On coasters with a lift hill, often the first testrun(s) are performed with a slow lift chain speed. Later in the testing stage they will speed it up to the eventual lift speed. Also, new coasters that haven't made many rides yet tend to be somewhat slower. I guess they have to be broken in somewhat. This also applies to the wheels of the coaster. The compound of the wheels also influences the speed, with softer compounds providing more friction and thus a lower speed. On some coasters (B&M's for example) they change the wheel compound during testing.
  2. ^They could've also placed it near Cobra, the Boomerang.
  3. This is also arriving today: Source
  4. My father is an amateur sculptor and he decided to make me a rollercoaster out of stone (serpentine). Here are a few pictures of the result:
  5. Xpress: Platform 13 at Walibi Holland, preceded by several rides on Goliath.
  6. I was at the park today and took some pictures. I took them quite hastily, so they're not great.
  7. Walibi Holland coming friday, because I won 2 tickets. That means: Goliath!
  8. ^Considering the rockwork is basalt, wouldn't it be a Lava Trax?
  9. very little is known about the coaster, but looking at the mess of footers that has been poured, it won't be the same as the Walibi Belgium ride.
  10. There has been no announcement today, nor is it known when (or even if) they will announce it.
  11. Those are some great pictures. By the way, you call the spinning coaster a Gerstlauer, but it looks more like a Maurer to me?
  12. My last coaster is Dwervelwind at Toverland. Had some really great spinning rides that day. Very fun little coaster.
  13. My last new coaster is Troy at Toverland.
  14. My last new coaster is Joris en de Draak Water in Efteling.
  15. My last one is Baron 1898. Really nice ride, especially on the right side. Edit: here's a picture I took:
  16. The heartlineroll will be after the brake run, as can be seen in this picture: Source: http://www.hapa-forum.de The top of the picture shows the brake run, with the roll happening right after entering the building.
  17. ^I've read on a dutch forum (themepark.nl) that it's open.
  18. I believe the park has stated that Kärnan's (the coaster) tower will be themed after the real Kärnan tower in Helsingborg, Sweden: As others have stated before, this will happen next year.
  19. ^That's correct (Though the coaster I used to draw the layout is Mirage Rosso in Zoosafari Fasanolandia) Your turn.
  20. Condor is also the only other 662m Prototype like T2/T3, which is slightly different than the standard SLC.
  21. This would be the last credit I'd want.
