This looks funky, I can't wait to see the full layout. Are we expecting a switch track like on Pantheon and Toutatis?

The only other inverts I rode were Black Mamba, Nemesis Inferno and Batman at SFMM. They always seem to be too intense for me personally (not the best blood pressure) but OzIris was the perfect combination of fun and intensity. Loved it!

There is still one somewhere in Germany or France I think, I saw a Vlog on Youtube.

I'm so glad I was able to ride Montezooma when it was in it's original state

OzIris at Parc Astérix, might be one of my new favorites.

Makes the most sense as the one shown this time doesn't have the top hat near the roundabout that was shown in the official teaser. By the time they will show the official layout we'll have about 7 new scrapped concepts

Part 2 of the documentation about the new coaster dropped and I must say I am extremly confused. They showed some of the POV and the trains. At least one of the 7 Trains seems to have the last row facing backwards. I can't quite decipher it from the visual they showed. When they were done showing some POV they suddenly mentioned that they have some changes that they didn't want to show yet. The layout was vastly different from the one that "leaked" weeks ago. If this is the true layout tho, I'm impressed. It looks far better than the "leaked" one. Please look for yourself: Other than that they were on the MACK Rides factory facility and showed some track for another project. They will start to build the coaster itself in the park in January 2023.

Europa Park released their first episode of the "DIE BAUDOKUMENTATION" or the construction documentation: https://www.veejoy.de/de/serien/o-die-baudokumentation/wie-alles-begann They don't disclose anything in detail about the ride but there is one very interesting part. Remember the rumor some years ago that they are planning to put a coaster in the middle of the park in 2022 / 2023? They actually planned it for the England section at first and they also show a few seconds of POV of this could have looked. They also state that, although the layout is not identical, it's similar and the new coaster for Croatia is even longer than the one proposed for England. The general experience should be similar which leads me to believe, that they were already sure of the coaster type. Other than that, they are teasing that they will disclose the length, inversions and other details in the next episode. No visuals of the new coaster were given. Stay tuned for next month

The last one is for Gröna Lund in Sweden.

Wow, I'm so dumb I didn't even notice that the layout in the trailer is Lost Gravitys... I was wondering where this "as long as Silver Star Layout" went lol, thanks for making that clear

Here's the link to the video if anyone is interested: https://www.veejoy.de/

Europa Park just showed off a tiny teaser for the new coaster based in a new themed area Croatia. By the looks of the teaser, it seems like they are indeed going for an infinity coaster approach. One Big Dipper train with four rows. The teaser is available on their streaming platform VEEJOY.

Thank you very very much @VegasBaby & @KarlaKoaster Great to hear that the train ride is no problem from Barcelona. I'll also check the route through Reus as this sounds extremely convenient. I'd probably combine a stay in Barcelona as well as a stay at the on site resort so I can freely choose how many days are enough but 3 sounds about right. I always do every attraction, even the kiddie rides.

Hey Everybody I have a question. I want to visit PortAventura this year. However neither me or my companion have a drivers licence to rent a car. What is the best way to get to the park from an international airport (probably Barcelona) and can you recommend a stay at the PortAventura Hotel? Also, how many days do you think are enough to experience everything the Park(s) have to offer?

I can confirm that in order to survive Dubai you need to act as if you were childhood best friends otherwise, not good.

I do think what's meant is that you can decide how fast you want to go to a desired height

They are just going for tallest in the UK which I can totally look over if there is a fun layout after the big drop.

The consultation has been uploaded alongside some renderings of the proposed coaster. Looks very Mack / Intamin to me but they said that they haven't decided a manufacturer yet. https://www.thorpepark-consultation.com/the-proposal

Is this for scrap or unfinished new track / supports?

FLY at Phantasialand, I must say, I didn't like my very first ride (2nd to last row) but that was mainly due to me not having eaten anything and almost throwing up But the next few rides towards the front and middle were awesome!

I know this is US based but for me personally, living in Switzerland is sooo weird. Home of the big manufacturers but all we have is a PAX creation. A good one, but still weird. At least we have Europa Park really near us

As reported by the "Schwarzwälder Bote", there are now concrete indications of the new coaster. According to the report, the local council of Rust has plans of the new ride. These show that it is to be a further developed version of "Big Dipper". The first ride of this type was opened at the Walibi Holland theme park in March 2016 under the name "Lost Gravity". On this ride, the short trains will use LSM to reach speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour. They said that it will have nearly the same capacity as Silver Star and be shorter than Blue Fire which leads me to believe that the next generation of Big Dipper actually will feature trains instead of the single cars. Also, Mack had announced that a new themed area would also be built with the new roller coaster. This is to be built near Greece and Russia (behind Euro-Mir, next to Poseidon). The theme is currently unknown but the rumors have it that it will be themed to Croatia. We'll have to wait and see as there's no build permit as by now. Nevertheless, I'm excited for what's to come.

this comment aged really well

What about that new compact Intamin launch coaster?

Hey I really like the new and improved forum! Maybe I'm blind but is the "go to last read page" button gone? I always used that
