Holiday Park Discussion Thread

I love seeing those traditional style track sections pop up on the new premiers again. Wish I could say that about the most recent styling of their trains.. Regardless I love this layout and it should be a fantastic addition! Seems like just what the park needed.

^I quite liked the design of the old trains too. They looked kind of chunky but there was something that made them great (I think being longer also made them more visually appealing)

First of all sorry for my bad englisch, I come from Germany

 

I saw the track completiton of the new coaster Sky Scream in Haßloch

 

I made a little movie from this track completiton:

Got this photo of part of the launch from coasterfriends.

This is the most exciting part of a coaster build for me; train delivery.

Why those side-covers though? Last month, the park said there would be no covers and no seatbelts.

[rcjp]

^Yeah I don't really see what's the point. The seats themselves seem pretty supporting (laterally) but then I've never tried those.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Premier trains look very "protective". Nice color!

Just throwing it out there, but could it be for theming?

[DJeXeL]

FT @ SFMM has those same side-covers. Doubt it's for any type of themeing. Stickers that say Sky Scream/Holiday Park maybe.....

It's a reach guard to prevent people from touching things they shouldn't be touching and potentially injuring themselves.

^my thought - I have seen Break Dancer in the US with small "doors" so riders cannot stick their feet out which I have never seen on European Dancers...

I really like the new look for the flume ride!

^Looking great - lets se what new effects will be added for the darkride parts...

The flume has a bit of a "Parc Asterix" vibe to it.

I didn't realise this part of the ride would have a tunnel.

You could see that on the scale model:

^Wow already testing? That was quick.

[glouthan]

Gosh the launch looks fast! I wonder if that is right out of the station (one launch) or after the first two launches (like superman at SFDK). Either way, this looks amazing, and the construction has flew by.

Two GREAT photos!

^The first one looks awesome. They also had an offride clip:

[cfc]

Yes, this definitely beats the hell out of the old Vekoma coaster it replaced. I like Premier's launched rides.

[rcjp]

Does anyone happen to know how many brake fins there are on the after the roll on SUF at SFDK? Because this one appears to go through the roll a bit faster so I'm wondering if the number of fins is the same or not, just out of curiosity.

By the way, there is a video on Coasterfriends from inside the station of a test run.

[Nrthwnd]

Mmmmm, time to get back to Holiday Park.

It seems like this one have more of a "downward slope" going through the roll.

 

It is most likely an adjustment since the prototype, to avoid this.
