StealthFan Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wow is it me or is the ride incredibly quiet for a euro fighter. I don't think any of the euro fighters I have been on have been anywhere near as quiet as this. -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any of the euro fighters I have been on have been anywhere near as quiet as this. -Craig When I was at Thorpe Park I noticed that Saw the Ride was dead silent during testing. I think it's mainly the newer Eurofighters, as Speed No Limits at Oakwood has a very loud roar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Its could also be made that way. If they filled the track with a sound dampener it would be much more quiet. I think some rides use sand to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthFan Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Okay that train looked amazing lit up like that. I would love to see this ride run at night it should look amazing. -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fire Guy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Easily the sexiest Eurofighter trains I've ever seen, that lighting is just...wow! Bonus points for lap bars and no headbanging, and the layout looks really fun. The rest of Tripsdrill looks very nice, and is definitely a park on my bucket list, hoping to visit sometime in the coming years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 To me it looks like Karacho can actually put up a decent fight against Blue Fire, assuming it's not to rough, which I doubt it will be as most new Gerstlauer's don't have a problem with roughness, and this one has brad new developed and improved trains with the biggest wheels Gerstlauer have ever done on a ride. The length and the pacing seems to be about the same on both coasters. Really can't wait to try this one out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthFan Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 That was an interesting camera angle. The ride does look like a fun ride will be interesting to see what the whole area looks like once all work and theming is complete. -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

australianalex Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Shame, the MCBR seems to still slow it down a fair bit. But I'm sure it's still a great ride. Can't wait to see what it'll look like when the theming and decoration is done since I assume they're not leaving the station as a concrete box.

GeorgeT Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yep...the MCBRs effect looks a little annoying. Could it be that tripsdrill decided to slow the train down because otherwise it would habe been too intense ? Otherwise I don`t see a sense in slowing it down there...it not THAT fast when entering that brake ! BUT the first half looks brilliant IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dropzonefan Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 ^Woah!.. Haven't followed the construction of this beast for a while (used to before I joined). It's turned out great! Gerslaur really seems to be moving up in the industry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Catching up after being away for a few weeks... Karacho looks like another serious win for Gerstlauer. They're serious on a roll these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 ^I really didn't like it. It rode pretty awkwardly to be honest. Not rough or painful by any means, just more weird and uncomfortable. It seems to me like Gerstlaur still hasn't perfected their heart lining or something like that. Idk, just my thoughts. It probably didn't improve my opinion of the ride to see the park only running 2 of their 4 trains within two weeks of opening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
