Whoa! That looks amazeballs!

[simon8899]

Gerstlauer has at least two amazing projects to finish this spring...

[SharkTums]

Very cool!

Why do they have the green tarp over the track? To keep the paint from fading before the opening or to keep debris off the track during construction?

Hi there.

The green trap is there to protect the track during construction.

[Kooky]

Some new pics from http://worldofcoaster.de/index.php/tripsdrill/karacho of the construction area. I like the indoor parts and hope it will get a nice darkride section

Edit:

Some facts from the report:

The coasters name is "Karacho" and it wil have cars for 8 people with "lap bars"

After the station you directly roll into the heartline roll which will be underground -->hangtime

the you will be the first block breaks and a little drop directly into the launch! after this you will be launched into a 30 meter high tophat and then the rest of the layout is not public yet. But overall it should have 4 inversions. lenght of the track will be 700 metres and you will be launched in 1.6 secounds to 100 km/h. capacity will be ca. 900 people per hour.

I'm being reminded of Fluch von Novgorod from Hansa Park when I look at the dark ride section of the photos and that is a good thing even if this ride doesn't have a past vertical drop. Should be really fun.

[Moose]

Does this have a dark ride portion too or is it just indoors or in the dark?

[kadabrium]

100kph in 1.6s?

[SharkTums]

Wow, this seems like a very big undertaking for a small/medium size park. Can't wait to check it out! Do we have any announcement of an opening date?

[Hhappy]

Do we have any announcement of an opening date?

 

I believe it will be sometime this summer.....

Since there is little to no twist so far, then it might end up like that stall turn that they have on Blue Fire. Hard to tell really, we just have to wait and see.

I read somewhere that it will have the same tophat as Lynet, only bigger.

[gisco]

This ride looks pretty cool. I like that it has both an indoor and outdoor section.
