australianalex Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Well I'll be in the region this September. Hopefully it hasn't blown up by then.
Meteornotes Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 This ride AND Flying Turns could open in the same year?!? Looks like the Mayans were about a year or so off in their world will end predictions... dt
619fan Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 How does LA Times know it, when there is no information in a german press. It would be a dream come true if this "thing" would really open this year. But to be honest, I can't believe it. I mean, how long are we waiting for this opening? It feels like 100 years. Best regards from Germany...
TyRush Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 This ride AND Flying Turns could open in the same year?!? Looks like the Mayans were about a year or so off in their world will end predictions... dt It seems a miracle is upon us
caffeine_demon Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Recently uploaded test video That rider looks happy anyway!
cfc Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Hmm--you'd think there would've been something in the news if it had, but who knows?
StealthFan Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Anyone knows whether Ringracer actually opened ? I didn't see it running during the recent Formula 1 race there at the weekend and that would seem like a pretty logical time for it to be running if it was going to open. -Craig
Hhappy Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Latest info (I've seen) was they are still working on getting some kind of permission/paperwork...
FreeFaller Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) I heard that the coaster isn't allowed to be operated during any races on the ''Nürburgring''. And it wasn't opened either Edited July 10, 2013 by FreeFaller
StealthFan Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 ^i could sort of see some reasoning behind that but I can also see that losing them serious money. It would make sense to me to open it before and after practise, qualifying and the race itself and just close it during the times when you have cars on track. I would love to see an F1 car and the coaster running side by side though. What a great shot that would be. -Craig
Gutterflower Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I miss the days where I tried to spot black out and mad cobra at Suzuka. This would be a good replacement.
FreeFaller Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Und wie steht es mit dem Ring-Racer, der zur Formel 1 wieder nicht an der Start gehen konnte? Der Coaster läuft. Er läuft sogar sehr gut. Alle TüV-Abnahmen wurden mit Bravour bestanden. Wir erwarten eine Genehmigung der Kreisverwaltung Ahrweiler. Vielleicht gibt es noch die ein oder andere zusätzliche Auflage, das werden wir sehen. Der Coaster ist betriebsbereit und geht auch in Betrieb. Source: http://www.rhein-zeitung.de/region_artikel,-Sanierer-Am-Nuerburgring-ist-nichts-ueberdimensioniert-_arid,1008580.html In English it means, that the coaster works! The coaster has passed all the tests the Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV) did and ''Nürburgring'' is waiting for the OK of the village ''Ahrweiler''. They maybe have to fulfill another test, but that hasn't been sure yet! Let's hope that this credit will open soon!
hansrubens Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I was there last weekend during the F1 event. No sign of RingRacer running though but I heard from an empolyee of Eifeldorf that it failed a test the week before. Hope it will be up and running the first weekend of september. ---Hans
Meteornotes Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I still think if this and Flying Turns open in the same year, the universe as we know it will end. Pretty sure the Mayans predicted this. dt

SharkTums Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 ^Yeah, but we don't care about it cause it's Australian!
Hhappy Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 ^they are still testing the ride (once a while new video and pictures show up online) No firm opening date known at this time
_koppen Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Same state now as before, testing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTp8fP2VlGE#t=21
gisco Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 ^The face cam on that video seems kind of dumb when it is just a dummy.
