Europa Park Discussion Thread

Where did you get these pictures?

There's a website with around 70 pictures of the model on it.

It was posted a few pages back, but there it is.

Just a note - that model has two transfer tracks inside that shed. I'm almost positive that all GCI transfer sheds only have one transfer track inside of them. There's a sign that we're looking at three trains here!

Exactly the thought we had on the Dutch forums! They like to go for decent capacity rides so I expect lines to move fast there.

The model of the ride is on display in the park, that's what Europa Park usually does when announcing/building a new ride or hotel. Currently on display are the new woodie and their new hotel 'Bell Rock'.

 

Looking forward to the TPR Europe trip, hopefully I can join for a few days!

New pictures from GCII's facebook page!!

I believe that this is the supports for the bottom of the first drop, followed by a quick tunnel. In the background we have the station building.

I love GCI construction! Can't wait to see this really start to take shape.

Going through that trench with more than 100 km/h will kick ### I guess. Well...the drop doesn`t look THAT steep...but hopefully the twistyness of the whole first drop will make up for that...

First drop...second half. SOURCE : EP Board !

That's a very big drop in a very small space for GCI! This looks great!

[Rollercoaster Rider]

I Guess that's it for Iceland. Is there any expansion possible Now in that area?

[SoCalCoasters]

Is it just me, or does this layout seem a tad bit short compared to what GCI usually builds?

 

I'm not sure if it's the overview, but it only looks like a thirty second ride. It will be an amazing thirty seconds however.

[GeorgeT]

If you`re talking about the picture that I uploaded three posts earlier...well...THAT looks more like a 5 seconds ride

 

Joking aside...it will definitively be more on the short side...but it`s more than 1000 meters long...so it`ll probably be okay like that. Maybe the coaster looks THAT small because it`s footprint is al littlebit bigger / longer compared to other GCI`s ???

 

Just a thought...

[Ramius]

The ride time starting from the top of the lifthill to the break must be at ~40 seconds.

Otherwise it will be impossible to have a throughput of 2000 pph.

The entry into that trench looks really intense!

No, this ride is just a lot more widespread.

I love watching woodie construction! Too bad I won't get a chance to ride this one any time soon

I was at Toverland today and a whole buch of people from Europa Park were there to shoot videos of Troy and record the sound of the coaster, so that they could use the recorded material to promote their new GCI. Pretty cool!

Here is an epic fan recreation of Mythos

 

[GeorgeT]

Hmmm...looks a little weak, right ??? I guess the tunnels and theming will add a lot to the ride experience...but the layout looks a little tame that way. But I have to say that I´m not shure if this recreation fits to the layout of GCI`s model...
