For those, asking about the safety restraints: Lap-bars ONLY. NO seat belts.

 

YES!

 

Nothing better just a lap bar between you and possible coaster ejection, LOL!

My home coaster is just with lap bars, and has been that way for over 50 years.

It rocks, that way.

 

But - must get back here, eventuallly.

So with this pics the name "Wodan - Timbur Coaster" is officially confirmed

[Jackie Chan]

^Yes! And Wodan it is...

When looking back at the artworks released by the park earlier I can imagine what parts of the ride they reveal. Except for this one:

It looks like two fire spitting sculptures sitting on both sides of the track. Isn't that exciting!?!

Does anyone have an idea of what they are and where they will be? We will hopefully find out more about those guys soon.

[cal1br3tto]

^They'd better be serious about that. Even without fire, it would look ultra-cool, but with it? Completely amazing.

[sammmmmy]

^^ I can see that being a part of the station fly-through.

[Ramius]

This will never be at the station fly-through!

 

The sculptures will spit fire and i think the sculptures will be at the top of the lifthill.

[Bryce232]

I think it would fit pretty well coming out of the station fly-through

[Jackie Chan]

^I thought so too. Right after the station fly through there is a little bunny hop part before entering the Atlantica turnaround. I think it would very well fit at the top of it.

It will be interesting to see TüV's reaction (the notoriously strict German safety authority) to fire effects on this wooden coaster... Although the fact that GCI / Magic Mountain already made it work probably helps!

[jonnyfingers]

^ I agree. Fire and flammable material are not exactly best friends!

[Kooky]

It will be interesting to see TüV's reaction (the notoriously strict German safety authority) to fire effects on this wooden coaster... Although the fact that GCI / Magic Mountain already made it work probably helps!

 

Yeah, like you said... the german TÜV is really notoriously strict and i can't imagine that they will allow this, but i hope i was wrong and they get a permission to build this nice theming! I know from paint which makes things more fire resistant, but fire so close to wood, even if they statues are built out of another material, i am not sure that they will really built this like they painted it in the artwork... but like i said, i hope they will do

Maybe, if the German Safety Authority turns down the idea, they can use Dare Devil Dive "fire" instead.

[RoCo]

^Yes! And Wodan it is...

If this is planned for the top of the lift hill, then it is FULL OF GODLIKE WIN.

That is one big CGI!

[cal1br3tto]

I just can't shut up about this ride. Don't I know someone within driving distance of the park?

 

I know it's a GCI, but some of those hills and turns just look so...evil.

[Viggen]

What a beautiful skyline rises up in Rust:

 

[televisedconfession]

That's an awesome looking drop. I can't wait to get on this ride.

[coaster_dude2002]

Really looking forward to checking this out next year! It just keeps on looking better and better.

[Moose]

I know it's only a wintertime addition, but I really like the look of the giant Ferris wheel.

[alpengeist04]

I can see why this park is a fan favorite. Heck, just by looking at pictures and povs, this park is probably in my top 5.

[BaMiTsPaT]

The new GCI really adds to the skyline! I love how it is set between Supersplash and Blue Fire. Can't wait to see the pov of this ride when it opens.

[Team Thriller]

This ride is going to look stunning at night!

 

So sexy.

This GCI looks absolutely stunning! Europa is very high up (if not tops) on my list of European parks I'd like to check out someday. That is one impressive looking skyline, and the effort they put into theming their rides looks top-notch!
