COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Thats interesting, I just looked at the Google maps view of the area because I wanted to know where in the park this was going, and there appears to be houses right next to the spot they want to put the ride. I wonder if the neighbors have any say in this, lol. Could you imagine a show building right in your back yard? Haha.

SoCalCoasters Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 ^From the concept work we've seen so far it looks like the outdoor portions of the powered coaster will be on the side facing the park, eliminating potential noise issues like those they were experiencing with Woodan. In terms of construction noise and such...who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And consequently possibly lowering property values) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Those buildings next door... aren't those housing facilities for staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 No clue, are they? lol. 2 buildings on that street (one on each side of the street) show as hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 ^ gotcha, looks like the staff housing buildings are not on that side road but on the big road leading towards the hotels.. I assumed the building would be closer to those and not the the small side road.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aveko Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I hope I dont bump this thread up without a reason but I couldnt find any information about the 2013 improvements on TPR.

This is step two of the three level expansion. Step three will be the new darkride some of you talked about a few posts before. 2.

tbo2 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Can anyone recommend any good places to stay for Europa Park for 2 friends? Either one of the hotels in Europa Park or outside it in nearby towns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I found this on the german TV, you can watch it for a few more days in the media store. It`s a documentary about Roland Mack and his way of managing Europa Park ! And although only little of you will understand what is said, there are soooo (!) many wonderful scenes of Europa Park...Day and Nighttime...there`s Wodan, theres Bell Rock, Dinner in the sky...just wonderful to look at IMHO AND (!) theres a scene where the plans of Artur-The ride are shown...looks detailled and GOOD ...it`s at 22:12 minutes. And don`t forget to choose HQ Mode ! Have fun guys...and it there are concrete questions what was said in any scene...it will be a pleasure for me to translate ! http://swrmediathek.de/player.htm?show=e77242f0-8ff9-11e2-8113-0026b975f2e6 Greeds...GeorgeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks for sharing GeorgeT. I'm usually no big fan of interviews or documentaries but this one I wanted to sit out. I truly enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 That artist rendition of the Europa-Park Confertainment Center looks way too detailed and nice.....unless you've been to Europa Park and know that it probably will look that amazing! Looks like so great stuff for Europa Park. Definitely one of the best parks in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteocrepaldi Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Is it just the queue line they are redesigning or are they doing something to the ride as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's truly amazing how incredibly themed that park is. That area looks even more amazing than before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 they showed the layout and theming plan of their new attraction in a german tv-show.... looks really nice... i especially like the tunnel were you drive through the stomach of a caterpillar.

Blue Fire Guy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Great looking layout! Any coaster that involves getting eaten by something, going through its intestines, and getting crapped out is automatically awesome. Just one of many, MANY reasons why Europa is so amazing!

RCT3Bross Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Are there really 2 coasters, or do I really look wrong on the plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 ^ I think it's just 1 ride that consists of 2 coaster sections, seperated by dark-ride sections. I'm really curious how this ride will turn-out. It looks like it could be a really fun ride. ~Sneaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm excited by this. I trust Europa to plan a fun, VERY HIGH capacity ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The capacity of the ride will be 10.000 - 12.000 people per day. So it's all but not high capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well it will be a powered coaster, but I know that Mack now can build those with multiple trains operating, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. Hopefully we will see some really big inverted rides from Mack in the future, who can actually give those big B&M's a run for their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
