Jds03 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well, it looks to me like there's going to be some kind of competition between Mack and Intamin in the future. I'm just amazed really, this ride looks better than allot of Intamin launchers so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldredd Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Great Pics! The snow is a great addition to the 'Expedition' theme of the ride - and looks great on the rocks - shame it's not permanent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 BIG MASSIVE PICTURE UPDATE: here are wonderful new pics from the attraction, the theming and the rest of the park from http://frederic.cuntz.free.fr/EPKINGDOM/index.html.

the ghost Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 This still looks awesome, and I agree. This does look better than many Intamin launchers. If Mac pulls this off, and it looks like they should, there is no reason these launchers won't pop up everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Wow, those trains look even more open and spacious than they did in the renderings! I know I've said it before in here, but this thing looks so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sio Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 By this point, I advise you to ban my account and delete the pictures. NO PERMISSION WERE ASKED TO THE PARK MANAGEMENT OR THE PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT In the mail I sent you,I didn't speak of the fact that the photos were official or not.

robbalvey Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi everyone, I did hear back from Europa Park and they did tell me that the photos taken by "Sio" were NOT permitted by anyone in the parks management and they did not arrange a tour with any park officials. At best it sounds like they may have just asked random people who were in the area if it was "ok" to take pictures, and quite honestly not all your "front line" employees are going to know how to respond to a request like that. If this was actually the case, the park should be making sure that no one is allowed access to any construction site and the front line employees should not allow this. In the mail I sent you,I didn't speak of the fact that the photos were official or not. You implied that you had permission to take these photos. But not having proper permission, this goes against our site's ToS and most other groups code of conduct. I will inform everyone here now that just going up to a random employee to ask if you can do something, especially things like walking into a construction area, taking a camera onto a coaster, going backstage for ANY reason, is *NOT* something most employees are allowed to grant access to. You may be putting yourself at risk and the employee at risk for being kicked out of the park, banned from certain groups, or have their employment terminated. For what? A bunch of photos? It's not really worth it. Sio has been banned from the site for his actions as it should be common sense that if you're going to walk into a construction site, you need to talk to the parks management. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyblakbelt Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 In other news, the pictures are pretty. I cannot agree more. That coaster looks awesome. Even if most of their (Europa Park's) coasters are Macks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Unfortunate, but to be honest it doesn't suprise me Robb, one bit! If the official EPFans website does not have photo's quite so up-close and personal, then there is no way anyone else should or would have them. Shame, but I guess it keeps it more of a suprise for April 4th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popboy84 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I am disappointed the pictures have gone but i can understand that they shouldn't have been posted in the first place as they didn't have permission and it was dangerous walking around a construction site. I do admit i did like seeing the pictures i can not wait for April my first ride on Blue Fire with TTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 These pics were really great but in the official german europapark forum we had the same discussion about this illegal action. No one should do something like this... hopefully the park will present us soon some official pics with such nice details!! But it shows nicely that the park looks exactly what is posted in forums all over the world... ... some kind of viral marketing control! But now some new photos arrived.... not official but from outside of the building area, so enjoy these ones (source:http://www.lifthill.de/): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
