Cloud Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 A few new simulation Videos on http://mack-rides.com/c223/default.html with some scenes of the dark ride part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Looks pretty cool from those photo's. It's nice to see the park are trying to theme this like they are (not that we didn't expect it lol). Thanks for the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think, after seeing these Animations, we don`t have to ride this thing for real...hmmm? GeorgeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 ^ Good point, why should we go all over the world riding these things when we can just watch a video of it on Youtube. (Unless you meant something else assuming that English isn't your first language) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It was irony...and I thought it would be clear...! Besides...in reality there`s more theming than you see in those animations. For example: You`re driving through a tunnel right before you reach the first Corcscrew...it`s not there in the Video...but there are more differences... But maybe the Speed that we saw in the Testing-Video is the final one...but i still hope it will be faster though... Greeds...GeorgeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeT Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It was irony, ideed, but sometimes I really think that you take away something of the experience that you have when you are riding a Coaster for the first time WITHOUT seeing a Simulation or even an Onride Video before... GeorgeT P.S. Thanks for this polite reaction, Mr. Gumbo. Rrrrrrrespect ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 there is a new video from some tests with rollbacks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLine Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 It's weird to me to see video of the train is only running with one set of seats attached, the rest are just the train chassis... I don't really see the point unless they can't break them in with anymore weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This coaster has really surprised me. Every time I saw more pictures and more of the ride being built it has looked better and better, and now after seeing these animation videos of the complete layout and ride, it looks amazing. Everything about it, the elements, the pacing, the speed, it has a ton all in one ride. This will be a great ride for Europa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFjunkie2010 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 This ride looks AMAZING. It is going to be a great addition to Europa Park and I want to return to Germany to ride this ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 here are all facts from the coaster! They corrected the minimum height from 1,40 to 1,30meters.

Cloud Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 There is a quiz too on the EP Fansite for 4 spots on the first ride dated on the 1.4. So it looks like the Park is pretty sure about the opening date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force! Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 This ride is of great interest to me and looks amazing. If this ride proves to be as good as it looks, we could possibly see more installations of this type from Mack in the future elsewhere around the world.

GeorgeT Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 For those of you, who understand "a little" german... "Darüber hinaus verfügen die Sitze der Züge über ein revolutionäres High-Tech-System, das innovativ Audio- und Spezialeffekte kombiniert. Die raffinierte Multimediatechnik spricht alle Sinne an und lässt die Fahrt im neuen Megacoaster zur Sensation werden." This is a part of a press-text that from the europa-park itself. It says : "Furthermore the seats will have a revolutionäry high-tech-system, that will combine audio and "special"-effects in an innovative way. The sophisticated multimedia technique will appeal to all senses and will make the new megacoaster a sensation." That sounds good, doesn`t it`???

CHILLERLC1 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm glad it could pull off a roll that Maverick could not. I like the first few elements particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
