Europa Park Discussion Thread

^I believe that the noise was the main reason they chose the new wheel type! Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though.

 

This thing flies through the course... I need to ride it!

I cannot wait to try this out in September!

Nope...that`s correct !

 

Hmmm...well hopefully the ride will stay that fast

 

(EDIT : Robb/Elissa...as you seem to know everything in advance : Will GCI have to slow the ride down...what do you guess ? Cause if it will stay that fast...or if it will be even faster during the summertime...I guess this will be far more intense than the other coasters at Europa...)

[RCT3Bross]

Looks good. Looks that it has a great speed in it also. Can't wait for the trains to get there theming and then some pictures of them riding the track.

[GeorgeT]

Best Video so far...put together from different angles...and with a good sound Quality...love it !

 

(Sorry for posting so many, guys...!)

Don't apologize! Thanks for sharing!

[vacoaster09]

I wish I could ride every GCI in the world.

[chickenbowl]

Looks really fun. Apocalypse's first drop is great and I'm sure this one is too!

[KC_Engineer]

Okay this just looks incredible. Absolutely BOOKING it through the course and quiet as a mouse with those urethane wheels. GCI continues to out-do themselves!

[Jackie Chan]

I don't think this has been posted. It's another video of the first test run and definitely worth watching.

[australianalex]

Awesome! Definitely looks like it'll be the best GCI to date! Looks like 2012 is the year of awesome coasters, with Shambhala, Skyrush, OzIris, Verbolten, Levaithan and now Wodan.

[cal1br3tto]

Goodness gracious. That sure does look promising!

 

I like the recent night shots, too. Then again, what photos of this coaster aren't stunning?

[READYdot]

I sure hope this feels as smooth as it looks!!!

[kunpc1]

This coaster just looks like a piece of art. Amazing eye on the person that took those shots at night. I'm really looking forward to seeing if it keeps up this pace once it's open to the public.

New video (with part of an onride)

 

[simon8899]

Looks good....already booked my 3-night / 2 day stay for end of september.

[GeorgeT]

Although I have to say that I like the video VERY much...I`m missing those airtime moments (camelbacks) in that onride...also the view down the first drop and into the first trench !!!

[coasterfreak101]

The end of the Blue Fire turn, where it kicks up, hops down and speeds through that tunnel is so good. And then when it hops up into the station and banks right instead of straightening out? I'm sold.

I would LOVE to know who`s idea that was...cause I really do think it`s a little crazy and will probably FEEL crazy.

 

I was there when Wodan was testing for the first time...and the most spectacular impression was how fast it`s going through the station. I always thought the station building would be open to the sides...but when I first saw the quite little entrance hole...I just went

 

Still not shure if it will be that crazy intense as I expect it to be

[televisedconfession]

See, I'm so happy to see coasters like this still being built throughout the world, because coasters like this, re-affirm my faith in truly amazing rides. Some of the US coasters, as intense they may have seen, have really disappointed me recently, because so few of them are being built to the quality like this ride. It's well done, well laid out, and sexy as hell. Every year there is at least one of them, but this one I'm super excited for.

[Gigalyte]

Wow that does look pretty freakin amazing the speed this thing carries through out it's course is just crazy. I look at this and think why couldn't that be Apocalypse, I love Apoc but after seeing Wodan who couldn't help but to be a little jealous

[Nrthwnd]

Looks - breathtaking.

 

The fly-thru the loading station (?)

from POV and outside, looks insane!

 

Europa appears to have another big hit

in their already wonderful park, IMhO.

 

[kunpc1]

Wow, hopefully that speed keeps up once the ride opens to the public! Europa Park keeps adding great attractions that are making it harder and harder to push off a flight over there!
