vekoma_fan Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I wish norway could get coasters like this, buuuut noooo!!! Norway is stupid!
Loefet Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Supports and a more track have been delivered. More pictures at: http://www.rcdb.com/ig4309.htm I spy something Purple... Really tight stuff.
matteocrepaldi Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Nice Intamin track! I have a couple of questions; hopefully they are not too random. Does Intamin fabricate the track and supports for all its coasters in one place (in Germany, I think)? Does Intamin produce track in Europe for more than one ride at the same time?
Loefet Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 ^ The HQ and European division is based in Wollerau, Switzerland. I have no idea on how they produce their coasters but I would guess one at a time, since it would be easier to keep track of all the parts.
Olov Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 The webcam is now up and running but nothing to see yet except for the cleared ground. Webcam
johannalaforge Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 When I see the pictures of the arriving tracks, I just get too excited to wait any longer! I really can't wait for the 2009 season to begin, especially since both Gröna Lund AND Liseberg's got new rides
Loefet Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 especially since both Gröna Lund AND Liseberg's got new rides Your forgetting the world's first coaster at Skara Sommarland and the first coaster at Kolmården. 2009 seems to be the best year for Swedish amusement parks yet. I hope that they start building this thing soon...
silvercrew1 Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I love that really tight track. Looks like whoever will ride this is in for some serious spinning!
apanbl92 Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 It's gone vertical! Some of the violet supports are up! Check out the webcam: gronalund.com
Anfronee Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Has anyone else followed another Zacspin being built? Is it a relatively quick build? I understand that all coasters are pretty complicated to build, just wondering with the completely Vertical layout if that made the construction more complicated, or if it made it easier since it is all one one straight line?
matteocrepaldi Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Just keep an eye on the webcome. It started to get vertical! Nice!
Loefet Posted February 14, 2009 Author Posted February 14, 2009 The first piece of track is installed and the station area is on it's way. Source
Loefet Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 There are some images from the erection of the first pair of supports on RCDB. Just look at that!! RCDB
Kooky Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 some track parts were installed: source: http://gronalund.com/
Loefet Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Is it just me that hopes that they change the view of the webcam when they start to get higher, since some parts are soon going to disappear out of view.
ajinaz Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Now that the ground supports are in this thing is flying along. At the rate they are going today, this thing will be done by next week. It looks like they have 2 more track pieces before they go up another level.
Loefet Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Not much more to see here now... Oooo, what just happened, did the Gröna Lund people change the angle. So the rest of the construction will be on a slant... Wonder how long it will be until they have to change the view again. EDIT1: It didn't take them long to change it, I have to say that this view is superb and the sun won't interfere with that camera as it did before in the evenings, but if they had tilted it slightly downwards then it would have been even better. Mmmm, not much to do now. EDIT2: Looks like my word is their law Absolutely perfect image!! I can't wait for this thing to open now!!
matteocrepaldi Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I'd love to ride one of these. I can't say if they are good or not.
coasterqueen13 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 ahh that looks so fun! i want a zacspin here in america
Nrthwnd Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 It looks like they're making sure everybody is getting a good look-see at how the construction is going, with the webcam changing angles and viewpoints. Which is great! Oh, I hope this is up and running when we get there in June on the tour. Can't wait!
Loefet Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 ^ The opening date specified on the Gröna Lund home page is the 25:th of April, so there is plenty of time for screw ups After adding loads of supports yesterday evening, they started the day with track-work. The MCBR have been installed with wheels and everything.
SharkTums Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Wow, it's crazy how fast this is going up! Very cool! I almost feel confident that I'll finally get on one of these!
Loefet Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 ^ They managed to add a substantial bit after lunch today. If they keep on going like this then they might be done tomorrow. They have done a lot in the afternoon, now it's only the top part left.
