Nrthwnd Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hansa could be going the same way as it did with Fluch Von Novgorod. We got to ride it, partially-themed, back in 2009 on the TPR Tour. Loved it! Then we returned last year, and re-rode it with everything finished. Still awesome, but WOW with all the immersive theming and all! Even better!!! They may go this way, with the new one, as well. Open it before all the theming (and painting) is finished. Fluch. In 2009, before all the outside/inside was finished up. A great coaster then...and now.
Sneaky Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I believe the park has stated that Kärnan's (the coaster) tower will be themed after the real Kärnan tower in Helsingborg, Sweden: As others have stated before, this will happen next year.
Norwegian coasterfan Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I found a picture of the layout on Hansapark-fanseite's Facebook. Looks great
Paradox Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 That looks amazing! I can't wait to see how Gerstlauer pulls off their first hyper!
StealthFan Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The 2nd half of this coaster looks really close to the ground so you would hope it will deliver some really good airtime! I will be interested to see the finished products in a couple of years when all the theming is complete as Novgorod was really well done when 100% finished.
viking86 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Very interesting to see how much of the ride is close to the ground. Should provide a very fast paced ride. Think I have to head down to Germany in 2016...
KingRCT3 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Here is a better image of the layout: From here, I made a quick representation in NL2, not 100% accurate, but I think the main shape is here:
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Looks really good, but I have to say I was expecting a more creative layout. Still, it could be a really great ride when the theme is 100% done. Congratulations to Gerstlauer!
linearinduction Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Looks really good, but I have to say I was expecting a more creative layout. Still, it could be a really great ride when the theme is 100% done. Congratulations to Gerstlauer!Probably had to do with Money. Thanks KingRTC3! If that Drop inside the Tower is in the Dark, that's going to be Awesome!
I305forever Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 ^^ Doesn't look like the kind of layout gerstlauer would come up with, especially the second half. Also, how many inversions does this ride have? I couldn't tell form the video.
KingRCT3 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 It's an unusual ride for Gerstlauer, per say. The inversion count should be one, a heartline roll (?) during the dark-ride portion, which is not included in my simulation. Any other elements that can look like inversions are in fact overbanked turns.
KarlaKoaster Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 They look like extremely overbanked turns to me (like 120 degrees) but it's hard to know as the horizon goes out of view which is our only reference point. It's definitely not clear to me either from the animation or the layout. I guess KingRCT3 knows best from the POV of the animation as he created it. Also I guess it's opening a whole can of worms to debate whether an extremely overbanked turn is an inversion or not. I always think the same about the little immelman on Black Mamba because although your bum goes over your head, it's not fully upsidedown.
BDG Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 We'll know soon enough. But if the promo poster is accurate, don't expect anything overbanked.
KingRCT3 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Consider yourself lucky, OCEM just released an exclusive 3D look at the layout! OCEM So actually the two peaks of the heart-shaped thing are not overbanked (it's NOT a roll over, zoom in and follow the track), and then my layout was kinda correct.
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 ^ I was really excited for the twisted airtime hill on your layout, seems like Gerstlauer is taking things slowly this time.
KingRCT3 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Here's a revised version of my POV according to those new renderings:
I305forever Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 ^ Oh I see they're pretty much just twisty hills.
I305forever Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 ^ Looks like it will judging by the animation.
Derek_Zoolander Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 ^You do realize that's KingRCT3's basic interpretation of the layout in NoLimits 2 and not an actual animation, right?
I305forever Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 ^ I know but it is based of a layout the park came up with.
