^ And Japan. Don't forget there are great (and many) creperies in Japan, too.

For example. TPR 2013 Japan Tour.

Thanks for the tips Elissa and cookiex! We are planning on arriving at 9 so it's good to know in advance that Fluch and Kärnan open at 10. Also now we can try to exploit the queues after closing time And we'll be sure to try the crepes!

Hanse-Flieger is finally going vertical.

 

 

 

The Wildwasserfahrt ride is getting a new name ("The Water Wolf of Lake Ilmen") and background music to thematically fit with Fluch Von Novgorod. The main signage hasn't been altered to reflect this change yet.

 

 

Kärnan's upper wall section is now complete.

 

 

More bricks on site assumed to be for the indoor queue section that is still closed off (the current queue is routed through the single rider entrance).

Hanse-Flieger is nearing completion

 

[CSLKennyNI]

Looks great!

Weren't they also going to put in a kiddie coaster called the Little Tsar (or something like that). Any sign of it so far?

Hasn't gone vertical yet unfortunately. The park seems to have had its hands full with Hanse-Flieger and Kärnan.

Kleine Zar has been delayed to early 2017. Issues with the approval process between the manufacturer and the TÜV regulations board means coaster parts won't be delivered until November at the earliest. The soundtrack CD and various souvenirs will already be available for purchase this month at the main gift shop near the park entrance, and parts of the soundtrack will be played near the construction site.

 

To make up for the delay a small children's ride will be installed shortly in the western area of the park.

 

Meanwhile Hanse-Flieger is almost finished and awaits the green light from the TÜV to begin testing, and the park hopes to have it up and running within one or two weeks.

^Shame that they've had to delay the coaster while next year, but at least they plan on adding something else to make up for it, that's certainly good.

Hanse-Flieger is now open. A newsletter from Hansa-Park says special water and lighting effects will be installed during the off-season, as well as seats for larger guests.

 

[Nrthwnd]

^ WOW! That's an amazing looking "top" to the wave swinger!

[cookiex]

The two new children's rides mentioned in the newsletter are now in place

 

 

[Nrthwnd]

It all looks very nice, and should be a nice part of framing the gardens,

and gardens gondola (spinning) ride there, behind them. Thanks for

sharing the recent photos!

First look at what's been done with the closed off section of Kärnan's queue.

 

 

 

Also the scaffolding for the tower is on the rise.

I found this video of a part of the new queue area of Kärnan and it seems as it is another preshow, and it looks awesome

 

SPOILER!

^ Even though I live in Pennsylvania I kinda want to buy a season pass just in case I end up by the Baltic Sea in 2017. Karnan alone is worth a weekend trip.

[christianscoasters]

^Check out WOW airlines. It's a budget airline out of Iceland and you can find extremely cheap flights to Europe... Sometimes as low as $200 round trip. They fly out of NYC.

[gerstlaueringvar]

^I opened the airline page and the low price instantly made my day so much better.

[christianscoasters]

^It's a budget airline so you get what you pay for, but if I can fly across the Atlantic for $200 RT, I'm probably going to have very, very few complaints. I brought it up as KBrylczyk mentioned a weekend trip.

YESSSSS!!!!!

Kärnan's tower is finally getting decorated

Can't even imagine how unbelievable this is going to look when it's finally done. Some day the whole world will know of the awesomeness of that ride.

[Stonem]

Need to come back next year !

First piece of art on Kärnapulten

 

 

This sign seems to point towards Kärnapulten being placed at Torre Del Mar's old spot
