downunder Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Holy s#!^, I'm riding this in June, I just got happy in my pants. I'll be jokingly calling this F### Von Nogood, but it looks like F### Von Bloody Brilliant. Those indoor parts look like they are going to be so cool.

Shavethewhales Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Is the drop going to be enclosed? It's odd how they build the track, then add the building around it. We usually do it the other way around in the states... or do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastakid Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ^ I think it entirely depends on the situation. Just think, if the building is made specifically for the hill and constructed prior to the assembly of the actual hill, how would they manage fitting a crane in there... Well anyways, I am entirely jealous of anyone who gets to ride this coaster because it looks spectacular between the actual ride itself, and its scenery. -jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phitzke Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The drop will be enclosed in a 40 meters high tower. The tunnel is totaly dark till end of the ride. All buildings will be connected to one large bilding including 3 towers (97 degree drop, the overbanked turn after the drop and the station). The way how hey built the ride is very complicated, because they can reach the construction area just from one side. On the other side the parks ends, and there is no way for cranes or other large vehicles. greetings Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Wait, so the entire ride will be enclosed? Looking at the barrel roll/butterfly turnaround area, that's going to be one massive set of buildings just to enclose a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ^That bit will be out in the open. But the rest of the ride will be enclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 but this are not the only things that will be outdoor! Look at the picture above (edit on the page before) from the tophill! there you see supports which couldn`t be build inside a building! Seems that 60% is indoor and 40% outdoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phitzke Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hey Freaks, here some new pictures from yesterday ENJOY! They started to enclose the vertical drop as you can see on the first picture! greetings Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phitzke Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi folks, again new pictures at kataplektor, and many pics from outside including the nearly complete enclosed lifthil at hapa-forum!

phitzke Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Sorry for the many posts, but today, hansa-park released a new part of the story. It is getting really complicated, and the english version is quite hard to understand, but decide by yourself: Enjoy! greetz Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mochtroid Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 ^ That music was epic. Too bad the video series does not translate well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 a littlempic update from http://www.kataplektor.de: the track is still not completed: inside one building: the lifthill is nearly enclosed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Its amazing how they through that building over the lifthill up in that little amount of time. However, I am a little surprised regarding the fact that there is so much track left to install. In multiple pictures posted above, you can see supports that aren't supporting anything including many high ones! This ride is turning out great though, I really cant image the drops, turns and elements all in the black of the building! Great update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phitzke Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Some new pictures from today. They are building the buildings very quick, and the darkride part looks to be installed. check out hapa-forum.de, or the offical coaster site for more informations. greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phitzke Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The trac is now clsed, and the top-hat is finished. The press conference today was realy satisfying. The coaster may open at the first day this season ( April 4th). Test runs will start at the end of next week. Parts of the thiming will be finished 2010. by: http://www.tiny24.de From _Ted_ (http://www.hapa-forum.de) greetings Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks for the update! Are all the pieces finally installed on this coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 yes of coursse... they just waited for the technic to get installed then they will began with the test ride.... A intresting fact they mentioned in the press conference is, that they will add the darkide part over the season and in the the holiday break next winter.... So the coaster this season is just running without a story/darkride part or just with minimalistic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olov Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 But can't complain about the exterior theming which is looking mighty good. And the cars are looking good as well. More pictures at Kataplector.de[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
