dr.gumbo Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Wow! The theming seems to be better than I thought it would be, and so does the ride. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Gutterflower Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 http://www.kataplektor.de/bau-blog/fotogalerie/fotogalerie.html?start=1 Check out the tunnel on this page.... This ride just gets better and better. Any idea where this is in relation to the Stengel Turn and the Pretzel turn?

Kooky Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 yeah... FvN looks better and better too. It seems that this one could get one of the best german coasters together with bluefire! The theming and the elements were looking aweful
phitzke Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Today, the Hansa-Park started his own youtube-channel. All videos are available with English translation! Check it out: Kataplektor-Channel and a new picture: greetings from germany! Philip
dr.gumbo Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 ^ Still looks really awesome, could be the sleeper hit of the year.
Mochtroid Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I loved the trailers although the tagline at the end was probably lost in translation. I guess other parks are listening to the success of the Nantimi ploy by Hersheypark...
Nrthwnd Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Very impressive that they've created such a history/backstory of the attraction. Watching the trailers, I almost forgot that they were actually about a roller coaster, lol! I hope, I hope, I hope this will be open by the time the TPR tour is over there in June.

phitzke Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Nice pictures. You can check out the Hansa-Park fan forum for more pictures, or the new pictures posted on www.kataplektor.de greetings Phitzke
Shavethewhales Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Can someone please explain the back story to me? I've watched both trailers, but they're pretty hard to understand. What I gather so far is: This kid's father vanished mysteriously on his way to Novgorod, the working of some sort of curse on the area. Legend has it though that he is still alive? It sounds really cool, it's just too deep to travel the language barrier very well. As far as the ride itself goes... wow. Between this and Blue Fire, you Germans get all the luck. It's not just the rides themselves, it's the sheer detail and uniqueness put into each. It just blows me away.

phitzke Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 New Parts arrived, and the coaster grows fast: Kataplektor.de - construction update greetings from germany! philip
Mochtroid Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 This will be godly when finished. *plans trip to Germany for this and Bluefire*
phitzke Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 The 97° drop is now complete! Looks awsome! http://www.kataplektor.de/bau-blog/fotogalerie/ greetings Philip
themeparkman25 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 The ride looks great and the weaving in and out of the buildings will make it all the better. Its a tiny lift hill and first drop though but according to RCDB it will be enclosed in a building, is this still true? Also, it is supposed to have an inversion, do we know what it is and where it will go, I can't seem to find it.
freefall-nlc Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 .. short, progressive.. and i know it will be - very smooth =D My first looper ever - was Nessie and my first Eurofighter in my "home" - landscape would be this one. Holy crap, what the heck .. i go and search for my brain - the theming is a new dimension for germany. I love this style of coasters ...i hope this one can hold what it told - when it opens.
Kooky Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 ...according to RCDB it will be enclosed in a building, is this still true? Of course its true! The will build the second tower over the lifthill an there will be a dark ride part too. The two towers will be connected with a big wall. ...Also, it is supposed to have an inversion, do we know what it is and where it will go, I can't seem to find it. the inversion has already been build!!! its just a barrel roll. especially two pictures for you from http://www.kataplektor.de:
themeparkman25 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 ^Thanks for the pictures, I hadn't seen any pictures of the inversion yet so it was good to see! Also, the enclosure around the lift will be sweet, I think a Germany theme park tour is in order after this and Blue Fire open.
Mochtroid Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 God, that barrel roll looks so drawn out. And a dark ride? Maybe there will be a Europe trip again when I'm old enough to go.
