Kooky Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I haven`t find any thread about it so i opened a new one. Duinrell seems to open a new coaster. It was build in the year 2007 by gerstlauer , but they had some problems with the village people because of the noise. But now it seems that they will build it: source: http://www.rides.nl/ in a report they show the EF-320+ Modell in connection to the new coaster. Here is the picture: picture source: http://www.gerstlauer-rides.de the (source-)report: http://www.rides.nl/nieuws/bericht/duinrell-mag-nieuwe-achtbaan-bouwen/1842#unread here are the photos from cars in the year 2007: source:http://themepark.nl/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/124261/34.html Looks like Gerstlauer invented a Hit coaster with the EF.... They were build in so much parks in europe this year. it could replace the wild mouse for a low cost fun/thrill coaster. And since Mystery Mine nearly everyone was combined with good theming or a darkride part
matteocrepaldi Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 That looks pretty cool. Small, cheap and a lot of fun; the perfect mix for times like these.
PKI Jizzman Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 It looks like it's the same as Rage at the one park over in Europe.
Ed Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I could be spouting lies but I think that is Rage before they painted it. I just have a feeling in my stomach, or indigestion.
Kooky Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 yeah you are right, its the same layout... the complete coaster was finalized in 2007!!! there was an onride video from the tests on youtube from 2007, which is now unfortunately deleted. they also had delivered the cars to the park when the people from the next town stopped the building of this coaster. 2009 it seems that they will be allowed to build it
Loefet Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I could be spouting lies but I think that is Rage before they painted it. I just have a feeling in my stomach, or indigestion. Nope that is not rage, since that one pictured have bi-rail on the section after the Immelmann turn. Some ECC members were down in Germany riding this coaster in 2007, so there is several images of it, in First Drop.
Kooky Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 ah thanks, i don`t recognize this.... there are some pictures on http://www.gerstlauer-rides.de were you can see that the cars from Duinrell on a test run of the coaster: i like that rusty style please don`t paint this one
Xaninx Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Yes! FINALLY. It was about time they'd built it. Also, the name Rick's Delight will most likely change.
hansrubens Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 ^ Yes indeed waited for two years now. ---Hans
downunder Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 but they had some problems with the village people because of the noise. I was wondering what happened to the Village People, I thought they might still kicking around places like Branson, Missouri. Seriously, I have been very curious about this just because of the bizarre (and probably a little gay) name of the coaster, the great mystery is what is "Rick's Delight" - maybe some tag team action from the village people. Another Eurofighter is always a good thing, I wish they would put one or more up downunder. This one looks great.
Shockwave Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Cool, I was wondering when this one would get built! Might take a trip over to the Netherlands next year and pick all the rides that have been built since I last went.
hansrubens Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 The coaster is going up pretty fast I think the trackwork will be completed in the very near future. On Themepark.nl are some pictures of the construction. ----Hans
Kooky Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 New pics from (http://themepark.nl/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/1004293/18.html postet by benjamin) and one newer pic posted from "racer411" on http://themepark.nl/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/1004293/22.html:
dr.gumbo Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Looks absolutely fantastic, I love the fake wooden paint scheme they've given it. It makes it fit in quite well in terms of looks.
DonkeyBreath Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Yes that looks really really nice Wow that loops looks like a perect circle, most loops are shaped more like a tear drop because of the g's . I guess the g's won't be a problem with this one since the train is so short? I don't see why they went though the trouble of making the supports that nice if they were going to build it on steel beams like a carnival coaster that looks tacky imo
Electerik Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 So is "Rick" some kind of famous Dutch daredevil adventurer or something?
Erik_73 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Rick de kikker is translated in "Rick the frog". The frog is the park mascot of Duinrell.
Kooky Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 the newest pics from yesterday: source: http://themepark.nl/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/1004293/23.html
themeparkman25 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 The loop seems like it is hardly shorter than the lift hill! But I think that the supports look good, between this and Firewhip I am really buying into this whole paint the supports thing.
Devious Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I'm going to assume the "Built on steel" bit is due to the theming they have planned, at least from the artwork they did Most likely, it'll end up hidden
Electerik Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Rick de kikker is translated in "Rick the frog". The frog is the park mascot of Duinrell. Thanks! /There's nothing like a frog-themed euro-fighter.
dr.gumbo Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I'm going to assume the "Built on steel" bit is due to the theming they have planned, at least from the artwork they did Most likely, it'll end up hidden Actually, I think its built like that so it can be transported easily but you could be right as well.
exmouse Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Rage at Adventure Island is also built on unpainted steel beams. http://www.rcdb.com/ig3573.htm?picture=7 As is Typhoon at Bobbejaanland. http://www.rcdb.com/ig2229.htm?picture=37 I suspect the reason is to keep costs down. Putting in properly located and constructed footers must add more to installation costs compared to a flat concrete surface. There would be no additional design costs as the park is buying an entirely off the shelf ride, with no need to alter supports to factor in terrain changes. Plus should the park decide to sell or relocate the ride it makes it far easier to do so. Or this could just be the way Gerstlauer likes to build compact Eurofighters.
