RyanTPM Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 ^Wow, that's one of the best looking cars I've ever seen! Gerstlauer Infinities are always so impressive.
JordyC Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 New construction photo. It is also confirmed that Gold Rush will be the fastest inverting coaster in Holland, with a max speed of 95 kmph (59 mph).
thrillseeker4552 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Looks fantastic! I absolutely love deep red / black color schemes. Very visually appealing ride!
JordyC Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Update: Gold Rush The Monorail of the park will run right through the structure of Gold Rush. Passengers of the monorail will soon see how riders will be launched at 95 kph. "Yesterday the monorail made its first testrun since the construction of Gold Rush", says a spokesperson. "And it did fit perfectly between the supports." There will also be a special viewpoint from a few meters high, next to the station. That viewing area is almost completed. Also, the station building is almost finished. Soon the train will be put on the track. Gold Rush opens on Thursday, April 13th. Source
Bane Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Great update JordyC, it's looking fantastic and I'm definitely working out when I can tie this into a road trip from the UK to Holland. It may have to wait for 2018 but I will be sure to get out there and try it at the soonest chance. I have to say this interests me a lot more than anything at Efteling.
_koppen Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Thats a really great looking ride, the skyline looks super impressive!
laurensvanheerde Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Posted some photos of Gold Rush on my website. With just 11 days left they will have to hurry. There's still alot to do. Check http://laurensvanheerde.nl/fotoalbum/34 Source http://laurensvanheerde.nl/fotoalbum/34
waveywonder Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 oh look, another Gerstlauer being made. meeeehh, feed me more B&M's world!
waveywonder Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 also what's with theme park owners being history killers? if you've got a rare historic ride in your park you should grab it by the horns and pump money into it to keep it going! it's actually quite upsetting seeing classics get knocked down... how many jetstar II's are left now then? just that 1? that one that was taken away from alton towers blackhole PRESERVE HISTORY! it's important!

It's nice to preserve classics, but when a park sees an opportunity to add something miles better, they'll do it. The GP won't care. After all, that's who they're catering to. Honestly, I'd happily take this over a Schwarzkopf Looping Star any day of the week. Also, what's so wrong with Gerstaluers? They're great! By the way, would you HONESTLY expect a park of this size to add a B&M?
Steely Dan Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 how many jetstar II's are left now then? According to RCDB, there are still 3 jet star 2's left operating out of the 10 that were originally built. One in Utah, one in Poland, and one in Sweden.

A themepark is a business, not a museum. And your precious classic roller coaster was saved. It's being restored and sold.

History is important, I'm not arguing with you there. But, as a business, Slagharen has every right to want to move forward. If Slagharen cared so little about Thunder Loop's history, they would have sold the blasted thing for scrap - and they didn't. Part of the reason why these kinds of Schwarzkopf coasters often get restored instead of scrapped is because they're designed to be taken apart and relocated.
funtime_arena Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Check out our Onride & Offride video from Gold Rush ADMIN EDIT: Since you've only ever really come on our forums to spam your videos (15 out of 18 of your posts were video spam), which we find fairly rude and obnoxious, we are going to replace your video with our video, and if you don't like that, you can always just not post here anymore. Got it? Thanks! Edited April 14, 2017 by robbalvey
