GeorgeT Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Hey everybody! This thread is simple!

Feel free to use it to post updates, trip reports, questions, comments, and of course, general discussion. For pictures and videos of the park as well as past updates, see TPR's Park Index Belantis Belantis Offical Website Below are some links to past updates from the park, you may be interested in.

Here`s the data : Heigth : 32 Meters Lift : Vertical First Drop : 97 Degrees Length : 560 Meters Elements : Zero-G-Roll Cobra Roll Interlocking Corcscrews Some Airtime-Hills G-Forces : From -1,3 to 4,9 G`s A little Artwork to get an impression (please scroll down): http://www.belantis.de/www2006/0ec15baa9437436fff3e5fdbb4a7cae3_de.php Belantis call`s this already Europe`s "hardest" Rollercoaster... Well, we`re gonna see...but for shure this will be a very good addition for that beautiful landscaped and themed park.

hydra Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Interlocking Corkscrews? Nice. Would this be the first manufacturer to use this element outside of B&M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 really impressive simulation: http://www.belantis-board.de/stuff/achterbahn.html by the way, in one press article they wrote ( http://nachrichten.lvz-online.de/leipzig/citynews/freizeitpark-belantis-neue-achterbahn-wird-im-sommer-eroeffnet/r-citynews-a-21964.html ): " .... Wer die zu erwartenden langen Wartezeiten umgehen möchte, kann die Bahn auch stundenweise mieten und danach im benachbarten Event-Bereich grillen, wie Job betonte...." Translated it means, if you don`t want stay in the queue lines a long time, you can rent the coaster for some hours and have a barbecue in the area next to it. Never heard about a coaster which you can rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Never heard about a coaster which you can rent. It is very common and it is called ERT. There is a common misconception that parks give ERT to large enthusiast groups just for bringing a group to the park, but those enthusiast groups pay by the hour for ERT.

Kooky Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 ah ok, i never reallized this... I´ve ever thought that they do this for the fans and coaster clubs for free. thx for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airtime&Gravity Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Looks like it will be a pretty thrilling ride, and it is always nice to see small parks invest in these types of rides. Belantis looks like an interesting park, and a ride like this should really help them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCJared Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is it me or does this coaster look more like a cross breed of Gerstlauer and B&M? Rather than being purely unique and special like all the other Gerstlauer's... Also... I wonder why the lift hill looks so large? Anyone else thinking there is more to this that what they are letting on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Looks like the TPR Oktoberfest Trip just added another park to check out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 First Cobra Roll EuroFighter! Could be interesting. So what is it themed to??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmouse Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Belantis is a really nice park. Had a great visit there last year. They did need a big new coaster though and this new Eurofighter should be it. For anyone who doesn't know if you view the park from above it's formed to look like a map of the world. The PR manager was telling me they would soon begin construction of the South America part of the park. I'm guessing this new coaster will be part of that area as it appears it'll be just below the USA section. Don't be fooled by the log flume, it's crazy. It's possibly the most insane flume ride I've been on, we got drowned, especially when the boat was virtually going sideways round the whilrpool section. Also they have the nuts spin n spew from Gerstlauer where you operate wings to make your car flip over. It's also possible to do a Segway tour of the park, or just use a Segway on their obstacle course Here's a link to a video of my trip.

DBJ Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 That video is great! For a young park, it's really off to a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelinwood Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 From the art, it looks like it will compliment the park nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Why do all the little German parks get the cool little coasters? More local parks in the US need thrills like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 ^Because they spend more on quality (from what I've seen of Europa and a few other German parks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 And many Europeans would complain that the US gets all the big coasters (i.e: Intimidators) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgy Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) And many Europeans would complain that the US gets all the big coasters (i.e: Intimidators) ^ Yes, I do agree! I do like our coasters, but I´m often thinking, when does we get some great and special coaster like overseas... Where is X2, Sheikra, Tatsu, Goliath, Maverick... We have funny coasters, but after a ride you think often, why are they so short or I would like to ride a special coaster like mentioned. I think some differences are, that we don´t have so much space to built this large coaster tracks and the parks don´t risk to much (in financial way) ... for example like six flags and so on. It´s always the same problem, you want to get what you don´t have yet. Edited March 21, 2010 by Ledgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 ^Just go to China and Japan, they have at least three coaster types you just mentioned. Only two fourth dimension coasters in Japan, but several flyers and dive machines in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgy Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 ^^^ My last off topic post... I will do that definitively; hopefully next year with TPR!?! But before, I will ride this "small" Gerstlauer-Multilooper!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) So first, here`s a first simulation : AND I have to say I totally disagree with what I read. What`s really missing over here ??? I mean, we have Goliath and GeForce, two EXCELLENT Intamin-Steelies, we have the huge Colossos prefab-woodie, we have our georgeous OTSR-free Blue Fire (who really needs Maverick then), we have nemesis and katun, two EXCELLENT inverts, the huge multi-looper Dragon Khan, the heavily themed Black Mamba (that became VERY fast and powerful by the years), think about G`segte Sau, that awesome fun and airtime-machine, BALDER (!!!), the little but "rocking" GCI El Toro...and so on. Please, guys (I mean the REALLY experienced one`s who`re able to compare), correct me if I´m wrong, but if you just take a look how relatively close many of them are one to another...I think we here in Europe are blessed with very good coasters. And some of them are so well themed... I`m not missing anything (which doesn`t mean that you have loads of good costers over there) George "loving the european-coaster-selection" T.

Ledgy Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Wow this is a impressive animation, nice work! P.S.: I´m halfway convinced or didn´t want to leave such a bad impression. I totally agree in the point of theming and the quality of the coasters you mentioned. What I ment is, that we have mostly smaller rides or with less of elements or length than overseas. But I didn´t want to bleat. I have to discover most of our amazing rides outside of Germany, until now. So you could better form an opinion. The second intention was to agree in what larrygator pointed out, the typical propensity to wish something you didn´t have, while you already have such great things...
