hoeraaaay!

 

and also a new video! i realy loved it!

 

 

and also new HFN commercial

 

[RCT3Bross]

I was really sceptical that the new ride would turn out to be a coaster, but they actually confirmed one? I mean the are rumors circling the internet for some time now stating the ride would be a Mack Megacoaster like Blue Fire, I have no objections about that. I'm not going to hope on some decent theming It's Walibi we're talking about, I'm still wondering when they're going to finish Speed of Sound. (I have to say Xpress second half queue looks great first half not so much).

[Rollercoaster Rider]

Since they removed the Mouse coaster and TPR says they are lacking in family rides, Maybe a Mack Spinning Coaster?

[thrillseeker4552]

A spinning coaster seems possible, but I'd be even more thrilled to see a launch/mega coaster. The world needs more of those! The best trains/restraints in the industry.

[gerstlaueringvar]

I would love to see a Mega Coaster but please don't be an Alpina Blitz clone. It doesn't matter if it use launch or traditional lift.

^Isn't the rumour a blue fire clone? if so, it would only be one more reason to go to the park (although I would rather see a custom coaster of that type).

Where did you get the rumor? That would be too many Bluefire clones even though they are super fun rides.

[flaffstar99]

I dont think it's going to be a Launch or megalite. They have a launchcoaster already there and a coaster with a lot airtime, too. I would say they will built something like a watercoaster, it has thrill and they don't have smth. like there already The newer ones from Mack are rly Smooth

Oh, sorry. It wasn't a clone, just a ride of the same type. I just read what RCT3Bross wrote.

Now that you mention it, a water coaster seems like the most accurate guess. I completely forgot that they have an Intamin hyper already (not that a Mack mega coaster wouldn't suffice, but realistically, how can it beat Goliath?).

[_koppen]

This park have not invested in a new ride in what seems like forever. I would think that they would not invest in a big thrilling coaster immediately after deciding to invest again.

 

I also feel that a big thrilling ride would not contribute anything to the parks lineup. There are already lot's of big thrilling coasters with inversions and also two airtime machines. What really lacks is one or two good solid family coasters.

 

I would also guess for something like a water coaster or a spinning coaster.

I hate that they feel the need to do this on a week day and I need to work till 15:45 and a good hour away from the park.

But would have been interesting a backstage tour, anyway to bad, better luck next time. But this could mean we also will know the location by tomorrow evening, so some good news.

[BDG]

The ride will be built in this area. Give or take.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Given the scale of that area, I would guess a Mack spinner or a small launched Coaster like Manta.

[loop-de-loop]

^^I've built many different roller coasters in that area in RCT2. None were any Mack coasters though.

[RCT3Bross]

If my memory is correct this area isn't very big, omg no not the return of Flying Dutchman Gold Mine.

No but, a Mack Mega coaster wouldn't that be too big for that are? Interesting location though, but I expected it to be more on the edge of the park.

Maybe a new Mack Large Park Wild Mouse? Or something like Arthur at Europa Park?

[Nrthwnd]

Well, once we find out what type of coaster it is, then the rest shall follow....

 

EDIT to add: It will be awesome no matter what they want it to be. And it's a third credit

for myself, if it all turns out right on Sept.21st.

 

EDIT to add: This will NOT be a credit when I visit. Heck, it won't even be finished and open yet!

Just one thing: I looked on google earth, it's a good size for a mega lite

I don't think it's likely to happen in a park that already has a great Intamin mega coaster. But every park needs a Mega-Lite

[Rollercoaster Rider]

I'm just glad any of the Walibi parks are getting new coasters.

 

Walibi Sud-Oust: Nothing since 02

Walibi Belgium: Nothing since 2008 and was closed less than 2 weeks later and removed

Walibi Holland: Nothing since 02 and have removed a coaster since

Walibi Rhone: Nothing since 02

^ Walibi Belgium had Vertigo in 2007 and while it operated for a VERY short time it should be included. But I do agree that all theses parks need new coasters and not just cheap redos.
