Nrthwnd Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Maybe it'll be a combo of spinning and non-spinning seats like the set up they used on Blue Fire. ^ If they were alternating cars (fixed seats, spinning seats) that would scare me in a really awesome way!
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Totally random, I heard from Mack that Bluefire pulled NEGATIVE 2.3G's on Bluefire's spinning car when it is facing right at the heart line roll. Also, post #5,000!!!
chickenbowl Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 The number one reason for me, is that spinning cars would ruin a potentially good layout. Quoted for truth. I don't like spinning coasters too much, I'm not a big fan of flat rides either. Give me new trains (God, I love comfy Mack trains like Manta's), but please no spinning!

Projektion Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Totally random, I heard from Mack that Bluefire pulled NEGATIVE 2.3G's on Bluefire's spinning car when it is facing right at the heart line roll. Also, post #5,000!!! I could see it. That roll already pulls you out of your seat when you go through it normally and I could imagine it getting more intense sitting at a right angle. Though -2.3g? that seems less fun and more painful.
KBrylczyk Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 ^ Hey, some people are into the whole "pain for pleasure" thing.
KingRCT3 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Wow yes, -2.3g is a lot! Then again, I've already experienced -3.5g on a Capriolo and it wasn't painful at all. Intense for sure, but not painful, thanks to a comfy restraint and that peak being progressive (no jerk). But BlueFire's heartline is quite sudden...
Meteornotes Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Very interesting layout so far. Not sure I'd want to ride it in a spinning car, but it would certainly be an interesting experience. dt
Superbatboy Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Well one thing is for sure, this appears to be something new and exciting. That's what great about Mack, not only do they have an impeccable safety/reliability record (possibly better than B&M), but they're willing to try new and different things and not just rely on tried and true concepts.
Gutterflower Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Apparently this is the current state of construction Still none the wiser really http://www.coasterfriends.de/forum/9263-2016-neuheit-lost-gravity-mack-rides-walibi-holland-niederlande-20.html
BDG Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 The original source if you want to see larger photos: http://themepark.nl/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2288061#Post2288061 The inversion looks like a Togo-style dive loop.
K1ngdaKa88 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I'd say that it will be a spinning coaster like they tested on Blue Fire, otherwise I can't tell why it has a wild mouse style turn there! We have an inversion!! source
BDG Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Well... most wild mouse coasters don't spin. And El Locos also have flat turns.
Superbatboy Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 If that's a spinner, it's going to be extremely intense
DBru Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Can we also talk about the radius of that drop after the flat turn? Da fuq is this coaster?
jedimaster1227 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 This thing seriously looks insane! And if it ends up with spinning cars... Wow!
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Could it be Mack's version of Euro Fighter/Infinity Coaster? Like 2-4 rows of 4 across seating cars.
Rill'o'beily Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 I'm still maintaining my theory that this is gonna be a spinner like tested on blue fire. The layout just looks way too much like one. suomi perkele
Superbatboy Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Could it be Mack's version of Euro Fighter/Infinity Coaster? Like 2-4 rows of 4 across seating cars. That would explain the double catwalks
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Had that idea because Lynet's transition into the MCBR has a really small radius too.
MIAfan88 Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Belgium just confirmed Pulsar. Maybe Holland will announce their's sooner rather than later.
azza29 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, according to walibi.nl the ride will be called Lost Gravity. This "press release" seems to contain a weird amount of speculation, but given that it's on the park website I'm assuming it's legit (Google translated text): NEW COASTER IN HOLLAND WALIBI HOT LOST GRAVITY BIDDINGHUIZEN, December 10, 2015 - The new roller coaster at Walibi Holland is called Lost Gravity. The logo was unveiled today. The name and the logo are in this movie to see. A similar film is Snap Chat first sent to the fans. Lost Gravity does at least suggest that there is a lot of gravity-defying maneuvers and G-forces are released when driving in this ride. Walibi Holland on March 24 open again. Until the opening to be maintained all the attractions in the park and some sites get a makeover. The main thing, however, currently on behind the scenes is the construction of the new roller coaster. There are already several web sections and the highest point has been achieved. The ins and outs of this ride is also not announced. Teaser clip showing the logo, and possibly a train?
