Canobie Coaster Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I'm not sure if you would want lapbar only. Some of those elements, such as the third inversion, could really throw you forwards because of how jerky they are if you didn't have that vest.
thrilladdict Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 That would be the exact reason that Intamin just added vests to the previously lapbar-only Flying Aces over in Abu Dhabi. Idiots couldn't stop leaning forward in the wing seats during the first inversion and a few people injured themselves.
Canobie Coaster Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Except on Mind Eraser I tried sitting all the way back but that ride is too jerky in the first 3 inversions to let you.

Couldn't find anything about that in the Ferrari World thread.
thrilladdict Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Yes, at least one of the trains already has them fully installed according to two trip reports I read somewhere either here or elsewhere. The other train(s) were supposed to get them soon. (Check Screamscape)

CX1000 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Walibi Holland interested in crazy new coaster Is this crazy coaster coming to Walibi Holland? The Dutch themepark is considering to buy a bizarre 37 meters high 'free spin coaster'. Told Yas Fujii from American coaster builder S&S Sansei to Looopings. Â In a free spin coaster passengers sit in tilting coaches on the sides of the track. The 309 meters long coaster exists of a vertical lifthill, a lot of hills and sharp turns, all built above each other. Â Insiders tell that the coaster could be build on the site of oldtimer ride "Le Tour des Jardins" in the theme zone "France". The coaster could open in 2019 or 2020. Â Source
JordyC Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 ^ Didn't Six Flags sell the park already? Â I lol'd way too hard at this
walibi owner Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Just found this youtube video of some old pictures. Â
walibi owner Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Time for a Retheming [twitter] [/twitter]Â And for 2018... The restaurant Friar Tucks near Robin Hood will become "Cock-a-Doodle-Doo" a chicken restaurant.
Nrthwnd Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I have ridden Les Tours des Jardins and eaten at Friar Tuck's on two past visits. I shall miss them both, but I LOVE CHICKEN, and this coaster would fit perfect in the Jardins spot. Â But keep some of the gardens (and trees) around it, please? Au revoir, Les Tours? Votre aussi, Friar Tucks? Both photos taken on Sept.12, 2015.
Hermanus Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Perfect ride to RMC! The huge trains they have now tear the track apart, best thing they could have done if they didn't GCI it.
JordyC Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 This is fantastic news!! There were rumors for a long time going around about this conversion, but rumors are always just rumors. But I have to admit, if there was one park doing this kind of conversion in Europe right now, I would definitely have said Walibi Holland! Â I just can't believe that the first IBox in Europe is coming to a park just an hour away from me!
JordyC Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Sorry for the double post, but here's the full article. Â Walibi Holland opens new RMC roller coaster in 2019! Â Â On the 1st of July 2019, Walibi Holland will open the first hybrid roller coaster in Europe. The present wooden roller coaster Robin Hood is being rebuilt by manufacturer RMC into a roller coaster consisting of a combination of wood and steel. In September 2018 RMC and Walibi Holland will start the renovation. Â In recent years, we worked hard on the plans for the renovation, which Walibi Holland now announces. Until October 2018, guests can still enjoy the current Robin Hood, after which the ride will be converted into a completely new roller coaster. In September of this year, the first work behind the scenes will start, says Maschio van Till, director. "This is the dream of many amusement park fans in Europe", says Walibi director Mascha van Till. "We are very happy that we can finally announce this." Â With the opening of the new roller coaster, Walibi Holland will open the third new attraction in four years. After the virtual reality experience NeuroGen in 2017 and the roller coaster Lost Gravity in 2016, in 2019 Walibi Holland will open a new roller coaster. Â The opening of the new Robin Hood in 2019 coincides with other renovations in the area of Sherwood Forest. In the coming years, a part of the park will be taken care of every winter, working on the Main street this winter. The different areas are thematized on the basis of a newly developed styleguide, under the name Festivalization. Â Source
robbalvey Posted February 6, 2018 Author Posted February 6, 2018 Sorry for the double post, but here's the full article. No, don't apologize. The other post was a garbage post with zero information by someone too lazy to actually post good content. I had to go in and fix it. Â FYI - If you're not going to bother to take the time to contribute good posts to TPR, don't contribute anything. Posting "just a link" to an announcement will get you temp banned from our forums for being an idiot in the future. Â Thank you Jordy for taking the time to post this.
AdventuresinAirtime Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Awesome - have heard that ride was pretty bad.
chickenbowl Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 This is great to hear! This park could have one of the most elite Top-3 coaster combos after this! Goliath, Lost Gravity and RMC IBox?!
robbalvey Posted February 6, 2018 Author Posted February 6, 2018 Awesome - have heard that ride was pretty bad. I actually enjoyed Robin Hood. It was a decent out and back coaster, getting a little rough in it's older days, but I've been on far worse. I have no doubt though that an RMC make-over will turn this into an average ride that not many people talked about to one fo the top coasters in Europe! Can't wait!
The Great Zo Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 This is great to hear! This park could have one of the most elite Top-3 coaster combos after this! Goliath, Lost Gravity and RMC IBox?! Â Yep. Goliath and Lost Gravity are both in my top 30. Add in an RMC Robin Hood to that? This park's about to become a required hit for any Europe trip, and it was already a pretty nice place. Â Amusingly, this park's also got a coaster (El Condor) in my bottom 5. Â Start placing your bets on Loup-Garou at Walibi Belgium...
vuurvogel Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Wow, an RMC almost on my doorstep. Never in my wildest dreams.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Way to go Walibi! I hope they do some cool new elements!
