Airtime&Gravity Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 A new El Loco with the world's steepest drop is being built in France. El pequeño parque de atracciones Fraispertuis City (en el noreste de Francia) acaba de anunciar la construcción de una nueva montaña rusa. Esta novedad 2011 será del fabricante estadounidense S&S Power, una montaña rusa de tipo El Loco (ya existen dos atracciones de este tipo en otros parques: Steel Hawg en Indiana Beach en los Estados Unidos y Mumbo Jumbo en Flamingoland en el Reino Unido). Pero la nueva atracción tendrá un recorrido único con el récord de la bajada más inclinada en una montaña rusa: 113°. También habrá dos inversiones. La montaña rusa dispondrá de 4 vagones (de 4 personas cada uno). Aún no se conoce el nombre ni la tematización que tendrá la atracción. Esta novedad supone una inversión de 3 millones de euros para la atracción en si y de 1 millón de euros para la tematización y las obras. Además no será la única novedad de la próxima temporada, otra novedad (infantil) abrirá también en 2011 aunque de momento no se sabe lo que será. The small park Fraispertuis City (in the northeast of France) has announced the construction of a new roller coaster. This new 2011 will be the U.S. manufacturer S & S Power, a roller coaster type El Loco (and there are two attractions of this kind in other parks: Steel Hawg at Indiana Beach in the United States and Mumbo Jumbo Flamingoland in the United Kingdom). But the new attraction will be a unique tour with the record for the steepest drop on a roller coaster: 113 °. There will be two investments. The roller coaster will have 4 cars (4 each). Still do not know the name and theming to be the attraction. This development represents an investment of 3 million euros for the attraction itself and 1 million euros for the theming and construction. Also not the only novelty of the next season, another new (child) will also open in 2011 although it does not know what will.

beatle11 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Looks pretty much the same as Mumbo Jumbo and Steel Hawg except the drop claims to be just barely steeper. Having that claim is huge for a park though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I kind of love how they keep building the same ride with a drop 1 degree steeper each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm1444 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Although I haven't ridden Steel Hawg, Mumbo Jumbo's awesome enough that one more of these in the world is no bad thing, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CW_Shockwave Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Shouldn't the steepest drop be 90 degrees? Once you go past that its just less than 90 degrees, but upside down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
