Gerstlauer1 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Freizeitpark Ruhpolding is to open a Gerstlauer family shuttle coaster. This is one beautiful looking coaster in my opnion. I don't know what it is with me and small coaster projects, but i'm seriously in love with this one, i mean look at it! It's actually a terrain coaster. ‘Gipfel-Stürmer’ is German for summiteer. Specs: Height: 12 m Length: 170 m Top Speed: 50 km/h Sources: http://gerstlauer-rides.de/referenzen/referenzliste-laender/europa/deutschland/gipfel-stuermer/ http://rcdb.com/9572.htm Now enjoy the pics! Here's the layout of the new coaster. How i love the scenery of this coaster! Yay!, It's a terrain coaster! ;D <3 Awww is that cute or what??!?! Beautifulness...

mwm1444 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Absolutely no problem with more family shuttle coasters being built, this looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmouse Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 This looks incredibly similar to the Vekoma Family Boomerang that opened at Drayton Manor a couple of weeks ago. I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottBrown Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 WOW that is a bit faster than I expected it to be Looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 ^^ That looks (and runs) very cool! Neat close-to-ground layout and great-looking with the forest nearby. My park could use one of these, lolol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveRides Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I wish other parks would put the same care into their ride videos. That video is beautiful. You really get a feeling for how proud they are to have built this. The coaster looks great too! For such a small family ride, it looks like it packs a pretty nice punch. It seems like a fun coaster that will please a lot of age groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGrayZone Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Nice video... lots of care in little production details (smooth tracking, dolly shots, etc... oh, and the German/Bavarian mountain hats, hah)! Thanks for posting... and as others have mentioned, family coasters like these would work well at a number of parks in the US (Knoebels, HW, Lake Compounce, Hershey, DW, SDC, Lake Winnie, Waldameer, Enchanted Forest, KW, Camden, Beech Bend, and more!). Imagine a longer layout, with a launch somewhere in the middle for consistent pacing (... not too much longer though, to avoid suffering the que).
