Fooz Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 It looks like the correct translation would have been 'kilometers per hour', making the ride about 60 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 ^You know it was probably a translation error, and is probably KIlometers. Â Edit beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Makes more sense. Interesting, I wonder how long it'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 100 MPH? Yeesh. (FAKE)  It was big translation failure, but google did it wrong. It translated Km/H in Mph. So the right translation would be 62,1371192 mph or it should have said 100 kilometers per hour. Don`t know why google translator does this because miles are definitly not the same as kilometers. But i corrected it in my post. And this is really possible, if you look at the Maurer and Söhne Skywheel which has a height of 50 meters and a highspeed about 105 km/h (source: http://www.maurer-rides.de/x-coaster/skyloop/xt_150/ ). By the way this homepage is really very trustworthy and a good known and well researched coaster-site in germany.... so NO FAKE, but at the moment, STILL RUMORS!!!  EDIT: you both were faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm so stoked for this project! hopefully it really is a water coaster on steroids! But I really hope it has more than one drop, you would kind of expect that for a 20 million euro price tag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerCoasterSmi Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 We still don't really know what Die-Vertical will be. I am confused, is this thing Vekoma/Mack/Intamin? I just want to find out what this will be. If I remember from Italian class I think "IL BRIVIDO SFRECCIA SULL'ACQUA" translates as: Â The thrill of speed on the water. Â I think this means it will be a coaster located on top of the water such as Krake at Heide Park (I am not saying it will be a dive machine).

_koppen Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Last thing i read some days ago was that the whole project had been scaled down a bit, due to financial issues. Don't know for sure tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 First ever Arrow Water Coaster. Â It seems it either will be a B&M Dive Coaster with a splashdown or a Mack Water Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yeah, I also started thinking of a Mack water coaster. I'm still hoping for the Intamin prototype, but it would seem smarter of them to just get the one that have proven to be working and successful already.

matteocrepaldi Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 On the official Mirabilandia Facebook page there's a message saying that December 12th will be D-Day. From a comment it seems that they will reveal another detail about the new coaster. So keep your expectation low and this might end up being something good.  What we know so far: - The official name will be Divertical. - It will be manufactured by INTAMIN; - It will be 55 meters tall (170feet) with a strange 45° drop. - It will be located in a new area of the park wich is located between iSpeed and the dark ride Reset. - It will cost approximately 20M€. - The main element will be water but it won't get people wet. - It will open during the season (I'm not expecting to see it open before the end of June). - It will have a Pilgrim's Plunge style lift system but it will be a roller coaster.  If I wrote something wrong, please forgive me; I just wrote what I remember.

SharkTums Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 At this point, I'm convinced Mirabilandia doesn't even know what they purchased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Well I certainly hope it is a 55m Intamin coaster with a water splash If so let's hope for the new track system being used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megalyte Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I find it funny how on every other 2012 ride dicussion's people were saying AQUATRAX! Nobody said it in this thread, and look what it may be, a Aquatrax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
