Théo the little french Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 That's well done for the guy! He didn't have to go under the ride! I won't cry for him or his family! You can be sure of that!
Purplepills Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 A stupid mistake, all for the sake of a hat. Where I have difficulty finding symapthy for such idiocy, I do feel for the family and friends of the man, and hope the girl will be ok.
Tmcdllr Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Does not matter if the train is silent or loud. THERE IS A FENCE THERE!!!
CommanderLock Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 This is why I don't wear hats. I don't get attached to them.
Théo the little french Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 and hope the girl will be ok. I've read that she has only a little injury at her foot.... I've also read that during the ride she felt she hit something but , she thought it wasn't important and it was when she left the train she wasn't able to walk and she explain to the staff (is it the good word?) she hit something... An only then they started to understand what happened....
dr.gumbo Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Does not matter if the train is silent or loud. THERE IS A FENCE THERE!!! Is there, its not as if they fence there rides of well! (look below) Its still an idiotic thing to do. If they were desperate for it they should of asked a member of staff to do it for them (not with the ride operating offcourse). Picture from the 2005 Europe TPR trip.
Rugazzoli Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Is there, its not as if they fence there rides of well! (look below) That fence has been fixed since the time the photo was taken. I have no idea why it was missing in the first place.
verticalzero Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Someone must of seen the guy climbing the fence, Even if I dropped my mobile phone I would ask an Ops to get it for me. It's not worth risking a life for a piece of metal, coth or plastic. The worst part must of been when the girl saw the guy a sec before she hit him. When I ride B&M Inverted coasters, I try to keep my legs straight (not the normal sitting position of 90 degrees) for the "near ground" parts of the ride.
Théo the little french Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 The worst part must of been when the girl saw the guy a sec before she hit him. I've read that she saw nothing, she didn't understand what happened... he only felt that something hit her, no more.... I think she was too excited/scared to see anything...
Steffen_Dk Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Once again How stupid can you be?? He could just have said it to the ops - but no!!! I feel really sorry for the girl, who hit him - in some way, she must feel that it's her fault..
cobra_roll06 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Man this year hasn't excatly been the best year has it! I really hope the girl is going to be able to be strong about this and not blame herself for what happened.
Pufferfish Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Wow, this is sad. It just proves that no matter how safe we make something, human stupidity makes it seem like all that work was just a waist of time.
whatisthematrix Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 During the 2009 season a new megacoaster will be built in Mirabilandia. The location is the one where now there is the wooden coaster Sierra Tonante, which will be broken up from now. The new steel coaster will occupy a larger area because the track, very quick and with a lot of "air time", will go beyond the borders of the park. It will be a farewell without regret for the old - 15 years of activity - Sierra Tonante, which will be substituted by a sit-down coaster of a very high level, both for the lenght and for the height. It wil be higher of Katun, the inverted coaster of the park. In the meanwhile the new attraction will be used from a wide target of guests, according to what it has been done in Europa Park, where Silver Star, the megacoaster, is the symbol of the park.
robbalvey Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Without any kind of official announcement, this really belongs in the "Super Rumors" thread. I do hope it comes true, though. Sierra Tonante was total crap. --Robb
whatisthematrix Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 The Parksmania staff has confirmed the news...The article But it isn't an official announcement...
ginzo Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Dear Mirabilandia, Please make it an Intamin hyper coaster. Floater airtime is for wimps. Cheers, Ginzo
raptor6 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Dear Mirabilandia, Please make it an Intamin hyper coaster. Floater airtime is for wimps. Cheers, Ginzo I second the nomination.
Acero Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 However, I would settle for a B&M Hyper if that's what it turned out to be. Although Intamin Megas never fail to impress me.
Cerberus Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I'm more excited about the idea of Sierra Tonante being demolished at this point Hopefully this is true and they are going for an Intamin. Then I can be doubly happy
Groteslurf Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Great. That will be 3 years in a row that I'll visit the parks in Italy Glad that I rode Sierra Tonante for the first time last year.
Acero Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 B&M sounds good. :] Speaking of B&Ms, Screamscape also reported that Toverland (where Troy is) wants to add a B&M in the 'near' future.
sam06pr Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I like B&M hypers but I want to see more DM and Flying as well, not just hyper. I just want B&M and theme parks to get creative and create unique, special, fun elements on B&M coasters.
