Tanks4me05 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 ^ That's what I'm wanting as well. It's no doubt that B&M makes VERY high quality roller coasters, it's just that they need more creative layouts. And maybe they can revive the Stand Up coaster with a softer restraint style.

matteocrepaldi Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 For me this was one of the best news ever! I can't wait to know more about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossa Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Good news that Mirabilandia gets a new coaster - but why does it have to replace Sierre Tonante? I know worse woodies and in 2006 it wasn't that rough either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatisthematrix Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Maintenance of Sierra was too expensive. Here a photo of sierra without engine for chain...the demolition has already begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ^ I've heard about that they had already started to remove some pieces. Thanks for the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 stupid rumour was the first thing I thought when I heard about this project. But now they are actually removing Sierra Tonante I really get excited. Hooray for the B&M hyper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 B & M, awww, the world needs more Intamin hypers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURE Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'll be the first to admit I'm a fan of B&M because of their reliability. Even though it seems like they might be getting better at building them, whenever I hear of B&M making a new sitdown coaster, for some reason I can't help but cringe. They should stick with what they're good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy216 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 ^ Which is making coasters with and without inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 It is listed on RCDB now . http://rcdb.com/id4147.htm Anyways it says B&M but I am questioning the height they have down. They say it's 164ft tall but I am wondering did they put it down wrong as earlier it stated it will be taller than Katun which is 164ft and maybe they just got it mixed up or maybe they have some sort of height limit? I just find it odd that it would be the exact same height as Katun. Anyways I think this is awesome news and Mirabilandia will now be high on my must visit list for next year.

Acero Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Maybe it's listed as the same height as Katun because obviously if it's going to be taller than that, it has to at least 164 ft tall. So, we know it's min. that tall, and when the guy at rcdb gets further information, he will update the height, but I guess for now he's just keeping it listed as its lowest possible height. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 ^RCDB got the information about the coaster from one of my friends and it's exactly as you wrote. We are all waiting to know how much taller than Katun is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid_w Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Actually, I'm quite sad about Sierra, since it was the only woody near my place (Slovenia; still a good 6 hours drive, though), and it was one of my favourite coasters ever... It was quite rough, and had no airtime at all, but it pulled 4G! 4G on a damn woody! And also it had awesome lats! But, yeah, a B&M hyper is quite good news, I guess... Anyone has any more pictures of the demolition of ST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Nothing has changed on Sierra Tonante. Maybe it'll disappear in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Insane Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nice to hear Mirabilandia are getting something new to replace the ok woodie, might explain why it was running the red train as the white train wasn't to been seen at all. When I visted back in Septmber, whille it was running both the year before, round the same time Looked forward to another yearly trip sometime this year to see Construction and many rides of the fantastic Katun!

matteocrepaldi Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Here's a detail of the official 2008 park map without Sierra Tonante with the announcment of the new SUPER coaster for 2009. Sierra Tonante has started to come down. The helix has already gone. How it was: How it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Wow, B&M has been selling a lot of speed coasters in the last few years! Can't wait to see the details on this one. I wonder if it will have standard seating or those new, weird trains they have on Behemoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Forghieri Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 For 2008 season Mirabilandia is working on Reset. It's an interactive dark ride by Mack. The theme is the Manhattan underground in 2117 year. The ride will open on June 28, but in the meantime you can watch some interesting video: Mirabilandia: video of Reset's inside scenery Mirabilandia: video of Reset's artworks Mirabilandia: Reset, what a wonderful scenography!

Mirabilandia Forever Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Mirabilandia, Katun is closed, the coaster N° 1 in Italy will remain closed for approximately one week (unless further problems), the cause is a problem in joining the track in the cobra roll. Mirabilandia said that Katun was completely overhauled this winter, but now it was necessary that this intervention will mean the closure of Attraction for about a week. Probably katun reopen around August 9-10 Original news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Yikes!!! I wonder what could've happened to cause two sections of track to no longer be "joined" properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 They better hurry to reopen Katun; IMO it's the only attraction that makes that park worth a visit. The secon one will open next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Vampire Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am probably going for the first time there in September so it was scary when I read the titel, hopefully no further problems so it will open, cause otherwise it would be a real bummer.

haux Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The spine probably just cracked. It happens on Raptor every so often. They just have to weld it, and the ride will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirabilandia Forever Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 katun should reopen on 4-5 August, already are placing the problem. I changed the news on the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
