Werner Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) We present a model of our new family attraction in which we are already working.We are sure that will delight everyone! This new attraction will have two trains of 18 seats each and will have a capacity of 1000 persons / hour. Its maximum height is 17 meters and its length will reach 450 meters. As you can see in this model, it is a family roller coaster themed. You will be surprised, for sure. The model for the new family coaster Source: http://www.parquedeatracciones.es This appears to be scheduled for a November 2012 opening Edited March 31, 2012 by larrygator
jedimaster1227 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I have gone ahead and changed the title of the thread to better reflect the news you are presenting. While a Parque de Attracciones discussion thread is in the works, we aren't quite ready to launch it just yet and the creation of all discussion threads is something that the moderators handle by collecting all threads related to the respective parks into one. We will definitely merge this thread into the park's discussion thread once it is created, but in the meantime, feel free to discussion this park's latest addition here.
Jivo Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Very good news for a park that is becoming the most familiar and complet in all the country (with a collection of 7 credits!) The only unknown yet is what company is suposed to construct this one... because the tracks could belong to 3 types of different companies (Maurer, Gerstlauer or Mack Rides). My personal clue is the curve that you can see next to the drop (after the lift). It seems similar to the Mack youngstar 90º banked curve so that can be another youngstar project to Madrid (because Parque Warner have already one, Correcaminos Bip Bip). The works have already begun in the Park a month ago, just as I've been writted only a few messages I think I can't link anything yet. You just have to search the website posesionfriki.com , sorry!
australianalex Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Doesn't this park already have 4 junior/family coasters??
larrygator Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Doesn't this park already have 4 junior/family coasters?? Your answer can easily be found in TPR's Park Index
XYZ Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 It looks like a Premier coaster, think Back Lot Stunt Coaster.
Moose Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Can anyone tell what water ride this is over? I'm guessing the rapids or the splash boat since the flume is by Tarantula. BTW I just looked at the park index and love the pic of Lou and I on the cave of spiders! I miss you!

larrygator Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Doesn't this park already have 4 junior/family coasters?? Your answer can easily be found in TPR's Park Index I already knew that, I checked on rcdb. Then why did you ask the question, if you already knew the answer?
australianalex Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Then why did you ask the question, if you already knew the answer? Because I was making a joke, hence the " " face. I just find it funny they're adding ANOTHER family coaster.
larrygator Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 ^Then you need to work on your sense of humor. And these are laughing smilies
sammmmmy Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 It looks like Zerier to me because of the way the lift is and its similarities to the Legoland animation and the way the lift goes!
Nrthwnd Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Looks like a great zippy little coaster to me - I like it! A Family-Thrill Coaster, hmmm?
Jivo Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 ^Diego Garcia, Parque de Atracciones de Madrid director's has posted this on his recently opened Twitter acount: "Mañana comienza Gerstlauer a montar la vía de la nueva montaña rusa del Parque. Con un poco de suerte, lista para SS" It says: "Tomorrow Gerstlauer will start to assemble the track of the Parque new roller coaster. With some luck, it will be OK for SS" SS means "Saint Week", a religious holidays between 2nd and 8th of April. So here you have it: GERSTLAUER. It might look like a mix of a youngstar and a family coaster like Die Schlange von Midgard (Hansa Park). Can anyone tell what water ride this is over? I'm guessing the rapids or the splash boat since the flume is by Tarantula. The water ride that you tell is "Fiordos", the water-splash ride. But if we take a look at the latest construction pictures, probably the new coaster will pass a few meters away from Fiordos track...
australianalex Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I have to say I'm quite pleased with it being a Gerstlauer. I'm a fan of Gerstlauer's coasters and I'm sure this ride will be a great family thrill ride.
oriolat Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 ^^Seriously? Are they planning to open this coaster in Easter? That's not even two months away and construction hasn't barely started! I will eat my words if they can finish the track construction, proposed themeing and testing in such a short period...
Jivo Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 ^^Seriously? Are they planning to open this coaster in Easter? That's not even two months away and construction hasn't barely started! I will eat my words if they can finish the track construction, proposed themeing and testing in such a short period... ^Maybe it will be a soft-openning or something for this pre-season and a huge theming work for the summer/halloween season... seems like this last Halloween at PAM was very successful, why not make a "demo" of one month without all the theming, close it, make a huge theming and then release the entire coaster+theming pack? It's not the most usual method but... maybe it works
XYZ Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I really like how the coasters cuts through the scenery, as shown in this video.
Jivo Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 It seems that Gerstlauers family coaster construction continues and theming works advance to good speed! Maybe it will be open on 1st of April, who knows! Source: http://www.channelparks.com/wordpress/2012/02/obra-de-la-novedad-2012-del-parque-de-atracciones-de-madrid/
ECZenith Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I think they can put this thing up in two months, the theming, I would be surprised if they could get it to look like in the animation so quickly. I was surprised at how long this coaster actually is, very nice!

Myself Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Hey Parques Reunidos, wanna put one of these in Hootin' Holler at Idlewild? You don't REALLY need the ENTIRE parking lot next to the Mineshaft Kitchen, do you?
ECZenith Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Wow! Nice looking train, love the aged look.
