IronWolfman Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Glad they are using 4-car trains instead of 2-car. I was afraid for a second about capacity. Hoping this isn't full speed testing, looks like it could easily roll back on the top hat. Can't wait to see this open!
coasterfreak101 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 That top hat shaping looked really cool from above, but man does it look weird as anything from the ground. I'm curious as to why they didn't shape it like a normal top hat - it's like they super-sized Kanonen's and went with it.
shivtim Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Accroding to Vialand's twitter, Nefeskesen won't open until next spring. "Merhaba, Nefeskesen önümüzdeki bahar açılmış olacak. Tüm detayları çok yakında öğrenebilirsin" Google translation: "Hello, Breathtaking [Nefeskesen] will be opened next spring. You can learn all the details very soon" source

I also thought about it, I think it is because the track exit the element much lower than it enters. It's also noticed that this is Intamin's first really big top hat to use the triangle track, instead of the square.
cal1br3tto Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 So Nefeskesen translates to Breathtaking? That's pretty neat. Nefeskesen...I think I like the sound of that. Although I'm sure I have no idea how to pronounce it correctly.

Huh, you're right! I noticed it was triangle track but didn't even think about it, but I wonder what drove that decision.
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 ^ Beautiful! I didn't know that Turkey also has snowy weather...
_koppen Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 That looks awesome! I really like the look of that castle. It's nice how they have not done a "Disney" style castle, with a big tower in the middle, like all other theme park castles.
DBru Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I can't get over how good this coaster looks. I especially love the crazy-low Stengel dive and roll into the brakes to finish off the ride. Intamin continues to impress me.
BDG Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Open for business. POV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfIAvzX1x7c off-ride:
magicweasel Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Awesome. Its good to see Intamin still selling rides. It been dry for them these last few years.
_koppen Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Awesome. Its good to see Intamin still selling rides. It been dry for them these last few years. Lat's look at some Intamin rides sold in the last few years, shall we? Might as well throw in these: Edited April 7, 2014 by _koppen
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 It looks a lot slower than I expected. Probably Maverick reset my definition of "Intamin".
coasterkyle Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I dont think we should go off the POV. Skyrush for example the POV looks so slow.
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 ^ I mean from the off-ride video. When watching SkyRush's off-ride video, you would know that it gives one of the craziest airtime ever but Nefeskesen looks more like Powder Keg except for that fast transition on the overbanked turn. Maybe when it warms up a bit this ride could be faster. I really like how it has a little drop off the station.

coasterer Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Finally it's up and running!! Pretty solid start for Turkey. Whoever posted the list of Intamin's last few years worth of rides, let's give that person a hand, shall we? Haha, well done sir.
