bert425 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 ^^ whoah. . TONS of airtime! I could feel my butt lifting just watching it from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye_Ben Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 This video described in one sentence: 'Judge me by my size, do you?' Even the trains are tiny...still looks as awesome as any Intamin. Not all coasters need to be 400+ feet tall and go 150 mph to be awesome *cough CEDARPOINTFANSONFACEBOOK cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1337 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The greatest coaster we have here in Denmark, without any doubt. I love the way they themed the entire pirate area, and I can't wait for their new Intamin Europe's first double launch coaster to open (omfg, it's two weeks from now!). I don't think Juvelen will be a better ride than Piraten, but I think it might surprise a lot - just as Piraten did in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperShawn Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Can't wait for the day I finally get to ride a mega-light! Hopefully it'll be this one next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xcoaster Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Great timing on the Tranan video, I was trying to build an S&S Free-Fly yesterday in RCT2. It turns out that RCT2 doesn't have a very good track/train combination for it. Anyways, looking forward to Scandinavia 2014! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whodey Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 What goes flying by around :32? It made the rider look twice. He reacted like it was a nice rack flying by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just doing my best using the in-game 4D coaster. Maybe Theme Park Studio will include a Free-Fly? I'd love to see what could be done with a longer, themed layout.

rcdude Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Piraten looks like it's possibly the best coaster in Scandinavia and probably one of the top five coasters in Europe overall. The other Scandinavian coasters posted recently all look interesting as well in their own ways. Hopefully one day I'll get a chance to visit this part of the world, but I'm pretty sure it won't be in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disney4me2001 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Now I get why so many people on here are begging for U.S. parks to put in mega-lites! Consider me one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Mega-Lites look like so much fun and I can't wait to ride one, but I've only seen two, this one and one in an Asian park, and they're both like a miniature I-305. The layout is 90% dead on, the only difference being that I-305 has short hills meant to carry speed while these have taller, airtime-filled hills.

ozziboy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Definitely seems like the one of the most airtime-intense coasters I've seen, and like several others I hope to ride this on the anticipated Scandi trip next year! Its style reminds me of Expedition GeForce in some ways, but sadly I only got to ride one lap of that so its hard to gauge. Also Robb, thanks for sending out the trip photo/DVD packages, just got my Italy/Europe one in today's mail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_n_coastin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Wow, Piraten was such an awesome surprise. I loved the slalom elements at the end--crazy sideways air? For such a small footprint, it's amazing how much fun you can have. Tranan is something to experience. I honestly thought it was one of the scariest rides ever when you're used to being overly restrained here in North America and then put in a wild feeling coaster with nothing holding you in above your waist. Such a great ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 These Mega Lite coasters do really seem to kick quite a lot of ass. I want one in my backyard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Wow...awesome Intamin hotness! Mega Lite forever!! I would love to get a chance to ride one of these. Sadly this one is too far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel46 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I sense some serious Airtime on this Coaster. And thanks especially for the Black Mamba Video. Now I'm even more looking forward to my visit in late May. It has been a way too long time since my last visit to Phantasialand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeine_demon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 ^So, it's "Victor, the Water Worm"? That would make sense since it goes "in the water". And if it came to USA they would take that awesome creative name, and probably change it to Batman Still - it's better than "smiler" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeine_demon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Piraten was one of those coasters which really went beyond my expectations, great airtime and it keeps a good speed right until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 With all these random wacky coasters coming to the states, I think more parks should consider mega-lites as options for new coasters. Stateside parks wouldn't go for a ride like Tranan (which looks pretty awesome) for obvious reasons, but still. A mega-lite stateside would be totally awesome.

TyRush Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think with most bigger parks losing space the mega-lite will become a request in a couple years. Maybe even a new revolution/breed of them. Piraten looks incredible though, lots of airtime moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GO MUFC!!! Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Judging by the ''Whees'' somebody's been hanging around with Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
