Energylandia Park Discussion Thread

^Talking to various European coaster people in the know, there is absolutely some shady stuff going on!

[coastered]

I know this park is getting EU funding, but I would not be surprised if money laundering conspiracies start popping up.

Yes, that story about the EU funding is true.

But the owner of Energylandia is also the owner of the countries largest Energydrinks compagnie and he owns at least 2 of the biggest nightclubs in the country. And that is were they get most of the money from for the park.

So why are you thinking about money laundering conspiracies?

Now the park's name suddenly makes sense

[Canobie Coaster]

Energylandia is using sanitizing drones per their Facebook page.

We really are living in a dystopian novel.

I saw on Vekoma's Instagram that they've posted a picture of Abyssus's trains/boats.

I think I’m falling deeply, madly in love with Vekoma.

[SharkTums]

^It's a strange, weird feeling isn't it??!?

[KBrylczyk]

It's just Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

[tanthonyam]

How the park is sanitizing, etc.

[DBru]

^I absolutely love the grand crescendo as a girl pulls a chocolate bar and styrofoam box out of a paper bag.

You're not the only one...

[KarlaKoaster]

What are their vests like out of interest? I'm surprised they're still using them as I don't think Tripsdrill's new invert has them.

They have been on quite a roll as of late.

Noticeable for sure but not restrictive. They have a little bit of give to them which means you don't lose out on any airtime but there's enough pressure to keep your body from being thrown around in the twisties. Lech Coaster's setup was probably the best out of the ones we did on the Europe trip (Python, Speed of Sound, Formula, Mayan, Lech Coaster). On the newer models, hands-up riding is comfortable too.

Agreed! The latest version on Lech Coaster (this one appears to have them too) are much thinner and less restrictive than the vests we’ve seen on any newer Vekoma or B&M coaster in the states so far.

 

I also thought it was interesting that Tripsdrill’s invert is vest-free. However, while I think it looks fantastic, it does seem to be a bit tamer than these large sit down loopers.

Energylandia will be reopening on June 6.

[Nrthwnd]

Let's hope those flying drones don't go haywire and start disinfecting the guests from above, lol!

[KBrylczyk]

^ If there's one thing I've learned from decades of schlocky sci-fi movies and books it's that the drones will not only go haywire, but it will be revealed that they were carrying guns and ammo this whole time and work for aliens.

[Kyle Coleman]

It's like no one learned anything from the terminator movies.

[DILinator]

Dang! Now I'm bummed that none of the American parks' re-opening plans involve disinfectant shooting drones!

[SharkTums]

Something about flying robots shooting chemicals on me at a park that's 30min from Auschwitz is a bit too disturbing.

[DILinator]

^ That is a valid point.

[WolfBobs]

Humans will be the infection they try to terminate!

[KarlaKoaster]

The new Aqualandia area is looking rather nice. There is what looks to be some red track lined up against the trees to the top centre-right - is there another coaster I've forgotten about? I guess the land behind Aqualandia (as we look at it in this image) will be the next to be developed.
