KingRCT3 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Fraispertuis City, home to Timber Drop the S&S El Loco, is going to open for 2017 Golden Driller, a 66m (216ft) tall Intamin free-fall tower with four different seating postions. That makes it the tallest stand-up tilt free-fall in the world, going 10m taller than Apocalypse at Drayton Manor. All details (in english) over here: Golden Driller at Fraispertuis City in 2017 The soundtrack will be made by IMAscore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRCT3 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Actually, Hurakan Condor has a floorless stand-up tilt gondola, but only Apocalypse at Drayton had a stand-up tilt gondola (with a floor) beforehand, so the statement is still true (sneaky, but true). And from the reports I heard from the this gondola on Apocalypse, it's actually very different and even better than the floorless version, so this is a great news for Fraispertuis.

viking86 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Fine then! Though I think calling it a record-breaker is stretching the definition a bit... Either way it will be a great addition to the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah sure. But it's a nice addition nonetheless and I'm very happy! Fraispertuis is a small park, but they went with Intamin (this isn't the cheapest manufacturer - and when was the last time a Multi-drop 4 has been built?), 4 different gondolas including a very rare one, theming all the way and even a musical score. That's the kind of ride I want to see more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Oh I like the instant reride ability with 4 different positions. This looks great and I hope more parks do something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That looks absolutely fantastic,love that there's so much choice as to how you want to sit. That's two great drop towers coming in 2017 now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It will be interesting to see which queue will be the longest, of the four different seat/standing sides, to choose from. (If they do the queue that way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Golden Driller?? Not sure how I feel about this name. . . Sounds more like the name of an "adult video" rather than a freefall ride. However, it does look like an awesome ride!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wow with this and Nigoland's new gyro drop, France really has a good variety of drop towers lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoBruz199 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 [uPDATE] A recent construction video has come out from a French news station, and from the clips shown, it seems like they are close to completing the core tower structure. From then on, they'll just need to assemble the track. It's starting to look great! I wonder how it'll change the park's skyline! On a final note, they mention at the end of the video that the ride should be opening on the park's opening day, April 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterKid211 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 ^ Looks great! The world needs more Intamin drop towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
