gerstlaueringvar Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Horray for both Gerstlauer and Power Park! Gerstlauer , please keep making ejector airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Karacho at Tripsdrill is 700 meters long, 30 meters high and has 4 inversions - maybe a slightly bigger layout of Gerstlauer Launched Infinity Coaster... Â Both Lynet and Anubis are totally awesome, and Karacho looks just as awesome as well. I don't really mind a clone of any of them, or a fully costumed layout.

Anac0nda Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Someone on the finnish forum picked this up: they are building a funhouse themed after a construction site for this season. Here's the link to the manufacturer's (Gosetto) website. Â I really wish I'll get to visit Power Park this year as it has been three years already since my last visit. I'd also like to see this new funhouse, since I've never seen any ride themed like this. Sounds like a really good investment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Seems like this park keeps making the perfect additions. Â Hopefully they will give it the length every fun house in the world deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 ^^Interesting! Sounds like a traditionally inspired funhouse with some modern and creative theming. I hope it lives up to that fun-sounding description! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noporian Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I found out that the new Gerstlauer will be VERY similiar to Karacho at tripsdrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 ^Has there been any construction yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Damn it! I actually got excited to see the thread bumped, I was hoping for construction photos  The park is in a very small place, kinda placed a bit off. Unless there is an enthusiast living closely (seriously doubt it) I don't think we will see any photos until the park releases them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have always wanted to visit Powerpark and a new Gerstlauer sounds like a great addition and a good excuse to try to plan a visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hope this park can keep up on their updates. Gerstlauer is really stepping up lately, I can't wait to see how this one looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We are just as excited in the finnish equivalent of TPR forums! Sadly there aren't too many enthusiasts living nearby to take any pics of the construction. Although I guess there hasn't been much vertical work done yet due to winter, just pouring and curing of the concrete footings. I'd guess this coaster won't open with the park, but a few months later, during June. But let's hope I'm wrong and this beast is already conquerable right from the beginning of the season!

_koppen Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So according to Coastersandmore this will have an invereted top hat and Gerstlauer's take on a norwegian loop. Â I can't wait to see more of this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 So according to Coastersandmore this will have an invereted top hat and Gerstlauer's take on a norwegian loop. Here's the layout!   - rolling launch - top hat- a hybrid of a Norwegian loop and Thriller's first loops- mid-course brake- horseshoe- buckel- dive loop- corkscrew © Gerstlauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah that's a normal top-hat (contrary to what Coastersandmore is stating) and a very stretched loop. The first dive-loop looks almost non-inverted too, more like a dive than an inversion. Â So to sum-up, this looks like a great and quite unusual layout! Looks tall as well. Very intrigued and interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Looks like an exciting ride with a great combination of inversions and airtime. Â Is it using Infinity Coaster trains or Euro Fighter cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Looking very good indeed! I'm very excited to have a proper launch-coaster finally in Finland (well we have a Zamperla MotoCoaster but...) and a tophat as well! It doesn't matter to me whether this will use Infinity of Euro-Fighter trains, but if they look nearly as cool as Karacho's, it'll be a new centerpiece for Power Park for sure. Â But wait, there's more good news: somebody on the finnish forum published a panorama taken from the new Kwai-bridge: Â (Source http://www.huvipuistoseura.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1474&sid=059d5bc94230ba73f961cd552db05695&start=30) Â Judging from the footers and what I guess will be the new station building, it looks like the double-loop-thingamajig will go around the Kwai-bridge, twice! Then the tophat will be near the entrance road to the park and provide excitement to everyone. Also the last dive loop seems to dive into a trench like Karacho. Track colour appears to be green (me like!) Â As if I wasn't already going to visit Power Park because of Thunderbird, this new beast could even get a place in my top-10! Literally cannot wait for this to start going vertical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It will uses the Infinity trains, as we can read on OCEM Marchetti.it: Â Â One of the two is Karnan, the other is this one. Â Nice shade of green by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Layout time! Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Already posted in the previous page, but it's nice to see it bigger. And I can't get tired of looking at it! Â And come on, a dead-round loop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The layout looks awesome! ^Yes, that element will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305forever Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Looks pretty intense! I think its layout looks stronger than karacho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Just saw the first dive loop can give some airtime before twist&dive into the loop with hang time! That would be a great combination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 This is kind of awesome but my eyes hurt after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 That is an AWESOME layout! Congratulations to Finland, you really deserve this ride! Hopefully the other parks will follow. Â Â A question, how much of this ride will be above water do you think? Anac0nda? I never been to the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Oh yeah, I didn't even remember that the park has an artificial water body right there! Comparing my picture from last summer to the picture of the construction area, it looks like the area with black gravel could be covered with water. You can barely see the blue ride on the construction photo, which is the same ride as the one in my photo. You can also see the wooden pier on the right to help connect the photos. Although only about a meter of water (three feet), the reflection effect will still be there. The water ride also shares the same water body, but it has concrete walls as well to prevent other than surface water from interacting with the ride. Anyway, the coaster will look even more awesome with reflections and an underwater tunnel! Just imagine going through the norwegian-loop -element, wrapping twice around the bridge, all this while also traveling above water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
