verticalzero Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I love woodies as well, I have ridden both woodies in Holland, now there is a new beast arriving in 2007 and it should be a winner for the Park. Good height and lenght, how about one of the curves being in a Tunnel with some light and fog effects. I love "Robin Hood" at Walibi World, could do with a Helix before the rise into the brakes for a great finish. I don't like the woodie at Eftling, it's way too rough and slow. Needs to be rebuilt or replaced. It does not do the rest of the park justice. Holland does suffer from lack of wood coasters. I'll be moving to Holland in the next few years and I'll def make lots of trips to check this woodie out. Thank You - Toverland for saying yes to GCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dailey Enterprizes Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Is it normal to have the whole slab of concrete act as the support footer for a coaster or is this a new GCII technique that they've just started to use? I don't think it's that big of a deal though. The coaster looks pretty cool so far and I do admit that I am one of the many who like construction photos...

hyyyper Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Last year's Thunderbird at Powerpark, and Renegade also use giant slabs, and i believe Thunderhead had some aswell, altough i'm not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Wow! I'm shocked that Toverland went with two trains! Great for us though! Looks pretty cool and twisted! Hey GCI Guys...please stick to that opening date!!! We'll be there 2 weeks after that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Joe Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 While the rendering is close to the actual ride....we have made some modifications to the end of the ride for the better....we have left the banked speed bump after the first drop Thanks for continuing to post the construction pics!

It does not do the rest of the park justice. Well, it's normal for a wood coaster to be rough. So is pegasus. I didn't mind it at all. It's a family coaster. As Robin Hood. But not Troy! Omg this is a very O My God-tish coaster. Well done Toverland. I'm very surprised by the ride's lay-out. I think this ride will get a High rate on wooden coaster polls.

bgwfreak Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Is it just me or does this look a bit like Kentucky Rumbler (layout)? Maybe I'm off, but it seems to mirror it a bit. Not that that is bad. I loved KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hey GCI Guys...please stick to that opening date!!! We'll be there 2 weeks after that!!!! Are you visiting any more parks in the benelux after yr Spain and Italy trip ? Do you have fixed the dates already ? I would love meeting you guys again. Benny (you met in Walibi Belgium 2 years ago) P.s. i'm really looking forward riding this new woodie ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 ^Yes we are! I'll post more details closer to the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Lovely layout, this will be so much fun. Just small enough to put into our back garden. If a wooden horse can be built as part of the theaming it could straddle the lift-hill or station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 looks like this kinda woodie is going to be an awesome one and the 1st drop's bottom seems to get so much g's that the train heads to the left twisted turn there at once! i thought it was gonna be better than Kentucky Rumbler..... hope so.

turbolaaf Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 I've been there on the press meeting for the fans on saturday. Toverland did a great job by showing us the stuff en the presentation. We also got the change to ask the president of GCII some questions. It will be there biggest coaster build so far. There are 2 more potential cliënts in Europe but he did not tell wich one Also hi mentioned something i think the most in Tampa would like to hear When we walked outside on the construction area i told him about some of my trips to the US and my only GCI i've ridden so far. I told him that gwazi was a good ride but a bit to rough. Also i asked him why there are no Millenium trains on that coaster... The answer was: Not yet but maybe soon Clair is a fair and open person and i must say it was a pleasure to meet him. He takes the time for everyone with questions and offcourse a picture. To help you out: Edit: Tomorrow the corner next to the parking lot should be going up and the opening is planned on 23 june Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobcoaster Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm loving the layout! It looks like its got some awesome headchoppers and hopefully some good airtime on some of those hills. Can't wait for more updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
