AlmereStars Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 "Dank je wel" very helpful, i'll get some prices for the flights now pernounce Dank je wel whaha I'm reading all kind of things on the internet, like Toverland want to be twice as big in a few years :O is that true??
Wishmaster Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 ^ They still have enough land to become maybe 20 times as big.
verticalzero Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 "Een goede dag verder!" and "Doe voorzichtig!" I've been to Holland 4 times in 2 years, I can say a little Dutch Toverland will be a park to watch their growth over the coming years
coasterchi Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Some new photo´s! Up we go! Almost on it´s place: The large legs for the lifthill. Did i say lifthill? Trackcrossings! Jippieeee Very close to the upper track: Yeah, this is really what we want so see! Turn meets turn: Well, time for a little trackwalk: Trackcrossing: The part that they are building now: Woesh! I really think it's gonna be a brakerun! Riding up... The "deadmans point": That'll be it for this week, till next week
coasterchi Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 The lifthill of Troy just collapsed during hard winds. No employees where hurt during the collapse: Damn....
mad_dog_BB Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Regarding today's incident with wind: At around 12:30 today, a gale-force wind swept through the Sevenum area. The wind blew over 13 bents of the lift structure, but thankfully all employees were off-site eating lunch at the time of damage. Initial inspections of the damage reveal that the foundation and anchors are intact, and most of the lumber contained in the affected bents is salvageable. We will have to replace several large legs and batters with new material. It is important to note that a coaster is not as strong during the construction process as it is when completed, since all supporting batters, bracing and track are not yet in place. We hope to have all affected areas rebuilt within a week or so. Again, we are blessed that no employees were injured during this unforseen event. Jeff Pike GCII
eineike Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Through a hard storm on monday a part of the troy`s lifhill collapse.Nowbody was injured.The parkmanager said that they rebuild the part and the opening will be on time. collapse part

BorisTF Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 There is a topic on Troy already: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25902&start=180 huh, why are you linking to this topic? They were two seperate threads, someone has since merged them.
verticalzero Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 That is sad news, but atleast it did not collapse when there was a train on the track. A coaster is at it's weakest when only the structure is there with no track. I hope they can re-enforce it so the woodie can take the strong winds in that area of Holland. I wish GCI all the best with rebuilding the rest of "Troy" and look foward to riding this lovely looking woodie later this year.

Jeff Pike GCII Thanks for the info Jeff, best of luck to you guys with the repairs.

hyyyper Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 isn't this the funniest crossover you've ever seen?
dr.gumbo Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Troys been released on GCIs website Clicky Theres going to be a Station fly-by if you didnt know that! (Thunderheads jealous)
Evan1127 Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 It's the largest GCI to date. And to clarify, it's a station fly-through.
coasterchi Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Photo update from last Saturday: They sure are building fast again!
