Matt 236 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Looks a Loverly layout and the colour scheme shall definitely be striking to say the least. Spinning trains on this would be crazy, but in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 A couple more pictures, showing what happens after the straight section in the above rending... Source: http://imgur.com/a/q6hSR So yeah, straight section, unbanked turn, MCBR, followed by a sort of dive drop (or should that be The THORPE PARK Inversion ). Unbanked turn would certainly suggest a spinning coaster, but with how weird this project has been so far, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Double post but meh. Source: http://wonderworldweb.over-blog.com/2015/09/walibi-holland-pays-bas1.html A clearer look at the above inversion, as well as a second one that appeared. Quite a large part of me is really wanting this to be a spinner to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 If it is a spinner, would it be the first with inversions? (Excluding the carriage tested on blue fire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 There is one already in operation: 'Veil of Dark' in Toyko Joypolis in Japan. It's a laser shooting, launched, spinning coaster with one inversion, built by Gerstlauer. RCDB link: http://rcdb.com/6453.htm However, there's also a Mack spinning coaster in China under construction (well, the coaster is seemingly complete, but the park is still being built). It's not as crazy-looking as this, but has a similar type of track: Source: http://www.vhcoasters.com/?p=4476 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Those curves look amazing. Definitely wins the underdog award for most exciting looking coaster next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 A launched inverting spinner with laser guns. Sounds crazy! gerstlauer threw all their eggs in one basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Looking at that station, it HAS to be a spinner now... Which is a shame whilst equally a good thing, as it could produce a nice renaissance of them... Also doing the Smiler look better than Merlin...

JoshC. Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 And everyone's favourite German enthuasiast, Tobi from PhantaFriends.de, has made a No Limits recreation of the ride... If this doesn't spin, then we've got a fun-looking ride. If this does spin, then we've got a potentially insane ride. pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Good old Tobi. I really hope this ride spins now... I'd have preferred it to be less banked on the first turn though, the laterals would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holtjammy16 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 surely it's a given that it will spin? would be a very odd layout if it didn't and after mack testing spinning cars on blue fire it looks crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 If you're the super-organised enthusiast, you might want to circle early 2019 for a new unique coaster... http://www.looopings.nl/weblog/4980/Walibi-Holland-opent-weer-grote-nieuwe-achtbaan-in-2019.html Yep, Walibi Holland have said they're planning to open a new coaster for the 2019 season which "you cannot find in another park". Along with that, they're opening a new thrill ride next year, and doing some refurbs to rides over the next couple of years. And despite all this information, we still don't know what Lost Gravity *actually* is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sounds a very ambitious and exciting plan. Walibi definitely looks to be on the up for the future by the sounds and appears to knock Efteling from the roost of best Netherlands park. Out of interest, does anyone know if Walibi were ever bought up recently as they didnt seem to be adding anything new for a while. Walibi have a LOT to do to even get anywhere near Efteling... Lost Gravity, a dark ride and another random coaster 3 years away isn't enough whatsoever... JoshC. and pognoi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, does anyone know if Walibi were ever bought up recently as they didnt seem to be adding anything new for a while. If Walibi Holland is of a similar standard to Walibi Belgium, then they are lightyears behind Efteling (and since they're not even aiming for the same target market, pretty incomparable anyway). Walibi haven't been bought up / taken over to my knowledge. They've just had a few years of nothing, followed by adding ALL THE THINGS now. Like even Walibi Rhone-Aples is getting a Gravity Group woodie out of nowhere this year... Good thing mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Good to see I still have my dignity then How stupid of me, nothing will beat Efteling. After all quality not quantity obviously is the way and I'm sure they'll have another fab contraption built/in the works by 2019 anyway. Walibi Holland however do look very exciting with their new stuff still which is clearly different altogether and they are more like Dutch Thorpe whilst Efteling is a much better Dutch equivalent of Towers. Not like I've even visited Walibi anyway. I'm sure Tover will get something eventually too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 So guys this ride is NOT A SPINNER!!!! It is Mack's take on the Skyrush Concept with 2 seats on the track and 2 winged seats, and there will be 2 rows of this coaster a little bit like a gerstlauer Eurofighter. Confirmed Via Snapchat! And Here is a CGI Mockup SO what are your thoughts guys and girls!? JoshC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
