J.S217 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Testing out a concept in all honesty I think it may be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchy Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think it looks fun too. I do love spinning coasters but hate the fact that they are all... meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Blue Fire dosen't have a rave spiral lift hill though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project LC Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Well I thought brave it backwards was a gimmick it would seem you can go one better. It looks stupid and like it wouldn't add much to the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Wouldn't that be like Dragon's Fury on steroids? That'd be fun. pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 They're not suggesting adding a spinning car to the back of Blue Fire, they're testing the viability and ridability of spinning cars on Mack megacoasters Calm your hatred holtjammy16, OldFarmerDean and EC! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Fair enough, why would you want a spinning car on a megacoaster though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Because spinning through inversions might be fun, but no one knows because no one has done it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Because spinning through inversions might be fun, but no one knows because no one has done it yet. 4 people have on Blue Fire... That said, Vertigo at Tivoli Gardens provides a similar experience (I.e. spinning/inverting in various axes), and I found that a rather vom-inducing experience... Imagine Blue Fire's inline with spinning involved? Ew... Besides, Blue Fire is perfect as it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I don't think people should immediately call it a bad idea, without at least trying it. I mean, I enjoy dragons fury and I love ble fire so maybe it would be great. OldFarmerDean and pognoi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDan Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Europa-Park will be getting a very small kiddie coaster next season for their Ireland area. It makes sense, as the current smallest coaster, Pegasus is far bigger than most park's smallest coaster! This will take them up to 13 rollercoasters! pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Have to say, Chris and I were very impressed by the VR headset on AlpenExpress. I was initially very sceptical of it but it was certainly pleasant enough and added enough to the ride to justify the 2 euro cost. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I hope if Air becomes VR that they don't charge extra at Towers... We know what M£RLIN are like... I would like to try a VR coaster though, does sound cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Pegasus is getting VR this season. Woo, I hope the implementation (word of the day) is as good as Alpen Express's. Europa have made the right move, putting the VR on the quieter coasters. BenC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesberg Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Out of interest why does Silver Star have some huge cover on the drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Scream shields to stop sound impacting the local residents See also: California Screamin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Silver Star also can't operate beyond 8pm either as a result of its location. Rest of the park is unaffected as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 What happens when the park is open until after 8pm? Does Silver Star close early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yep, but since you have Blue Fire and Wodan open, it really doesn't matter that much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's unfortunate, especially for what is recognised as one of the best operated parks in the world. I'm totally against rides closing early, guess it must be unavoidable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally against rides closing early, guess it must be unavoidable though. In all fairness, it is quite close to the nearby town and in order to try and keep relations with local residents sound [which I'm sure is the case with the vast majority]. Whilst there may be a light noticeable increase to other rides, the good thing about Europa is, the place is regarded as the best park for throughputs in not just Europe, but the whole world. A queue equivalent to 90 minutes on Saw, would be around 30 minutes at Europa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
