Luke_A Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Double post eek, but with worthy reason... It's brilliant that GCI keep posting these pictures of the new woodie right to Facebook. Liam T and AstroDan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Looks gorgeous. Will they be closing Blue Fire and Atlantica to complete it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Wonderful. Going up bloody quick too! That entrance feature is absolutely exquisite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Looks gorgeous. Will they be closing Blue Fire and Atlantica to complete it?Not a chance they would do that in season. I reckon they will get all the footers in that aren't in or around Atlantica and Blue Fire, plus as much structure as possible up - so that once the main season ends on November 6th, they can then set to work. I would imagine that all the track work will be complete by the New Year. Atlantica and Blue Fire are both closed during the parks Winter season anyway (26th November - 8th January) but Iceland and Portugal will still be open during that time (there's a giant Big Wheel opens in Portugal and Snow Tubing in Iceland, for example).

Luke_A Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Only 2 more bents until they reach end of the lift! Not sure if they will carry on going backwards or if they will build the lift up to the top of the Barrel Structure. Anyway; the first drop is looking beautiful even without the metal track on it yet. Literally cannot wait to see this thing finished&to maybe ride it next year.

pluk Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 So different they're hardly comparable, but deep down I'd rather Thorpe were building this instead of The Swarm. Still, there's one island left. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 64 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I must admit I've never thought of wooden rollercoasters as being easy on the eye, they normally just look too 'messy' for me (my pseudo-OCDness coming out here). But I take it all back after having seen this drop. Wow. That looks insane. Germany is a very lucky girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraX Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 It just baffles me! I've never followed a wooden coaster's construction before. I'm all over this next season, it's incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 The pictures don't do it justice. I saw it in person last week and the view as you come towards the park from Colleseo is amazing. It really dominates the Atlantica area and the footprint is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've never realised just how large this project is. It seems to absolutely dominate that side of the park (at least that seems to be the impression from the pictures). it does look stunning.

AstroDan Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Europa-Park's 2013 Dark Ride project was today approved by Rust Municipal Council.It will be a family experience linked to Luc Besson's "Arthur and the Invisibles" IP. It will be built in conjunction with a carousel and mini freefall tower ride and complete the Enchanted Forest area of the theme park.It is rumoured to be a dark ride with coaster sections, from Mack Rides. Potentially a suspended powered coaster.It is part 2 of the parks €50million/£43million investment over the 2012 and 2013 seasons in the theme park.

Mark9 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks for that Dan. God, Europa really is the park that doesn't stop. What a park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Whilst a shame that Europa and it's general history of dark rides is using an IP, be interesting to see how they do it.I.e. They'll actually do it justice and THEN some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDan Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 The pacing on that No Limits is amazing. If the ride actually holds up that sort of speed, we will be in for a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
