AstroDan Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Being met with a positive reaction on German speaking forums, I give you... (the german "W" is pronounced like an English "V" - so this is something like vo-darn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDan Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Research it on Wikipedia. Remember this is a German park, not looking to have English names on everything that would suit our tongues and dialects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Research it on Wikipedia. Remember this is a German park, not looking to have English names on everything that would suit our tongues and dialects. Really? A foreign park would use it's own language instead of ours? Learn something new everyday I guess...I'm just unsure how it sounds in my head... It doesn't sound like a roller-coaster by my tastes... Voooooodarn just sounds like a play on Wooden... Quite unimaginative in a way...Personally, hope it's not that... Just doesn't fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a park that has Supersplash and megacoaster in the name of two of its existing coasters. Voodan to me is quite neat and tounge in cheek enough to be acceptable.

AstroDan Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wodan has plenty of links to the theme of the ride too. In addition 'Timbur' is the ancient Icelandic word for Wood, which conviently sounds like 'timber' too.So it works both ways. :)EDIT - just noticed some people typing 'voo'dan - it's not, it is 'vo-darn'.

Tom Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Actually it's typed 'Wodan', as that is the name. It's just not pronounced like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Actually it's typed 'Wodan', as that is the name. It's just not pronounced like that.Well, obviously... just being helpful with the pronounciation and phonological spelling of the word.

AstroDan Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I am going to EP from 29 December for a few days over New Year, and have arranged to meet up with one of the directors of the park so we can be shown the new coaster.If anybody has any burning questions about the ride that you'd like me to try and ask - let me know and I will be happy to do my best!As it stands, the ride looks beautiful! The hop over Atlantica is now more or less complete, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Some technical details:The ride will have 3 trains (GCI First), rubber wheels (GCI first) with the hard and soft option if needed and lapbars only.LAP-BARS YAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 ALTHOUGH!TUV (the German H&S mob) have said that due to the lack of seat-belts the bars will lock LOWER than they normally would.Soooooooo riders with large girth (Raptor <3) may have an issue, but a test seat will no doubt appear to help sort it out.Though imo, I remember loads of enthusiasts panicking cos of Raptor having 'tight fittting' restraints, and no-one did the walk of shame. So whatever (it doesn't affect me in the slightest ANYWAY). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I don't care about the whole large girth thing, people shouldn't be so fat. It's disgusting and completely unfair on the staff who have to try and force them in or get them out (yes, try getting large people out of air in flying position, then try and not dislike all of them).Just new ride is wooo!
