Matt 236 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Whilst the park has indeed built some highly impressive rides and luckily has the ground setting and creativity to do so, it is such a great shame that the local housing positions have proved such a problem for the park that some projects have been downscaled or scrapped altogether. Apparently the recently denied water park plans originally stated for the theme park to also be extended too, but that was since downgraded. The park's planning problems seem to be similar to Legoland's and Towers to an extent. Lets hope they can eventually buy all those houses in close proximity to the park.

Benin Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Given that the neighbours pretty much live on the park boundary, they are within their right to have some concerns... Good parks work within their constraints though... JoshC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 The park have confirmed that Klughiem will feature two new coasters. The second will be called 'Raik', and is a Vekoma family Boomerang. Given the positioning of footers, it seems possible that the lift and end of circuit will go underneath River Quest's first drop. pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Two coasters in one year? Amazing! 2016 is definitely going to be one hell of a year for Phantasialand and safe to say it definitely has the most exciting developments too. That's sealed the deal on Phantasia being the must do list next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 So it would seem this is what we can expect from the RQ revamp! Guess no body actually reads articles or concept art. 2001 is written on it. stretchy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pognoi Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 It's a valid point raised, but when rides are constructed the final piece is chosen from normally a variety of concepts. It's quite possible, if the original concept and this one had a similar footprint/ride structure etc. that they have gained more money since then and are able to go back and redo the ride in a better manner.

Benin Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 From what I judged it's comparing original artwork to new look stuff... Also two coasters in that mess is utterly amazing... And required for the younger visitors tbh... Great work from the park to bring such an addition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 On another note, here's some renders of how the rides will incorporate (to be honest it's not amazing in how well they interact, but it's a feat in itself for being able to fit another coaster in underneath this giant bundle of knots) So it's again a slightly altered layout (it seems, so far, no 2 boomerangs of this kind have been exactly the same) but this one appears closer to Paulton's one then Ben 10. The reverses will be in a new tower building above the old outside turn of river quest. I NEEEED IT NOOOOWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 That layout of the boomerang is in no way confirmed, purely an idea created by a german user called Tobi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Probably have to wait till tomorrow for that knowledge... Its annoying given how much is riding on it not having OTSRs, but from the brief glimpses it looks like we'll have Mack style ones... So yay...

J.S217 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Restraints for Taron might be like the Italian 10 looper https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/12510404_1028724007166763_4613340910258865548_n.jpg?oh=39a5434481a80f5de94c0b89bde27fcb&oe=57369EBF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 As long as they are not like the restraints on Colossus,Indy and most Intamins we should be okay. Mack style restraints would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 It looks like the skyrush restraints. Over the head lap bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 As long as they are not like the restraints on Colossus, Indiana Jones and most Intamins we should be okay. Mack style restraints would be nice though. Would be a bit bizarre on a new ride for them to fit restraints that haven't been used for over a decade. pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Would be a bit bizarre on a new ride for them to fit restraints that haven't been used for over a decade. I was referring to most Intamin restraints in general, as they aren't as comftable as restraints on coasters by the likes of B&M, Mack or even Vekoma [on their newer designs at least]. Hopefully Taron will have a restraint system that makes for a comftable ride and won't detract the experience. The factor Indy & Colossus use the same restraint type is probably a coincidence. Rita's restraints aren't all that great either and I expect it's the same for the likes of Baco & Tornado as well. The restraints on the 10 looper at Cinecitta are an improvement to say the least, but I'm sure there is still room for improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 To be fair, I'm pretty certain all Intamin coasters built in the last few years have had lap bars, so it would be surprising if either Intamin or Phantasialand decided to not on have them on this project.

EC! Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 7 Brightness enhanced version of the new train, and it very much looks like skyrush without the winged seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 ^ Indeed. It's what happens when you cross a lap bar with an OTSR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
