JoshC. Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Does anyone know why it even exists? My first thought would of course be to use it when the park is heaving to try and increase throughput. But when we went, the park was really quiet and queues never went above 30 minutes (and even then, Mystery didn't even go above 15 from what I remember...), which would sort of throw that theory out the window.

Mark9 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah the short version of Mystery Castle is just disappointing... A real shame it even exists to be frank... I also find Mamba, a bit dull... It's a real ride of two halves, as the inversions are all pretty fab, yet the constant turns after are just dull and repetitive... A shame cos it has all the right ingredients... Rode Black Mamba again today as it was walk on... Still meh. It has a rattle the entire way round, and because it spends all of the time close to the ground, the effect is lost. Understandable. I love Black Mamba though, I think it's a cracking ride. Winjas is fun but not polished. Has some areas of great theming, however some parts felt a bit dead. The pacing on both is good however and I like the layouts. Agreed. I think Winjas just seems unfinished for some reason, like it was meant to be so much more. Disagree on pacing, the trick track completely kills it for me.

Altitude Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah both days I went the queue for a Mystery Castle never went over 10 minutes, however yesterday they did the short cycle all day. On our second go on it yesterday, there was literally no queue yet the cycle was still cut in half. Annoying as like I said, I think the full ride is fab as it actually gives you something to compare the finale to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'd like to see something done with the indoor dark parts of winjas but I do actually think it's one of the best, if not the best spinner out there, and it definitely makes great use of its trick tracks. As a duelling coaster it doesn't work, however seperately they are 2 really fantastic rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I miss Phantasialand so much already I rarely feel that way about parks so I guess I love it there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 The ONLY thing that could potentially ruin this ride would be OTSRs... HOPEFULLY the coaster gods will look down upon this ride and give us normal lapbars or Intamin's take on the Mack Mega Coaster ones...

Altitude Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I still think the rocks look a bit odd but I'm sure when it's finished Klugheim will look fabulous. Those curves tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 If it's already visually stunning now, imagine what it'll look like when it's finished! Really can't wait to see the result of this ride looks and runs (and as Benin said) as long as the restraints aren't too heavy (I.e Helix) this will be an amazing ride! I think I'll have to plan a visit here for 2016! OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Potential candidate for the best looking 2016 ride in Europe right there! This monster looks phantastic! Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I can't wait to see it all with the plastic off too! I also can't wait to see what Phantasialand has waiting for us after Klugheim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mah boi Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I haven't been keeping up with this incredible looking ride, so I don't know much about this coaster. If anyone knows, why have they kept the wrapping over the track if they could just use a tarpaulin to protect it from any liquids and substances? And also what model coaster is this?

It will be an Intamin coaster with multiple launches. The reason for the covering is probably lay due to weather and protection during construction (I expect more rock to appear on this project).

Altitude Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't believe so, not that I saw anyway. I think this will be more like Juvelen than Helix or Maverick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Never said it was! I've heard great things about it too! My point was about it not having inversions, and having two launches. BenC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 That coaster site is massive! It's almost the size of a whole area too. Don't think I've been excited this much for an intamin coaster since Thirteen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Tomorrow I should be booking a return trip to this amazing little park for the start of September! I'm hoping tonnes more work will have been done to the coaster by the time I get there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
