"Anubis" - Gerstlauer Launch for Plopsaland

^ But FvN also have a lift, and the other launches don't.

Comparing the 2 cars, then the Eurofighter is much shorter allowing it to handle the tight radius that is associated with a EF lift-hill, but why they don't use the same trains on the "normal" launcher is beyond me, they are really nice though and they give a great view in all rows.

Very true. I prefer the look of the 2x3 trains.

Plus most of the Launch Coaster have a top hat, which the Eurofighter would give a lot of lats on the sides, so a 2 seat configuration works out better.

This one almost looks better then Lynet. The launch and top-hat is ace!!

Wow, the launch into the top hat looking bit looks so slick.

A trip to Plopsaland is in order this year (with a side mission to pick up some cheap tobacco).

One word... YUM!

Yep looks great. Good pace and flows well, I like the park anyway.

A trip in the summer would be good though as I know a nice beach and bars about 15 mins down the road from the park. I might make a weekend of it just to get away for a few days,

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

Awesome...

I want one...

 

[Anac0nda]

Looks like lots and lots of lat-G's! The train literally flies through the track!

Definitely does to me!

I think the top hat - dive loop - twisty hill - immelmann combination looks awesome. 2009 seems to be the 'very interesting-looking LSM coasters in Europe' year!

Someone posted a POV on youtube.

That is tasty!

Wow, looks like a great little ride and hopefully I will go Plopsland sometime soon.

Not much airtime except for the top-hat, but a good short ride anyway.

When I saw the preview picture on the youtube window it almost looked like Blue Fire

 

[nealbie]

Colour scheme looks fab in the sunshine as well!

 

[Ollie]

Am I the only one that thinks it doesn't look as good as I thought it would be?
There doesn't seem to be as much airtime as I thought and after the top hat the track seem to not know where it wants to go be before it straightens up for the inline.

 

[Ben]

It looks OK...


Would probably more interesting if it was built by a company who have a clue.

 

[marc]

That is going to hurt over the top hat, and that inline is going to give hang time.

Oh great, I hate slow inversions!

I'm really looking forward to Fluch von Novgorod making you stop whining about Gerstlauer Ben :roll:.

 

[Dave]

Gerstlauer are awesome, so nerr.


I love the ending of the ride.
