That sounds really interesting it will be interesting to see how mack create there own launch as it will be a whole new concept for them. Does anyone have a plan of the ride becasue the picture on there web site does not show much info on how the ride will be like.

Its good to see that the Mack family seem to finally be changing their mind about inversions, as thats the one thing that Europa Park lacks. If this is indeed a mack coaster, it'll be really interesting to see what the restraints are like.
Is there any links availible here? It sounds exciting, but I'd like to see something official. All I remember seeing is some blue corkscrew somewhere...
Just do a google search 
At the moment the only information is on their site and some others but there is very little information at the moment.

The land is not even ready yet from what we could see, they were still clearing land.

For those who cant be bothered to look it up
Is that not Dragon Khan in the background? (its not but its close)
Anyway I'm really looking forward to this coaster.
I am of the opinion that Mack are one of the most underrated companies out there. EP is an amazing place and rides such as Euro Mir are both unique and extremely fun. If this turns out to be a large multi looping coaster and it turns out well it could just push them into the league with the big boys.

Vertical construction has started, not much but it's a start!

Can any mod go get the topic glue?
Funny that they are starting with the launch track, though. I'd believe that the mechanical components would be the last thing to install, but it seems like I'm wrong then!

Sounds... well, it's Mack, and they make literally everything. I have no idea what to expect from this.
But somehow I feel that it won't be top-class. Just a weird feeling...

That's far too wide to be a tophat-- so an overbank is more probable.
Although looking at those footers, it seems that something a little more interesting may be happening right after the launch. Perhaps a straight tophat with a curving drop into that hill right there.
