Not sure if we'll actually get any construction updates considering the park and it's location, but at least their website is available in English so you never know...

It could be an Infinity, Smiler has a vertical lift for one...

I hope it's an Infinity, it would be cool to see more of them.

^It'll be an Infinity; the Eurofighter is pretty much dead now. We may see the odd rage clone being built but I wouldn't expect any park to purchase a custom Eurofighter, they'd be stupid to do so with the Infinity being the heir to the Gerstlaueur throne.

^ That's quite a statement considering there's only what, 2?

So what actually differs between the two?

^More flexibility in the trains I believe, although that also means that the track has the ability to become more customized, since the trains are more flexible.

It's basically the next generation of their looping coasters (i.e. Eurofighters).

But Karacho (?) has the usual Eurofighter trains, even though it's basically a Gerst Launch coaster (Lynet, Anubis etc)...

Karacho is an Infinity coaster and features a new chassis, wheel base and frame. It's the same as the smiler bar the restraints and the number of cars per train.

If the Eurofighter was dead, why would Adventure World build Abyss?

So the same as a Eurofighter but with a new chassis, wheel base and frame? :p

Isn't this a small South American park in Colombia?
Yeah, I though so...
It'll be a EuroFighter.

It'll be a Rage clone then.

For the others that have posted above; The Infinity coaster IS basically a Eurofighter. I'm not trying to be a smartass here and pretend I know more than others, because I don't, everything I know about the Infinity comes from Gerstlauers website. It's very clear that they intent to replace the Eurofighter with the Infinity.

The Infinity is basically taking the Eurofighter, revamping it and renaming it. I think they're doing it because they've found a better way to build Rollercoasters and feel that it's worthy of launching it under a new name.

And Ethan; The more recent Eurofighters built whilst the Infinity has been in production have all followed a trend; they're off the shelf models. And yes, I'm including Abyss under that umbrella too. It may not be identical to Saw but it's cut from the same cloth.

All I'm saying is that IF Gerstlauer ever roll out another custom model Eurofighter I'll run around Downing Street naked.

Since when was the Eurofighter dead? The Eurofighter is ideal for small/indoor parks. Its cheaper and compact. I doubt Gerstlauer would phase out one of their prize possesions (next to spinners and infinity).

Definetly not an Infinity coaster considering the size of the park. Not a custom Infinity either. Its higher than the 320 model. Probably a custom Eurofighter.

This is the park in coffee country in way rural Colombia that Zambezi Zinger was relocated to, like, 15 years ago or something, and that's the only coaster activity it's seen ever, right? A park like that is going to be very attracted to a Eurofighter imo, that sounds like a good move.

It'll be a Rage clone then.
Except its a good 20ft taller and a fair bit faster than Rage.

It's suspiciously the same height as Abyss but a lower top speed.

All I'm saying is that IF Gerstlauer ever roll out another custom model Eurofighter I'll run around Downing Street naked.

So holding you to this :p

It'll be a Eurofighter, with some very sexy trains!

This could be an Iron Shark clone, the stats match up, but it's just a weird layout to clone, considering it was designed specifically to fit on the pier.

They have this picture of Iron Shark on their website, but that could just be for reference of course.

Those trains are fantastic - shame I can't say the same about their logo.

I like the restrains and the paint job. Basically everything about it is great.

Looks to be a clone of Iron Shark.
