Looks like there will be an upside down launch for the Vekoma thrill coaster. Perhaps part of the "worlds first" feature (but its not really)

Note how the whole right side is blown out, but the explosion and start of fire was only located in the left side. In Sweden atleast I dont feel like I have ever seen a fire related explosion just blow up the whole building. Wth happend here

Y'all must me joking, the old one looks like ****, seriously..

That seems quite excessive, if by hardware they mean just the track, launch elements etc. Fury 325 cost 30m dollars and that is in total, constrution is a large part of that 30m. But sure, FF could be north of 100m in total given how bespoke many elements seem to be.

Here is the best picture I have found of the accident. The third carriage from the front looks the most damaged, possibly causing some kind of crushing injury to the rider. I for sure thought that Jetline had new trains, or at least was recently fully refurbished? It ran great 2 yrs ago last...

Im gussing the lift hill will use LSMs like Maverick, more lift less launch. Might be cheaper or at least a more simple design then the worlds longest cable lift.

New spline in the track is interesting, I guess the four across seating is a little more stressful on the track (also hope for less rattle!)

That layout would also be perfect for Gröna Lund given the height restrictions that are in place (this is also a little wishful thinking ;) )

Nice! Give me another 200 feet coaster and I might consider coming back! 😁

I'm constantly surprised how temperamental coasters can be, you would think a 500 ton engineering marvel would be more consistent. Heres how I rank Helix over the years; 2014; Wow! Glass smooth, one of my favorite coasters. 9.5/10 2016; Wtf?! 2 yrs and its has this rattle? 7.5/10 2020; What...

Regarding service life, many Arrow steel coasters have been running for 40 yrs, and I think a lot of them have not been retracked. So lets chill a bit with the doom and gloom ;) But regarding El Toro specifically, it will probably need one given that Balder and Colussos had one too.

Hahaa I'm of the exact same opinion, I just love the free seating of Mack and new Intamins!

Any new source for POV? 0.o

Im pretty sure ive seen a news article mentioning there might be a ride placed in that location.

Regarding the height I wonder if this isn't a case of 33m height with ~25m drop. Speed is on par with Volldampf, 60 vs 68kmh. Anyway, I always thought these looked really fun, will be nice to try it out. Liseberg is really expanding quite a lot the last 10 yrs
