Doubt it, not built by Vekoma. ;) That looks epic, through. I need that in my life.

Imagine doing a car reveal for that. :D

That's not a design though. That's concepts. You need proper detailed engineering drawings to do stuff like this, and you don't develop that stuff until you've got some of the application/pre-application stuff sorted. It'll take a huge engineering consultancy firm many many months to get that...

They can't get approval, design and build something this big in two years (giving them the benefit of the doubt as a late 2024 opening). It's simply not possible. It'd take twelve months for the design to be complete, let alone any semblance of a finished project.

Well yes, but something like Balder also probably costs a lot more than something like Troy. That's the real issue with the Intamin pre-fabs, they don't scale down that well.

It does indeed - thanks for the reminder!

Looks slow snow...? Or something.

Really? I thought most people who rode it thought it was turd. I sadly missed out, as it was closed the day I visited the park. :(

If we're talkin about sequels, in the sense of iterating forwards, I think Maverick has very much had successors. Taron, Helix, Taiga, Velocicoaster, a whole bunch of these Vekoma blitz coasters, and even to an extent rides like Ride To Happiness, Copperhead Strike and Time Traveller. I think...

Wow, that looks fantastic!

They should alternate - 30mins lights on, 30mins lights off, or something. However annoying it might be on ride, we shouldn't sacrifice those photo opportunities. <3

That too. :D

Looks so festive.

I thought their 2023 addition was going to be Iron Gwazi? I would be surprised they'd open anything the year right after that. ;)
