Oh, I nevere thought of that, Kinda like the new Gerstlauer Launch coasters?
The back tiers seem very high and when they are menouvering the corkscrews, they seem, I don't know the correct word, blocky/wide? If you understand what I mean, they seem to large to navigate the element, to put it in better words!

Looks like they have copied the Twisted Horseshoe Roll from Maverick.

I thought Intamin would have put a copyright on the name of the element or something.
It looks really painful to me though. Probably just the angle.

Dear God.....
Check out the third photo on the link above for the first part of the overbank out of the loop.... is it me or is that stupidly low... i mean that looks about 1/3 of the height of the loop....
Going to fly through that at some speed. this ride just gets better and better.

Look really tight too! It should be pretty cool overall really. Europa Park was in danger of getting a bit too family-centric, but this'll add to its thrill lineup again. Obviously its not going to hold the same scare-factor as Silver Star, just because of it being much smaller (mind you it has got inversions, and they're scary to the public), but its going to look pretty intimidating compared to every other coaster in EP. They'll be even more complete as a park with Blue Fire.
Really like the name too!

I like the trains but am I the only one thinking that the final inline twist will not work. Just like Maverick I knew it would be taken out. This just looks like it could turn out to be a disaster with the launch of the ride and full of delays. I could be wrong but I feel it may not work. Though I am so impressed with how the ride looks ^^

What? If the heartlines are removed on this then that's a shame because there's no reason that I can see why they shouldn't. They're near the end of the ride and the ride has burned off a lot of it's speed already. Maverick's heartline was almost right after a launch. I would be more surprised at this not working than I was when Maverick didn't.
Maybe this ride will save Mack's reputation once and for all? Personally, I am as excited about this as I was about Lynet, but it could be the 2009 answer to Maverick...
The name is also cool. Let's just hope that this isn't a project name and that it will be called Volkswagen: die Fahrt

it still looks like its going 30-40mph in the heart line roll in the pov. I just either think it will be a painful inversion or too strong for people to cope with and it will be taken out. Thats just my opinion though and it may work. If Mack have done it properly and not rushed it, this should work. But a majority of people thought that about Maverick is all I was saying.

Thats true it looks like it has been constructed better. Best luck to the ride, is this like a record breaker with having the most inversion with no over the head restraint?
Well I know the trains go over your head and that but its literally ends up being a lap bar? So is this a record breaker?

Sorry probably misunderstood what you meant.
What does/did Laser have? as that does more than 1 loop.
Other than the ones I mentioned I can not think of any others tbh.
Seeing how long it takes to load Slammer I can see the throughput on this coaster being a bit slow. But saying that they were very fast on all other rides in that park, probably the best I have ever seen.

Another smallish update:
http://www.epfans.info/?id=2300&
No more track has been added, this updates more about the new roads etc.. but its pretty clear now that it'll go loop > insane looking overbank > MCBR > maverick style turn + rest.
Looking at the first picture in that update its suprising to see how steep that first turn actually goes. Looks very much like an Immelman turn almost.

^ 6 because they'd most probably count that overbank after the loop too
