Looks like it will just be a slightly larger version of that new coaster at Hanse Park. Looks fun, though its not really going offer much of a different experience to the Tivoli coaster they have.

It is, infact, a generic height just like 40m; it's 50m exactly. Obviously someone wrote down 50 instead of 15. And rcdb can make mistakes; they've got Thorpe's new ride down as having 5 inversions for example.

Aside from that this looks really great, these Gerstlauers are usually awesome and will add to their nice little coaster collection.

I couldn't quite place where this was going to be built before, but looking at those pics, it's pretty much to the left of Falcon. That makes sense I guess, although it looks like they're going to be pretty close to eachother. "Gerstlauer Corner", anyone? It's like a Muller Corner, but more lumpy.

The more I look at that layout, the more I think this could be a fab little coaster. The first drop looks steep, and there's a few Rita style hills in there, so this could be a mini airtime machine.

I love themed supports. I still can't get moist over this though.

Looks dull. And kinda pointless when you consider they have the Tivoli coaster that is practically the same...

I thought it was meant to be a mine train theme, what's with the train! .

^It's very plain isn't it? :?

Looks like any other kiddie coaster, so...

Re: Duinrell |"Unknown"| Gerstlauer family coaster

Oh god, that train is hideous. Little disappointed, tbh, although I guess it's intended for families, so it'll do the job. I won't be rushing back out there though.

I can't stop wondering about the Tivoli though. It's so ancient, it's nearly as old as me. Is it different enough to this new ride? I guess that, at almost twice the height (the Tivoli is 8m), this looks a lot more intimidating especially to children.

Oh well, whatever happens, I hope that this is a success for the park, and that it allows them to make some more exciting investments in the not too distant future. Actually, thinking about it, they seem to have thrown a lot of money at the resort as a whole over the last few years (posh shower/toilet block for campers, shiny shop/restaurant complex for holiday park residents, complicated pneumatic death slide in the water park...) so they're obviously doing OK for themselves. Lets keep our fingers crossed :)

I think that this coaster is a great kiddie coaster. Not sure which one is better, Ben 10 or this.

Okay, it's not the most thrilling in the world is it?

I suppose it's better than this...

But it'll do for a nice decent family coaster...for such a compact footprint, it's a good investment though..

^ It was a good investment considering this is generally a family park, but I just see it as a mere cred! ;) But those trains are just gross.

Hopefully after its broke in, and some theming has been added, it'll be a little bit more exciting.

It's just another family coaster, nothing to shout home about. I like how it has the same support theme as Falcon though. When i was there in the summer i saw the footprint and i figured it would be fairly average. Will be interesting to see if they will dismantle Kikker-8-Baan and if they put something else under the water ride.
