Maybe breaking through the scaffolding is part of "the Quest" experience?

Interesting that they used the Spirit model of boomerang (which seems like the best to me). I get a bit confused as to the similarities and differences between these coasters at Emerald Park and the original idea at Tripsdrill, but these Vekoma "shared supports" coasters are a great idea. Family Suspended + Family Boomerang could work for some parks too.

I think it will look awesome when the castle with "the Quest" station is finished that the STC goes through.
Perfectly tuned investment for the park.

Interesting to note here that they seem to already want to plan the next big coaster if tir na nòg goes well over the next couple months. What do we think it could be? I’d love an rmc

Hopefully Vekoma impresses them, as a launch, flying, or even tilt coaster would be amazing

I would love to see somthing like a family launch coaster. That like big bear mountain in dollywood would be great.

I think the duo at Emerald does not have any shared supports, unlike the Tripsdrill duo, maybe it caused too much vibrations and it was better to keep them separated

A tilt would be fantastic tbf

Agreed, this would be the best fit for the park I reckon.

A multi-launch definitely seems to be the thing they're missing - possibly an Intamin Blitz or Mack Extreme Spinner, but more than that, I could imagine a Vekoma like Abyssus.
Ah, very interesting, thanks. Still a good use of shared space.

Rode them both yesterday. Na Fianna Force is my favourite invert given it's lap bars and unique set of elements of a ride of its kind. It offers some very rapid directional changes, floaty inversions, strong positive G's and some amazing ejector airtime! It's strongest at the back if you want the more extreme experience.
The Quest is great fun also and does provide some fun pockets of floater.
The area's theming and landscaping are still a work in progress, but what has been finished so far looks gorgeous. I was a bit unsure on green playground style fencing, it does detract from the authentic looking stonework and rockwork, but I guess each country has different health and safety requirements. The long stretch of tarmac from Na Fianna Force to The Quest isn't entirely themed, which is a shame because much of that is very plain. When the area is completely finished, I'm sure that the themed parts of it will be among the best in Europe.
