Before anyone gets too exited for the Tilt coaster after seing the video - keep in mind that that is a fan made video. The shaping of those elements as well as their dimensions might not be exactly on point. Don't get me wrong, if it were as full throttle as this video implies, I'd be more than happy; As well as I would love to see a Vekoma rivaling Lech at Energylandia, whith Formula and Abyssus being a little bit more tame.
I might ruin the next video, but I can tell you that the forces differ a lot between Lech and Fønix with the former one being designed for "maximum" thrills and the latter one being a little bit toned down. The major difference is simply the shaping of the elements, with Lech being just a little bit tighter at every turn. And it's that "a little bit" that is hard to judge from just an artwork.
About the whole construction slowing (significantly) down. On the one hand, I have to agree. What Energylandia built between 2018 and 2019 is simply insane. Hyperion, Speed, Dragon Zone (including Zadra) and Aqualantis was very likely just delayed because of Covid.
However, I would like to note that 3 years between the opening of 2 major investments (Aqualantis in 2021 and Sweet Valley in 2024) is still very good. Most parks take 4-5 years to just build one new attraction, so taking 3 years to open a new themed area is not bad at all. We just got used to Energylandia building huge attractions as if they were Wacky Worms.
It should've been clear to everyone that Energylandia wouldn't be able to keep that insane development speed up - keep in mind that the park opened in 2014. I admit that Sweet Valley is earlier than I anticipated, but it is still reasonable. The Tilt coaster will be the last major development supported by the EU (by only a fraction of the costs, but subsidised nontheless, and everything after that will likely be paid out of pocket. The park has good financials, but even they can't print money.
With the pace the park grew between 2014 and 2019 in mind, it is amazing how much they were even able to build in such a short timeframe.
I am not sure about the hotel, though. I know that it was delayed by a bit because they wanted to combine it with the carp museum (Zator is the carp region of poland), but I haven't heard much since. I also don't know about any subsidies the park might get for the hotel.
