Usual Gerst stuff already. Though shame they didn't go with the near-vertical drop, best bit on Saw.

^It must've been changed. When I last checked, RCDB said the name was Katapult.

Well, it's been always Karacho, at least on screamscape too

^I swear Lance occasionally goes back and edits old stories so his accuracy is higher.
 
Re: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill | Katapult | Gerstlauer LSM

Looks good! - This is one of the more exciting coasters for 2013 to follow as we haven't seen a accurate layout yet.

Construction has well and truly started. These pictures are from Tripsdrill's Facebook page.

This one is getting the new trains, like Smiler has, with induvidual cars and lap bars only.
 
Re: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill | Karacho | Gerstlauer LSM

^ Is it?! :o Those trains are even uglier :(

Anyways, it looks good! Can't wait to get ERS on this beauty in october!
 
Re: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill | Karacho | Gerstlauer LSM

Perhaps, but they will most likely ride a lot better than the regular eurofigher ones does.

This image suggests it's just the standard 2x4 car:

That is concept art.
It will only be 2*4, but it will still be the new Smiler train.

"Gerstlauer Amusement Rides will install a new kind of train with a capacity of 8 passengers (2 rows of 4 seats). "We have developed this new train with a design more open and spacious. It will be our widest vehicle featuring the biggest running wheels that we ever used," said Andreas Simonis, Head of Project Planning and Development at Gerstlauer Amusement Rides."

That has to be one of the best/weirdest/funkiest looking turns I have ever seen on a coaster! :o
 
Re: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill | Karacho | Gerstlauer LSM

Does Tripsdrill belong to Merlin these days or why this colour scheme ... :-/
 
Re: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill | Karacho | Gerstlauer LSM

^just because a ride is grey doesn't mean the park is owned by Merlin, I'm not sure if that post was meant to be a joke but if it was, it wasn't funny.
 
Re: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill | Karacho | Gerstlauer LSM

I would not know mate, I've been off the theme park scene for 8 years, I just now start to get back into it and all I see is black/grey rides being built by Merlin.
