A public meeting earlier this week in Rust discussed the coaster project. Little extra information was given out about the ride itself however; focus was on the surroundings and noise concerns.
- ride is for the same target group as Silver Star and Blue Fire
- the tallest point of the coaster will be 32m and the speed approx. 80 km/h
- 1,600m track length - which would make it the 3rd longest coaster in Europe (cause let's face it Ultimate is dead)
- due to the relatively low height, the park itself serves as the first noise protection barrrier
- environmental measures are being taken into account for bats which are active in the area therefore most trees will be retained and the amount of lighting will not exceed the current amount of lighting in the area
- the facade of the station building takes after architecture of the Balkans, a sketch showed a building with several gate and window arches (no signs of this being two duelling coasters as rumoured over the years after all according to those who saw the sketch)
- Jurgen Mack stressed the ride will not be sponsored

The other major topic was complaints about noise pollution caused by Wodan. The park blames wear and tear, especially in certain curves, and wants to remedy the situation with additional noise protection walls, noise protection mats and retracking work.
Wodan’s turn through Atlantica Supersplash already received a sound barrier this year.
