Ok so there is every chance this could be an early April fools joke, but it seems like Fraispertuis City in France is getting the first RMC Raptor outside of the US, and a custom one at that:-

[Fraispertuis] Projet Storky - Raptor RMC Custom (2024/2025)

Grosse annonce!! On a reçu les accords pour publier une partie de nos recherches donc on vous partage en exclusivité les informations qu'on a pu trouver pour le nouveau projet attraction de Fraispertuis. Pour notre plus grand plaisir, nous avons reçu il y a 3 semaines une première photo d'une...

Its stated to be 600m long (52m longer than stock Raptors), 40m high, will have 3 inversions and will feature one "unique element", currently slated as being some form of double inversion. How exciting!

EDIT:- Low-res image of the train - definitely a stork on the front and it appears to be 8 seats long.

Something of note is that this coaster will be the same height as JD, but only slightly longer than the prototype Raptors, so it's probably gonna be a fairly short ride.

Well this is unexpected! This would be an amazing coup for a diddy little place like Fré-par-twee.
It's a really nice little park actually in a beautiful part of the world, but it's not one I expected to go back to anytime soon, if ever. But with a custom Raptor in the lineup I could be very tempted to make a cheeky lil return visit.
Good on 'em, I say. The world needs more Raptors.

Yeah was an elaborate Aprils Fools collaboration between the park and the guys behind CoastersWorlds.fr. :(

That was an evil, evil prank but very believable. Can a mod lock the topic please.

Genuine shame it's not real because they really need a new coaster and it would've been a great fit for the park.

I don't understand April Fool's jokes that make you look better than you are. In the end you're a park that jokes about building a cool coaster and you end up not having same one, probably because you don't have enough money. The joke is on them then.

Jackass move. I know a US park did this a few years ago but the name is slipping my mind. Had a bunch of angry non-thoosies extremely angry about it.

Yeah I agree with this. I think April Fools Day creates weak banter at best and I'd rather it didn't exist but this Raptor one doesn't seem in the spirit of it. A good example is Knott's saying their log flume will now run with berry juice, you read it and think 'hehe, that's silly'. But a medium size park announcing a medium sized coaster they could feasibly get for an April Fools joke feels off.

April Fool's should either be silly jokes that are obviously false (see the Knotts' log flume), or something that can be immediately seen to be false (eg clicking a link that takes you to a Rick Roll or similar). They should also exclusively be on April 1st.

Those rules have been broken here, and that's a shame. One can only hope that this is used as a basis for something big going forward, and they've used this to gauge reactions. Especially given the fair amount of effort gone into it.
