Gerstlauer - Sky Roller

[Mit deLuxe]

Hey I was checking the Gerstlauer website when I came across a really good looking flat ride. Does anybody know if there is one situated closer to the UK, or even one actually built in a Park?

That guy is upside down :shock: . Looks great any one know?

I remember someone showing me this before. I think it looks like a giant washing line.

I haven't heard of any parks getting one but it looks a bit too spinny for my liking.

Looks like something that belongs in Lego Land to me :?

Been posted before. Not sure if I'd like to ride one. Looks a bit...odd?

I remember seeing this before too. It looks good but very gimmicky.

I can't see any major park getting this though due to the horrendous capacity it will have, with what, only being able to take about 16 people at a time.

I don't like the idea of being out on your own. Rides are much more fun with someone next to you.

It looks horrible. Even paineted a nice colour it would probably spoil the look of a park.

That guy is upside down :shock:

Shock, horror!!

Why's that a bad thing?

This looks quality, controlling your own ride is great to attract many different people.

The ride looks quite fun, but its one of the uglyest rides I have ever seen.

^ It's just a prototype, which was later moved to Deutschen Museums in Munich.

There is more pictures and info at: http://www.coastersandmore.de/rides/sky ... ller.shtml
It's in German though...

Looks really fun actually! would be better if you had 2 seats to a pod though. And you had to work together to make it do crazy things.

Yeah I posted bout this ages ago when it was first announced. Being the fanboy and that, haha.

I don't think it'll catch on just yet, as it needs some tweaking me thinks.

It looks fun but also pretty ugly, like everyone else has said. It would definitely be better with 2 to a seat because you lose half the fun of riding when you're by yourself, in my opinion.

They have moved the one at the Deutche Museums to Belantis, and I can't wait to ride it in a few weeks

Just look at it:

Such an awesome idea, I can see these popping up, maybe at Oakwood.

It reminds me of the flying ride at Movie Park Germany. This looks miles better though, especially the way you can flip and rotate on the seats/wings.
