Gipfel-Stürmer, Gerstlauer family Shuttle coaster...

[Anonymous]

It seems like they have completed the track for the Gerstlauer family Shuttle coaster at Freizeitpark Ruhpolding, according to the article in First Drop then it was supposed to be a Vekoma one like Ben 10, but they ended up with Gerstlauer instead...

Images of the ride can be found at: Airtimers.com

I think it looks really nice. It seems to fit on the hillside very well. Another coaster where I think it's a good family addition.

The two lifts look really short, and they both flatten out, maybe it'll have like a mini launch of something?

Looks like it has a decent pace, just a shame it doesn't really do much. That second lift looks a bit short too :?

Oh, and by looking at the pics on RCDB, its open already.

Also shows that it could have a launch at the top of each lift.

Loving that video! I think it looks really cool for a family coaster!

I found this latest video of the ride... unfortunately it's not a POV but it does display the mini launch element for each lift.

Thanks for posting that.

It does look fun, but as always, a little short.
