Vulcania | Namazu | Intamin Family Launch Coaster | 2021

[Hixee]

I suppose we can move this to Construction, then.

 

[JoshC.]

RCDB are listing this as a multi pass LSM launch (aka Swing Launch). That's surely a mistake?

Unless something has changed since the original plans, which seemed to state it was a single launch, especially since that layout doesn't lend itself to being a swing launch?

 

[CrashCoaster]

It looks to me like a small Intamin family launch that has two seperate launches from the plans. Not sure it will even have LSMs tbh, tyres are my bet.

Nearly as strange of an update source as @roomraider's analysis of people's skiing holiday pictures!

The park sent us on Coastersworld the first teaser for the ride !
Layout seems completed

The park sent us on Coastersworld the first teaser for the ride !

They sent it to everyone, didn't they?
I was hoping for a bit more when I opened the email, tbh.

Today's email had this attached. Much more like what I was expecting.

I like how this minces through the trees:

Looks like Hagrid's and Th13teen had a baby.

Isn't the new Epic Universal park supposed to get a lengthy Intamin family coaster like this? In the Dragon's area or whatever...

Some new stuff with the station, trains and picture from the construction site !


Here is how the area will look like:


And finally the storyline of the ride:

Namazu, visit an advanced scientific base and accompany seismologists to discover an active seismic zone.

Guests will discover an environment very evocative of the theme of earthquakes and will immediately be immersed in the atmosphere: the area seems to have been shaped by an earthquake that impacted both the landscape and the buildings.

The ground seems to rise in layers, faults and cracks appear on the paths and constructions. The Namazu science team has established its seismology monitoring and research laboratory on a particularly unstable fault. Its seismic activity allows numerous surveys and facilitates research. Even so, the area remains dangerous, although the buildings are of earthquake-resistant design, the area is often evacuated for safety.

Before taking off-road vehicles specially designed to access rugged areas to join the Namazu team in place on the ground, guests are invited to enter in groups into the forward base to meet the Namazu team leader.

Ok, I really like it. Nice surprise that it will feature a drop track, and I wish so hard that Thirteen was like this.

Also just be pedantic, it doesn't use LSMs.

 

[JuliOverbank]

Nice to experience a drop track on quad!

 

[JoshC.]

Wasn't expecting those trains!

I'm genuinely really excited to see this come to life, and can't wait to see the theme park side of this place grow further. Gutted that the place really is so far from everything else.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Looking at the layout again, it actually looks like the train will come straight out the station and into a left-hand turn, straight into the drop track. The train will drop, then go into the first launch. Nice to start the ride off with a bang!

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

This looks so sweet! Love the sprawling layout, especially around the "forested" area.
Also didn't realise this was gonna have Juvelen-trains!

 

[Ries]

I like how it manoeuvres between the trees and they kept a few instead of cutting them down like most parks.
Also the track on the terrain looks nice. I like it so far. (Not a big fan of the quads, but it fits).

Construction update from the park.
