Walibi Holland | Lost Gravity | Mack Rides mega coaster

Re: Walibi Holland to get a Mack coaster for 2016

^That's the exact same height as Storm at Etnaland. I could see it being very similar (or possibly a clone of) that with an inversion(s) somewhere throughout the ride. I actually don't think it would appear too similar to Goliath, certainly not to the GP at least. It would be more family-friendly than Goliath (even with a little barrel roll), so I definitely think a Mack mega coaster is the most likely addition. It would probably be great; Alpina Blitz certainly is.

If it will actually be a Mack Mega, then Netherlands is turning into quite a fantastic country for coasters, especially considering how small the country is. Now Toverland just needs to build something fab <3

Looking forward to the announcement! Walibi Holland is on my radar for next year and the looks of this coaster could be the deciding factor.

Ooh so something IS actually happening then, was wondering!

Re: Walibi Holland to get a Mack coaster for 2016

It'll be a slight shame if its a small and short family spinner, they need another good quality steel coaster to compliment the amazing Goliath (the three Vekomas range from bad (El Condor) to half decent)

Any sign of the announcement? I checked the Facebook page and there's still no sign.

Errh, well apparently my source was wrong, I apologize for that.
Let's hope the announcement is close!

A Mack launched coaster would be great for their line up. Something similar to Helix would be great and be a great compliment for Goliath. Although based on the land they have planned it will need to be pretty compact.

I was at the park today and took some pictures.
I took them quite hastily, so they're not great.

I love the sense of mystery.

Re: Walibi Holland to get a Mack coaster for 2016

Hoping it's a mega lite/Alpina Blitz type of coaster

Re: Walibi Holland to get a Mack coaster for 2016

^With Goliath in the same park, I wouldn't find that a very logical decision.
Personally I hope it'll be something different.

So turns out the coaster is going to be a very bright yellow...

Re: Walibi Holland to get a Mack coaster for 2016

If you have Snapchat, add 'Walisnaps', everything up to now is to do with cars, speedometers, screeching car sounds, there was something on a bus etc.

That track looks really large too. Just announce it Walibi, ****'s sake.

Cool! This is only the second Mack installation utilizing the double spine, right? (other than Flash at Lewa World) This for sure means that it'll either be very big, or need large portions of unsupported track (like the Superman Ultimate Flight clones).



Off topic: It's a shame that this type of track wasn't invented back when Helix was built Think it would have made the construction on the mountain a lot easier and cheaper. It would probably also had made it possible to save more of the trees on site.

Really hoping for the former, but it's only meant to be just over 100ft
