Wiener Prater New Cred

[Chris Brown]

So RCDB have confirmed a new cred for 2017 at Wiener Prater in Vienna, although no details have been released yet could we be looking at something decent?

Just thinking they had Olympia Looping for a bit and would have likely seen an increase of visitors over this period, there is obviously a large area now unoccupied where Lopping previously stood, could the owners have dipped into the coaster market on the back of the success of homing Olympia for a bit?

Edit just found this...

is why we are planning again at least two new attractions A roller coaster for the whole family and a driving device For adrenaline junkies

Could we be seeing another Maurer Sohne Spike??

Maybe they are adding another Wild Mouse

 

[TilenB]

Or a spinner, they certainly need another one of those...

 

[caffeine_demon]

or an SLC - so they have the unholy trinity of the 3 crappest coasters (volare, slc and boomerang)

 

[SimonSays99]

^SLC- piece of cake!
Behold: The get an Interpark WildWind *puke*

 

[Gavin]

^ Their Boomerang's fab though.

^ Their Boomerang's fab though.

Agreed! I'm glad there are more Boomerangs getting Sunkid trains lately, they're a big improvement over the old Vekoma/Arrow ones (even the new-gen vest ones).

 

[caffeine_demon]

I guess I'm in a habit of criticising boomerangs even though I don't mind them! and the trains on prater's are great!

 

[Mysterious Sue]

Yep, +1 that Prater's boomerang is brilliant with the new seats.

Those WildWind monstrosities however...

 

[Will]

I've just looked up WildWind. They look intriguingly ridiculous, if too short.
Certainly wouldn't be the worst thing in the strictly 'quantity, not quality' Prater line up.

 

[Mysterious Sue]

I rode the one at Octoberfest last year. It gave me actual whiplash. Gross. Also didn't improve matters that it was completely tipping it down at the time.

 

[Ben]

HURGH they're disgusting why.

 

[Gavin]

I don't know how it happened, but the Wild Wind I tried was fine. Front seat maybe had something to do with it. It was crap, obviously, but no life-changing injuries.

 

[Jake]

The one at Oktoberfest was fab, most I've laughed on a coaster for ages.

So bad they're good.

 

[Tomatron]

Wouldn't surprise me if this was the one from Oktoberfest. It lived at Freizeit-Land Geiselwind near Nuremberg for most of 2015 before being removed at the end of summer for Oktoberfest.

It's awful but great all at once.

Yeah, that might be pretty possible, since I remember them selling it a while ago. I hope it isn't, though, since I already have the cred and I don't have any intention to ever re-ride...

 

[TilenB]

According to the following article, the new coaster is going to be Hoellenblitz from the German Fair circuit. It will be in Vienna from March till August, before returning to Oktoberfest in September, similar as the situation was with OL last season.

[Will]

If that turns out to be true, I will be a very, very happy goon.
LOVE Hollenblitz.

Also, parkerlebnis.de are reporting similar
... and rcdb.

[DelPiero]

Calling it now - Hollenblitz at WW this year.
