"Worlds First" ride - Fantasiana (Austria)

[Martyn B]

Many people may know Fantasiana as Erlebnispark Strasswalchen (park name was changed last year). It is home to that Pax Wild Train coaster:

Anyway, they have added some teaser picture to their Facebook page for this new ride:

"World first planned! We do not want to reveal too much, but one thing is certain: Only the bravest of you will take a ride with this attraction!" (through Google translate).

Maybe it's powered by magical fairy dust?

It looks somewhat like their interpretation of Tower of Terror. I'll keep my eye on this one

A new pic from their FB page:

And som addition info: 10 people per ride, 1.2m restriction, and made by a Swiss manufacturer.

ABC?

^ABC Rides?

 

[Lofty]

Yeah, my bet is on ABC too. I'd even go as far as betting that they're getting a more technological version of the Extremis style rides.

Update:

 

[rollermonkey]

Are they misaligning the cinderblocks on purpose so it 'looks' more like a castle?

It's confirmed to be an ABC Rides Freefall Tower via ABC website.

^So, what will the world's first bit be? I wonder if they're as bad as marketing as AT!

How interesting... Real bricks!

Random how the park has suddenly added this quite heavily themed ride, when before it was just kind of a straight out of the catalogue and plonk them down style park?

It's funny how recently there's been this like, surge in trend for heavily themed rides. I likes it ^.^

And it's getting bigger!
