"Rage" Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter, Adventure Island

[GolfieI Smell Funny]

Yet another Euro Fighter... in EUROPE!

Why won't they make one in the USA? Maybe they could call it an "Amera-Fighter" or something But seriously, I'd love to get a chance to ride one, but a trip to Europe doesn't look like something that's coming very soon.

Well you might get one in 2007!!, It's highly likely that Dollywood will be getting one next year

Bleezy Bobs thingy is that colourfull building between the Log Flume and the Dingy slide, quite a large building, although the entrance is kind of hard to spot, its right by the Chairswings(GIANT TURTLE).-Martyn

Ohhhhhhh - the dark ride! Yes, we went on that immediately after riding Green Machine.

It was fun, altho I was sort-of half expecting a bit of a coaster ride inside there, since we had to walk upstairs (and then downstairs)to get to the loading station, and then it climbed uphill inside the ride itself...

Dark rides and stuff indoors with black light is great, if it's done well. And BBs was pretty good, I must say.

Didn't get the "onride photo", tho. Too dorky-looking, we were, heh heh. If I knew it was being taken with that GUST OF AIR I would have prepared for it better, lol.

And yeah, I agree about what ride ops tell you, and what then actually happens. But the person was friendly in giving me some kind of response, so I appreciated that, even if the information might not be too accurate, etc.

Well I contacted Gerstlauer just to ask them if this is all true about the new coaster, I also asked it if was to be a custom design, and they did reply, didn't give away much though:

Dear Martin,

Through Gerstlauer I received your e-mail (see below). I'm responsible for sales in the UK and it's a pleasure to read that you're so enthusiastic. I can confirm that Adventure Island will get a Eurofighter roller coaster for the 2007 season, however I cannot reveal anything on the lay-out. We always leave the initiative with the client. He's paying for the roller coaster and is building up a marketing campaign around the new roller coaster. If you pay a visit to the Gerstlauer web site http://www.gerstlauer-rides.de/ every two weeks, you'll be informed on what is going on.

Kind regards,

ARC bv

I highly recommend you take his address, phone number and email address from that post or else he might get pretty angry if he gets hundreds of emails, letters and phone calls from people asking about the company and rides.

^That address can also be found on Gerstlauers website so it shouldnt be any problems.

^ Yes thats Gerstlauers address and phone numbers, you honestly thought he'd give me his personal address and phone number, geez, I only asked about a roller coaster.

[aflackCan I park my donkey here?]

I think it said in First Drop that it would be a standard Euroflighter design so i reckon it will be like Typhoon!

A lot of people reckon that it will most probably be this model:
