Piraten has a lot of airtime. The first and second airtime hill is a little bit, but the small hills are heavy, specially in the last row. In this moment, when you loose the contact with the seat, the train change the direction.

The short trains are necessary for the compact track. A long train is too clumsy for this layout.

@ Robb: Thanks for your edit :)

While the ride looks amazing and I really want to ride the theming makes no sense to me what so ever. There are some rides that are better left un themed and in my opinion this is one of those rides.

Intamin Mega-Lite... could be considered the Intamin answer to... the Vekoma SLC series... eheheheheh - ahahahah!!! :lmao: Ok, I'm joking but... an Intamin advertisement on latest Park World issue claims 4 Mega-Lite coasters already sold... so... this means that 2 more units are in the way for 2009 season!!! I will not be surprised if one of these units will appear at Mirabilandia, Italy, where Sierra Tonante wooden coaster originally was...!!! :b Can I bet on this??? :P

I LOVE these Mega Lites! :lover: We definitely need one here in Wisconsin.


However, I do agree that I personally don't really like the look of Piraten. I think Kawasemi being set out over the water looks really awesome.

I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!

I really can't understand those who don't like the colours. The name is Piraten (The Pirate), so the colours can't be luminous green and red. Personally I think that they're are very "pirate-ish" and WOW they fit with the rest of the theming :omg:

From what I can seen and read here and from what I've heard on the news this coaster should be fantastic...

I'm so much going out there here in May..

Why do I still have a donkey title???

Thanks for the pics, Olli. The coaster looks great.

Hopefully, the 4th will end up somewhere in the southeast US. Heck, I would rather have one of these than a rumored B&M hyper for BGA. I know it won't happen, but I can always hope. ;)

In one of the pictures it shows some pretty fun 'bunny hops'! Air time heaven! Anyone know how much zero-G time the coaster has?
Manta is the best!
