^ I would personally like to see 2-forward and 2-backward circuits at least to enjoy the ride. It almost looks like a "battering ram" ride just with an inversion.

I'll be in the park the 29th and 30th of July to try this one and to have my first ride on Katun!
I'll let you know how is it... the Katapult!

Aren't there a few of these traveling around the Europe fair circuits?

^ Relocated...I believe there were only 5 of these ever built, and this is the last one that's still around.

Nice colours and a very compact ride, how many G's does this pull..?

It definitely gets 10/10 for originality (of course, who do you think made it?) but it could've done with a more varied "backwards and forward" inverting program.

this ride is pretty old.
In 2004 it was located outside the parc waiting for a location. Now it has been repainted and moved insede the park.
I don't think that this ride can pull too many Gs. It's pretty slow.

Wow that ride looks lame. You get like 2 inversions and that's it, the ride is over

That looks like a really godawful ripoff combination of Bling (forgot the actual ride name) and Afterburner.
