I'm just happy to see them building SOMETHING! Whatever it actually is?!?!

Holy crap those pics has me exited!

Whatever it turns out to be, it will be the big family attraction Mirabilandia has been missing since taking out Sierra Tonante.

[KookyI wrote the book about donkeys!]

The rumors in a german coaster page said that it will indeed be like Pilgrims Plunge in the beginning... A huge elevator and the 45 degree steep drop, and with a little water contact, but not that it will be stopped by it... just a short contact maybe to brake it down like on Krake from Heidepark! Because the rumor also mentionend that after the first drop and a little water contact a short coaster part will follow, with some curves and the final splash down into the water! Hope that it will be like this like said before... I'm looking forward to it, whatever will come!

But what i have to mention is that i never read on a german page it will be aquatrax, everytime i read about it, it was mentioned that it will be more like pilgrims plunge but with a small coaster part. I think this is why here in the forum the aquatrax rumor started to rise. Here is one of the best sources, everything they have written ( in german) some months ago, was right till now, maybe even the name "the Edge": http://coastersandmore.de/rides/achterbahnneuheiten2012/achterbahnneuheiten2012.shtml

^Ah, okay. Thank you! That sounds pretty cool, and very unique in a market of water coasters where Mack is the only real competitor right now. I'm interested in the rest of the layout!

http://www.theparks.it/mirabilandia-p2/notizie/2011/12/le-prime-foto-di-divertical-la-novita-2012-n1111/ Divertical has gone vertical, Orange supports and blue track!

Oh and in the one pic it may be sun-glare but whats up with the white looking track on I-speed.

^Posted on the last page...

Also, it's definitely not a sun glare, it's perfect track-segment length. Not sure why it's white though.

Florida Gator fans would love this coaster.

It might just be me, but it seems like this possibly could be a mini-version of Pilgrim's Plunge. I'm not sure why, but those supports seem like they wouldn't be on a ride as big as Pilgrim's Plunge. I'm probably wrong though.

[sammmmmyI wrote the book about donkeys!]

Wait, is it just me or does it look like it starts to curve at the bottom of the drop?

Pilgrim's Plunge has the same supports.
