^^^ i think it won`t be a big flume like in tripsdrill! Just a short one with an elevator (and i hope a short darkride section in the castle before it ;) ), then the big drop and then a short turn around back to station... maybe they add some nice theming elements during the ride. But what seems to make it necessary to change the theming is the height of the lift and the drop... Its much higher than their first plans, where the flume starts under the lifthill of the coaster. Now with a height of 25 meters is about 7 meter higher than the coaster with 17.5 meter. So i think they decided to take a castle to hide the high elevator and get a good adequate theming that fits to the park.

Hmmm...I don`t get it. Germany`s tallest Waterride ??? Well...probably this thing will be great, but bigger than Atlantica Supersplash at Europapark ? The stats say it will be app. 25 Meters high, while A.S. is about 30 Meters high...and I guess the footprint is bigger, too.

Anyway...GREAT news to have another major attraction there !

^ it´s really just about the type of the ride! there are many higher super splash rides or watercoasters ... It`s just that it really is the highest oldschool log flume in germany ;) It´s like everytime.... the marketing uses every aspect to push the attraction into the peoples mind ;)

I forgot about Atlantica Supersplash! That is definitely taller than the bathtub boobies log flume at Tripsdrill.

Why do I still have a donkey title???

This is great news from a small park.

Wildwasserbahn = Log Flume in this context

This is a stupid debate. Doesn't Blackpool Pleasure Beach still say they have the tallest coaster in Europe!!??

Let it go!

Sure, you are allowed to look at things critically on TPR, but that isn't what you are doing. You are obsessing over a pointless detail that could very well just be a misinterpretation. Please drop it.

I heard that it's not the tallest, it will be the steepest ride...abc rides factures it...with a vertical lift and magnetic brakes in the water...
