Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014

The park posted a first teaser:

Confirmed facts:

- Lift

- 800m/2600ft long

- 33m/108ft high

- 100 km/h/62mph (doubt it, more like 90 km/h)

- 9 moments of airtime

- 4g

- No inversion

Just seeing the facts this could be a contender for the Mega-Lite - but doubt that Mack will do such agressive airtime....

And now the moment we have been waiting for!

It might be cold, but the ride is still going up.

yeah!

Love the track color.

It's exciting to see Mack building more and more unique creations. I can't wait to see the layout of this!

^Apparently, it will be a clone of The Storm at Etnaland (Italy) minus the final inline.

So, essentially, Mack's take on the concept of a megalite. It looks fairly compact and interesting!

I have been told at IAAPA that it will have a completely different layout than Storm. This will have more airtime! Only the height will be the same.

I was wondering where all the info about the ride being a Storm clone was coming from, but your information is like wonderful music to my ears!

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Turn? Someone said turn? Here is one.

This ride already looks amazing...and all there is is a turn!

It's so close to the ground!

One thing I really like with Storm is the use of only two supports for the lift.

It's strange though, as the track doesn't look that much more beefed up than Intamin's square track.

I just discovered on Nigloland's website that this new ride will have a 1,35m height limit, compared to Blue Fire's 1,3m. This new ride might actually have some pretty heavy air time!

New pics of the station. You can also spot the brake run in the background.

The station is looking pretty nice, and so is the rest of the ride. As to the amount of airtime it will provide, I guess we'll just have to wait for the opening.

More pieces in place. The beginning does look like an Intamin megalite, with the first airtime hill crossing the lift.

That can only be a good thing!

Even if this won't ride as good as the megalite's, it will look better. I love how the lift only have 2 big supports for it, I305 style.

^Funny, I was about to post that picture. Very TWISTYYY!

I'm getting more and more excited about this project! That looks amazing!

I think I read Nigoland originally wanted a Mega-Lite, but it was too expensive. Could Mack be plainly ripping off the Mega-Lite?

By the way, that first hill looks like a Stengel dive.

^ The owners of the park loved Piraten, so the ride Will probably be a close copy. The rides cost the same, but there is a lot more upkeeping with the Intamin ride. Since the target audience would not really appreciate the real megalite they went with Mack instead.

Also it's not a stengel dive, just a twisted hill. Watch the photos from Far away and you'll see.

love the track color!!!

Looking good

Although the Intamin Mega-Lites are fantastic, I never understood what market they were catering for.

They are really expensive (cost of coaster and maintenance), too expensive for most small parks and too low capacity for most large parks. I guess Mack took out the high maintenance costs and made a product that is comparable for parks.
