Rodel- & Freizeitparadies St. Englmar

Rodel- & Freizeitparadies St. Englmar in Bayern, Germany has announced its first roller coaster:

 

"Da voglwuide Sepp".

 

That's Bayerisch for "wild-as-a-bird Sepp", with Sepp being a common given name in the area for Joseph.

 

 

• stats:
   
  ride type: Zierer family coaster
  total height difference: 27 m
  max height: 9 m
  length: 755 m
  top speed: 60 kph
  cost: 3 million euro

 

Fun fact: the owner of the park used to work for Zierer!

First time I see 2 Lifhill in a row lol.

I like the rest of the layout

It looks incredibly strange with two lift hills.

Good for them - and it's a unique coaster for what it is.

 

But honestly, couldn't they have built the same layout as an apline coaster? I bet the ride experience would be almost the same and they'd save a lot of money. Maybe they got a sweet deal for the deisgner's first coaster.

Looks like they already have an Alpine Slide and Alpine Coaster. Not sure how this is Zierer's First Family Coaster Design Either.

Could that be two launches in a row?

I don't believe there is enough clearance with the Beilim Stators for an LSM Launch/Launches, unless they use the ESC Trains, which it doesn't appear they will use. Who knows though. Edited May 4, 2015 by linearinduction

Looks like they are using 6 cars Tivoli trains on this one. Clearance doesn't look too tight I think.

The InTraSys GmbH Beilim Stators are 220 Millimeters Tall, and the Axles on the Force Coaster Trains won't allow clearance for those like the Elevated Sitting Coaster Trains do.

2.2m does seem a bit too tight for this. What about drive tire launch?

I'm picturing two Drive Tire Lifts, but a Launch would be Cool Too!

This is definitely an interesting layout! I'm curious to see what the finished product ends up looking like...

The first steel bits reveal the ride's colors...

This looks pretty awesome!

Wow that looks so much better than the renderings! Looks like a lot of fun.

Agreed! This may just be the best Force Coaster ZIERER has built.

That's a lot of progress that they've made since the last update, is the lift hill still in two stages like in the renderings?

Trains have arrived. Love the theming on the front car!

love that train. I just screams HAPPY and FUN !

Yesterday, the final track piece was put in place:

Looking back:

 

 

 

 

 

Today, the first chain lift was tested.

Unfortunately the second lift isn't ready yet, so this is as far as Sepp made it:

The layout looks more like an ESC, and with those force Trains closer to the ground, it looks awesome! Can't wait to see a POV!

The ride will open to the public later this month.

^Looks like a good family coaster from the POV, i like how it stays close to the terrain the whole time and keeps its speed all the way to the end
