KingRCT3 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 They only mention a water ride, not necessarily a Mack Supersplash. Last time when I was there, then mentionned a raft ride with a tube, like an hydro-lift Zamperla. But nothing is settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I know some of the Brit Crew just visited on holiday, looking forward to their picture. Oh wait, it's Divv. We won't see the PTR until next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I love that this park has grown so much since I last visited 10 years ago. This coaster looks 100000x better than the Pinfari inverted coaster that used to be there (that was surprisingly smooth, but nothing special).

_koppen Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Lools like Nigloland is adding new thrill ride/rides for 2016! The announcement will be made tomorrow if I have understood everything correct, and they have been teasing about it the last few days. What is know is the location in the park, that it is two rides, they are thrilling and vertigo is involved. The capacity is 24 people (this is guessing) and the speed is 100km/h. The rumor is that they are adding a pair of S&S towers, but we will see soon! Source Source Source Source Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seating arrangement for most S&S towers is either 4-2-4-2 or 3-3-3-3, so the 24 riders thing makes sense if there are two towers. Probably one Space Shot and one Turbo Drop.

RyanTPM Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Its certainly going to be tall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Its certainly going to be tall! 100 Meters = 328.08399 Feet No. Thank you. That's way to tall for me on a drop tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 This ride is going to be huge. Makes me question the use of the word "petit" in its name lol. I wonder how this will compare to a big Intamin gyrodrop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how this will compare to a big Intamin gyrodrop. If I had to guess I'd guess that it is going to provide a much stronger "freefall" feeling. Similar to the ARM towers.

Rill'o'beily Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Makes me question the use of the word "petit" in its name lol Because that one refers to the small zierer tower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If I had to guess I'd guess that it is going to provide a much stronger "freefall" feeling. Similar to the ARM towers. I originally thought the same thing, but apparently the Funtime towers are actually stinky poo-poo, thanks to a hold at the top, brakes that start pretty far up the tower, and the bulky Gerstlauer shoulder harnesses. EDIT: Here's an example of the one that's at Wien Prater (is it still there, anyone?). There's an earlier example floating around the funfair circuit, it drops and stops the same way but doesn't have the rotating seats. EDIT AGAIN: Am I crazy, or are there two towers named "Mega King Tower"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Being held at the top for so long makes it more intense IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I have been on the one of these at winter wonderland, and they are one of the best drop towers I have been on. The drop is MEGA intense and they now have new harnesses, like the new Intamin ones used on Lex Luther, which give a very exposed feeling. I think this will be a great addition to the park if it is as good as the one at Winter Wonderland. Seriously, this is better than Intamin drop towers like AtmosFear, which have little force to them. These rides are Heart-attack-inducing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 All right, I (terrifyingly) stand corrected. Good to hear! It must have been the early examples that weren't so good.

KingRCT3 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 All right, I (terrifyingly) stand corrected. Good to hear! It must have been the early examples that weren't so good. I rode the Skyfall, which was the very first Funtime freefall, and that wasn't bad at all, I'd say on par with an Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRCT3 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) It's looking great, isn't it? Source I still can't get my head around how it's taller than any other gyro drop towers, especially KI's and KD's. To me, those Intamin still look taller, but in fact, aren't.
