Energylandia | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster | 2027

I'd love to see the flying coaster make a comeback.

My money's on a wing coaster. Roughness aside, that would make the most sense with the lineup. Could see them going for a big one.

Really hoping it's not a dive.

But how hilarious would it be if they put in a junior invert?
 
It is funny how reception of the concept of a new B&M has plummeted in the last few years… I do still quite like the sound of a big new European B&M, but I do think there are more exciting options now in some cases and the reception of some recent installations is concerning, to say the least.

I’ll admit I’m surprised if Energylandia have gone for a B&M. They didn’t seem like the sort of park to go for one, and it’s quite unusual to see a park building its first B&M in this day and age. Lots of parks going for them currently seem to be parks that already have numerous B&Ms and/or in chains that already have quite a strong existing relationship with B&M (e.g. merged Six Flags/legacy Cedar Fair, SeaWorld).

I’d absolutely love a good old Fury or Orion-style giga for Energylandia (not least because hypers are easily my favourite B&M model), but I’m not sure I see this as the most likely option.

I’m thinking a Wing Coaster or a Dive Coaster is probably most likely (these are by far the most common B&M models to see at the moment), and I would quite like a Dive, to be fair. Particularly if it was a big one like Tormenta; I’d love to see a wide Dive Coaster in Europe!
 
My hunch is that if they're going for B&M, they want a product that the company is actually known for and not whatever United Parks keeps asking of them that others can produce. I think we'd also be hard pressed to see them anchor what's clearly a major expensive expansion with yet ANOTHER family coaster (but this is Energylandia after all so who knows).

A wing coaster wouldn't be ideal for them because that requires more staffing on both sides of the platform, and they already regularly staff a tremendously massive collection of rides. A surf would be really really cool, but I'm having a hard time picturing a Pipeline lookalike next to Abyssus. My money of course is on a Dive.

They can build up to 65 meters here (213 feet, no giga) but the scale right now looks pretty similar to a lot of the mid-size B&M's (Emperor, Dr Diabolical's, Rakshasa). Space is not a constraint at this park, so I wouldn't expect to see some crazy dense design like Tormenta.

I'll just say this; Europe as a whole does lack a big flying coaster, the kind that tries to crush your body with 4+G's. Please please please let this be a flyer, that would get me back there in a heartbeat

Harpy from Xishuangbanna Sunac Land came on sale last year. I'm not saying it's mega likely, but what if Energylandia went and bought that? It only spent five years in use after all so it'd be a decently fresh flying coaster for Energylandia.

Forgive my ignorance, but if the limit is 213 feet, how did they squeeze Hyperion in? Isn't that thing like, 250? Special permits??

We have the locations of some of the footers in these images, maybe that helps to rule out some of the B&M models?
 
They scream Dive. Probably going for the tallest, steepest, largest inversion record in Europe. Wouldn't be too hard to beat given that the tallest European Dive is just 47m. So something like Tormenta wouldn't even be necessary at almost double the height.
 
I'd definitely say based on the current location of where the footers are (a rather small footprint compared to your larger out-and-back style B&Ms) and the fact that we already know this won't be any taller 65 meters, it's almost certain that this will be a dive coaster.
 
I’m just hoping at some point either 1 of 2 things happens, 1 either parks just stop buying from B&M or 2 B&M figures out this garbage issue they have going on…it seems like since covid they made this change, it started with Doctor Diabolicals cliffhanger which probably started production right after covid

I know. Tallest drop could be another easy record to break in Europe, and is well within the speculated 65m limit.

How'd I miss that? So no Giga. But a Hyper is still possible and would be the first Hyper Dive in Europe.

Because Hyperion is located on a different piece of land and we know the zoning because @FOMO Coaster has had access to the land permitting database. It's not speculation, it is a hard number that is simply just not being broken.
 
There's a flying B&M coaster SBNO in China, made before this great manufacture went a little sour. Is there any chance they'd take that? Id have thought 0 until there was a buyer for the batman clone that was left in Kuwaits sun for years. Its my new Aqua coaster.
 
Considering the canceled Vekoma Tilt coaster, a B&M Dive makes the most sense. Let me guess, a beyond vertical drop, 3 immelmanns, a zero-g roll, and a splashdown finale.
 
Yeah, it feels like most things just pop up there 🤣
Looking back on previous construction feeds, they've announced past attractions such as Hyperion were coming on their social media pages (though not always clear on what that attraction will be at the time!).
