Re: Lewa World To Build Mack Hyper(ish) coaster?
All I can say is Wow.... this thing looks incredible. That loop is massive and there looks like plenty of airtime. Also the first hill after the turn around looks like a massive Zero-G-Roll.
One of the most exciting coasters for 2015 I reckon.

This looks absolutely insane. The zero g looks like it will be after turn around but the zero g drop theory would be great.

Re: Lewa World To Build Mack Hyper(ish) coaster?
It looks like a pretty good layout to be honest but I can't quite understand why if you was going for a multi-looper/mega coaster combination you wouldn't choose Intamin? Guess is due to cost? Although considering the location of the coaster I don't think that would make much difference?

I think when doing business it's also a lot of the feeling you get from the ones you are doing business with. Mack could have given a much better overall impression compared to the other manufacturers, according to the ones who are buying the ride.
It could also be that the buyer have been to Europa Park on a parkstudie and just ended up liking Blue Fire and wanted something similar in the own project.
Coming from Mack this ride will be crazy expensive, I would guess that it's not that far from B&M money.

Re: Lewa World To Build Mack Hyper(ish) coaster?
Can't see why anyone would go with Intamin over Mack on this at all.
Intamin haven't exactly had the best reliability track record in comparison to Mack, The last mega coaster Intamin built was SkyRush and while apparently an excellent ride it certainly has it's issues.
While Mack built Helix last year, a ride that combines elements from different types of rides quite well and has got rave reviews.
I think Macks restraints will also handle airtime and inversions better than Intamins.
Having said that there is also an Intamin mega coaster being built in Nanchang, China this year so China gets the best of both worlds.

Re: Lewa World To Build Mack Hyper(ish) coaster?
It's probably the latter. The first statement is rather flawed... I run a business and whilst part of what you said about feeling is true - if the cost is right you'll **** go for it, no matter what business you run. Business is not about making friends, it's about making money._koppen said:

Intamin don't have a great track record, though, Lofty. Mack are a great company who are probably providing a better product with better reliability. I suspect if anything Mack costs more.

Height: 200.2 ft
Drop: 190.3 ft
Inversions: 2
Speed: 71.5 mph
Duration: 2:08
G-Force: 4.2
Elements: Chain Lift Hill
Loop
Zero-G Roll
It's a hyper because the height is 200 ft. tall

More vertical construction. Starting to look better and better.
And I spot a massive loop back there too.

If this is a hyper coaster, it looks to me like Mack's version of I305. It has lots of low-to-the-ground overbanks, with a few pops of airtime. I like it!

Some newer pictures.
And to be fair Darren we did get Helix
not quite the same as this but as this is the only one of its kind so far maybe we will see a few more pop up post opening.

Re: Lewa World | Lightning | Mack Hyper/Looper
^Any news on an opening date, even roughly? This place wasn't on the cards this year since I didn't think I'd get time, but it's looking like I may get a few days at the end of August between some bulls**t meetings and the kids coming back to school for a trip somewhere not too far away.
