Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaster

Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Loads of airtime? Have you rode White Lightning?! :lol:
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

What you chattin about? WL is full of air time!
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Really!? I thought it had one or two moment of excessively mild floater, unless you were on the back for the first drop.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Witch.

It had the Th13teen effect, you can feel that it wants to do something, but just doesn't hit the mark.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

I wouldn't say WL had buckets of air, but it certainly had at least 6 moments

I've not had the pleasure of riding White Lightning at Fun Spot. But as it's a GCI woodie you know it's going to be airtime heaven. :--D

This is the type of coaster an English park should have, but they are too scared to build one which is a great shame as they are missing out big time.

I'd say GCI's are more famed for fast/twisty layouts, rather than airtime heaven.

And I'm going by what other people say, rather than my own experience.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Yeah, I don't recall too much airtime when I rode WL in November last year. I do remover it being great fun and surprising for such a "small" coaster.

I thought WL had some good airtime, not crazy hold-onto-your-hats airtime, but it's great fun.

I'm not familiar with the layout of it and such, but it looks like Vleermius is still all there? I've lost track: Has it actually been confirmed to be leaving or just wildly assumed?
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

^It was on a ride sale site. No confirmation by the park, but they're clearly trying to sell it.

A while back (like a year ago) I'm pretty certain Plopsa confirmed that it would be moved to one of the smaller parks, but that has obviously changed now.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

I'm going to be intrigued to see if this has that bad 'jolt' on the turnaround that White Lightning has... it seemed so random for what was a rather smooth woodie.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Don't suppose anyone has seen or heard anymore regarding an opening date? Last I heard was just "July"....

I was under the impression of July 1st? Though I can't seem to track down the original source.
