There aren't really any features that would suggest a 4D though.
Yeah, you're right I guess.

In that case I think it's going to be Mack's first inverted coaster.

It wasn't a particularly sarcastic post. It just seemed like speculation, which was exactly what I was doing. ;)
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

According to the Director of the park, it'll open on the 24th March.

Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Much earlier than I expected, I'm guessing there won't be much theming on this.

Totally optimistic comment, and stab in the dark but strange how the font for the LOST is 4 lines, maybe 4 across seating wing trains? Just a really weird font choice imo.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Yeah it is really strange. "Gravity" being upside down might be some sort of link too?

Glad to hear it's opening nice and early too, may just have to make the trek there next year.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

On that piece of theming with the logo, which was originally on snapchat, you can see that it has a blue motor under it, that will more than likely revolve the disc and therefore have 'both sides the right way up', it seems that way anyway.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Looks like we might have an inversion after the mcbr. The airtime hill in the background is also sharper than I expected.
Loves it <3

Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Prepare yourself furie for the incoming "Inversion or not" argument.

I'd say not, it looks to be just over 100*. It also looks like more of a Z-Force/Flashback type turn rather than a barrel roll-half loop.

This ride is still confusing, but looks so good.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

I'm not sure, in this picture it definitely seems to go back under itself like The Swarm's first drop

I don't get what's so wtf about that, it's just a brake run?

The fact that the turn doesn't have any banking seems rather wtf to me, especially since this isn't at the beginning / end of the layout.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

I have a feeling that this is the product of someone's first attempt at a NL2 coaster.
