Walibi Holland | Lost Gravity | Mack Rides mega coaster

Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Looks like we could possibly have a name! Taken from the walibi snapchat

 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

I can make out Gravity SC. I'm 99% sure that SC means Spinning Coaster.

Gravity is an interesting name for this type of ride.

It says Lost Gravity (with gravity being upside-down), which is supposedly the name for the coaster.

Lost Gravity makes a lot of sense if the coaster is full of airtime and inversions. HOPING.

I'm resigning myself to this being a spinner and if i'm wrong then I'll be ecstatically happy.
Too many things are pointing to it being a large spinner, especially the interview with the Mack CEO @ IAAPA referencing 3 prototypes for 2016 and this not being one of those.

Whatever it is I'll be heading there next year.

Park has confirmed on Twitter that it's called Lost Gravity.

Damn and here i was hoping it was called Gravity Lost (which sounds better to me) and that sign would rotate round and round.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Lost Gravity is a horrific name.

Is it supposed to refer to airtime cause that's just messed up.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Apparently this is the current state of construction
Still none the wiser really

Ah it's Tobi again! What a legend.

I love how we still don't have a clue as to what they're doing.

Them airtime hills look intense, I really don't have a clue what this will be though.

Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

First drop, plus 3 elements before the MCBR is quite long in terms of single car spinners.... And the lift flattens out for a bit before the drop, that surely points to a longish train?

Nothing about this points to your usual Mack spinner, so I'm keeping fingers crossed.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

If this is a spinner, I'll cry.

Edit:

It's looking more plausible to be a spinner...

Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

So far, the layout shows no inversions, but a sharp drop and an interesting horseshoe thing.....which remind me of elements on Sonic Spinball.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Those airtime hills on a spinning coaster would be pretty insane.

I hope it's not a spinning coaster really, but I wouldn't grumble if that's what this ended up being.
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

I'm guessing it'll be a bit like Cobra's Curse, in which the spinning only unlocks after a certain point. Well, if it is a spinner.

Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Nothing about the layout screams "Mack spinner" to me. Plus the double catwalk on the lift. Plus RCDB still has it as a custom Mack Mega Coaster ;)
 
Re: Walibi Holland | Unknown | Mack (unknown)

Perhaps Mack are entering the world of 4D coasters with this?
Might as well throw that out there, why not :p.
