I thought this coaster deserved its own topic because for a family coaster it looks quite unique with elements like a spike and switch track, the park are also redoing their main entrance.

Okay... ...I kind of love them in a weird early 90s fast food beverage cup kind of way.

My understanding is the roller coaster is an SBF figure-8 spinner Yes. You were correct back when you posted that in April. The three attractions already in place are the only ones not manufactured by Zamperla, which seems to be having trouble getting them to the park, since the company...

Love these little multi-direction, reuse-the-same-track kind of concepts!

Gerstlauer yet again showing how weird their footer connections are 😅 having to adjust the supports with those wooden wedges before removing them to to cast the concrete just doesn't make sense

Same.

They're just a really innovative way to get more bang for your buck. They're really really clever ways to elongate and add a dynamic experience to the coaster. Cannot wait to see this form of switches appear on much bigger coasters - which inevitably will happen.
 
Looks to be a really interesting project. I know that Drayton in the UK has a 2024 family thrill coaster in the works, something like this could work really well there.

I am happy for the park to have a new coaster. The whole area just doesn't add up, the colors and the new wood just look horrible. I really hope the area will look better with some plants and time leaving its traces on in.

The eyes on the side suggest this rollercoaster train is naturally a train that is preyed upon. Unlike say Thomas the Tank Engine who's eyes are on the front of his head and is therefore more likely a predator train. This opens up some worrying questions. 🤔

All I’m seeing is that Franz-Xaver needs to go see a dentist.

What a cool little coaster, it does so much in such a small footprint. But I dread to think what the throughput is for it.

It runs a 20 passenger train and is in the same park that happily runs Freischütz on one 12 passenger train, it'll be fine.

The coaster did indeed open last week and while construction isn't finished (some areas are still being paved, the second launch is a concrete building and will be themed in 2024), it's pretty much a go. Some photos as per Coasterfriends;
