[2028] New Rollercoaster (Euro-Mir replacement)

It will be interesting to see if the existing towers are kept or if they are demolished and rebuilt. The post seems to hint that they will be rebuilt
It would make sense in terms of removing the existing ride system. From what I understand the existing buildings are not ideal from a fire regulations perspective and have had some structural issues in the past so probably makes sense to get rid of them and start again. Then again they kept the existing globe for Can Can and managed to work around that during the refurb.

I mean, Bobbhahn is in the same park. A truly awful coaster that deserves remodelling with large amounts of explosives. The worst Bobsled I have done, including Intamin attempts and a couple of similar coasters made of plastic dumped in France alongside Macks better attempts.
Conversely, Mir is their best spinner.

Mir is an icon and unique, I love it for that. But it rides janky and I feel like it's had its time.
At any other park I'd be arguing it should stay and get a proper refurb. But as this is Mack and Europa I could absolutely see its replacement being the first of a new generation of family spinning rides! The extreme spinners have a far nicer train design. They could even keep elements of the controlled spin and make this ride their answer to Cosmic Rewind.
Europa knows the parts of the ride that the fans love. The music will return. The towers and probably the large sweeping drop will be incorporated as well.
The future of Mir looks bright, bring on the wrecking ball!
