2019: Rulantica

[djtruefitt]

I looked at the Europa website and there doesn’t seem to be any mention of a pool for the hotel, which I guess with a massive fun pool next door it’s not needed.

Is it possible that Krønasår guests might get some sort of after hours access to areas in Rulantica, should the hotel itself not have its own pool / spa facilities, do we think?

 

[EuroSatch]

Surprised it’s a flat rate to be honest. Most places like this in Europe charge on an hourly basis, particularly when there are so many areas on offer, and is a good way to stop it being overcrowded

Small progress update from Thomas Mack on the restaurant Bubba Svens, including work beginning on furnishing the interior.

“It is moving forward in great strides! The interior of our new restaurant "Bubba Svens" has begun. Even the first kitchen elements are installed schin. I am already looking forward to the culinary specialties ”

The slides are being installed!

Slide construction at Rulantica is progressing nicely with slides now erected outside of the building:

Blimey, the one on the right looks a bit narrow!

They'll have to have a strict ban on you using it; otherwise it'd be the equivalent of a poor individual trying to drop a whopping turd.

Why does that black and white slide split in two? Duel loading, or something else I'm not familiar with?

To maximise the chance of something dangerous happening, of course. This is Germany, remember?

Whilst I’d like to agree with Diogo’s theory, as it sounds legit, I think it’s the duelling slides that ProSlide offer. They come together at points so you can see the adjacent slide/rider, before taking off in separate directions again.

 

[Rob]

Indeed, that will be the Dueling PIPEline. Rulantica is getting the following slides from ProSlide:

• Dueling PIPEline™ slides for serpentine excitement
• Two heart-stopping drop slides
• The MAMMOTH®, ProSlide’s® original family raft ride
• The TornadoWAVE® 60 wall ride for zero-gravity excitement
• The CannonBOWL™ 40, the world’s first tubing bowl experience

Seems to be the PIPEline and the drop slides that are going up at the moment.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Ah, so the two slides have a divider between them. Makes sense. Though slightly disappointing.

 

[Stuie]

Is there going to be anything innovative that we’ve not seen before? I’ve not done many waterparks but I’ve been on all of them. I think there’s versions of them all at Siam Park? Maybe not the dual pipe.

A construction update from Coasterfriends:

EDIT:

Thomas Mack has also just shared the following video on Twitter:

Love those colours

 

[Robert.W]

Yes! Was just about to say the same, the colours look fab. Can’t wait to see the surrounding area / landscaping start to come to together ahead of the hotels opening.

Another Rulantica update posted by the park:

That looks like the windows/doors around the entrance that have been installed.

For whisky fans such as myself, I'm delighted to announce that EP have worked with Maker's Mark to produce a special edition bourbon for the park. Very much looking forward to trying it out on my next trip.
