[20XX] Euro Mir 2.0

Michael Mack today in an interview confirmed NewroMir will feature a new layout but the old attraction will not be totally demolished. As with newer rides a fully immersive story world is set to come with it. Within the next 3 years apparently it will begin. Does seem to suggest rumours of a delay are accurate.

What's coming is the overhaul of Euro-Mir. It won't be completely demolished, but there will be a new layout, with a 360-degree approach similar to Voltron. If it were up to me, we would have already tackled that. But my father is still in charge, and he's more cautious about it. My gut feeling, though, tells me we'll start in three years.

I must admit, I don’t really get the love for Euro Mir. People on here seem to rave about it, but I remember it being very rough and not particularly remarkable in terms of layout. For me (admittedly 3 years ago), it was easily the weakest coaster on park (excluding Ba-a-a, as I didn’t ride it). I can sense that’s a very unpopular opinion, but I wholeheartedly stand by it!

What is it that fans of the ride like so much about it, out of curiosity? I’ve heard it referred to as the best steel coaster on park before (pre-Voltron, admittedly), and as that is an opinion I couldn’t disagree more with, I’d be intrigued to know why the consensus on it leans so positive.
 
Mir is such a unique ride, it will be sad when it does get redeveloped, but I completely understand why they are going to. It's an old school coaster, they don't make them like that any more (and I am sure many would say for good reason). I don't love Mir, but there is something I do enjoy about it.

New Eurosat is great and clearly better for the park. But I'd love to ride old Sat again. I reckon the new Mir will be a similar situation.
 
After the rave on the lift (all 3 themes are good which helps) you then get a properly intense and violent ride. Properly old school and rides more like a Schwarzkopf than a Mack. It also has a charm which not many can match as well.

Weirdly my ride this week past even in the very back lacked the gut punch the final helix used to bring.

So not even got the intensity going for it anymore.

Having rode it last week too, I would have to disagree. I found it the most forceful coaster on the park in terms of pure positive forces in my opinion.

It was definitely uncomfortable and would love for it to be modernised, but I would have to say it was definitely intense as a ride!
 
I think a large part of Mir’s popularity is its cult status. The theme tune plays a very large part in it.

There aren’t many ride theme songs that are played at silent discos, in shows and during DJ sets that get such a big reaction.
