Hansa-Park: general discussion

[Rob]

What the heck is that!? This is going to be one ugly coaster when it opens.

Another look at he Karnan marquee, but first, more concrete being delivered:

Meanwhile:

Airgates in place:

I don't know how on earth they are going to try and make this look good. I fully expect the support structure to fall down on the first test run.

 

[Dar]

Maybe they saw what they had to do around The Smiler's toilet block, got cocky and now think they can build supports around invisible buildings too?

 

[Rob]

Or maybe they are going to construct a massive building underneath the support structure?

 

[Benzin]

They MUST be planning on putting something underneath that, otherwise why would it even exist?

Wins the award for strangest looking ride for 2015...

 

[Sammy]

They've actually just relocated the Plaza that was meant to be under the Smiler... Then took it to the next level and added as much head room as physically possible!

I can't remember if this has been posted but just saw this on TRP (little late I know)

 

[Lordy]

I guess they mean 110ft tall cobra roll etc?

And that support structure looks like it could be some strange theming...?

I've heard it's a butterfly element whatever that is.

This image has just been posted on the Hapa Forum Facebook page, finally revealing the layout of Karnan. (Also currently known as Detroit - The Ride or The National Grid Experience!)

It's a fairly blury image, but you can get the rough idea of the height differences and curves etc! Looks like it could be very good!

 

[Rob]

Progress on the hideous support structure/electricity pylon:

Also a clearer version of the above layout:

 

[Lordy]

Who cares about the tower, the rest of is this going to be fugly!

 

[GeorgeT]

So I say : Who cares about the fugliness if this could be an absolutely brilliant ride experience ?

I am extremely looking forward to riding that

 

[AstroDan]

Not sure.

Gerstlauer are very mixed.

 

[GeorgeT]

Oh yeah, that`s true I have to admit that.

Just wanted to point out that the ride experience "could" make up for the looks !

 

[Rob]

Time for another photo update from the Karnan minisite:

Things seem to be progressing much better now that the weather has improved.

 

[Rob]

Another photo that has been posted to TPR:

 

[AstroDan]

I totally read your post as:

"More photos of the Karnan mistake" rather than "mini-site"

Is that Helix in disguise!?
