Legendia, Poland: General Discussion

Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko (Silesian Amusement Park) seems to have no Thread on here (some what unsurprising considering their biggest claim to fame is having Soquet double looper which was formerly at Lightwater Valley as Soopa Loopa and after that at American Adventure as Twin Looper) which probably deserves one as they are one of the few parks getting something of note next year.

2017 they are getting a new Vekoma coaster that looks like Vekoma's take on an Intamin Blitz coaster. Some stats include:

Length:2,979 ft
Height: 131.3 ft
Inversions: 3
Speed: 59 mph

A nice new addition to a small park, hopefully it has good ride quality and other small parks look to Vekoma for models like this as the price seems cheap (4.36M Euro) compared to other similar ride types.

Here is a link to a recreation:

Looks like a really fun ride, Vekoma seem to be oin the rise again, maybe if this takes off we could see one in the UK somewhere. If People are planning on going to Energylandia in 2018 this park is only an hour away from it so could well be worth a trip!

Here is a image showing what the theming/ station of this ride is going to be like.

Looks nice glad to see they are really giving it some serious effort with the theming as I am sure they could of got away with not adding any. Poland's Theme Parks look to have a bright future.
 
A couple more concepts from Vekoma:

This really looks fantastic, certainly the most exciting coaster project in Europe this year. It will be amazing if all of that theming does appear as well.

:)
 
Vekoma have posted some construction photos to Facebook:

Looking very nice indeed. Great support head chopper through that corkscrew as well!

:)
 
Oh wow, okay, that looks a bit good! Remind me, where is this park!? It really is great to see Vekoma building some exciting looking coasters.

EDIT:

Vekoma have now posted this photo of the drop to their Facebook page:

Looks rather good, Energylandia is on my list so this is as well. Poland Roadtrip time
 
Vekoma have posted a photo of the trains:

A pity that they have the vests, I thought Vekoma may have kept up with the market trend for lap bars only.

:)
 
First of all it would appear that the park have re-branded themselves totally and it is now called Legendia. No idea why they have done that after 60 years but the new name does seem more marketable (and pronounceable).

Anyway, it looks like all of the track for Lech Coaster is now up:

Looking brilliant!

:)
 
Testing of Lech Coaster has now begun and the park have posted this video:



The first half of the layout in particular looks very promising, some great speed!

:)
 
This ride looks absolutely amazing. To think that this is from the same company that built the SLC. Vekoma have improved so much, and I feel they may become one of the top coaster manufacturers in the future. :)
 
It really is looking seriously impressive and will be even better once the theming is complete. The first three elements really seem to be quite something! If only they could have posted a normal POV that didn't cut out to those pointless wheel shots.

:)
 
Yesterday was media day I believe, so some great footage of the coaster has emerged:



Looks very smooth, with great pacing and theming throughout. Best of all there's no annoying wheel shots this time!


The first drop turn looks intense! Looks really fast as well. Just hoping they can change the shade of that water!
 
Looks like it carries more speed in the second half than previous videios had suggested, shame vekoma havn't quite mastered lap bars on this type of coaster as I sure it is something they would be striving to do. Some nice head choppers and close peices of scenery I especially like the look of the inversion through the roof of the station. Definantly agree with with @Alastair about the water colour, probably made to look even worse by the natural colour of the lake!
