Legendia, Poland: General Discussion

I'm not sure you could have just lap bars on this coaster. The quick direction changes and those snappy rolls would have riders' torsos flopping about too much.

Anyway, that looks properly intense throughout. If a Poland 2018 trip is happening, I'm in!
 
Oh my. What a breathtakingly stunning coaster, hats off to Vekoma! It seems to ride more like an Intamin!

:)
 
That looks top notch, and makes me hope that Vekoma's design for that hypercoaster project that went Intamin's way will reappear somewhere else. Other parks take note. :)
 
Bump! Legendia are currently in the midst of building their 2020 attraction, a rapids ride from Hafema. Here is an overview of the construction site from earlier last month:



And some newer construction photos from Skyscraper City:

Doesn't look to be the most imaginative rapids ride in the world, but I'll always welcome a new rapids!
 
Visited last weekend and it’s a nice little park. Managed plenty of rides on a pretty deserted Lech coaster. A few flat rides were in the process of being dismantled, which I have now learned are to leave the park. There is somewhat of a ride graveyard behind the Dream Hunters Society coaster.
 
I suspect the park are in the process of removing their fairground style attractions and are focusing on heavily themed experiences if Lech and the new dark ride are anything to go by; these rapids certainly indicate this further thus far.
 
Wasn't Lech Coaster 4m Euros or something ridiculous like that? Just shows what Blackpool could have done with the ICON cash. Could have had a new model Vekoma coaster and a brand new modern flat like a Gyro Swing. Probably would have had a bit left over to spruce up an older ride or two as well.

Wildfire at Kolmarden was also about £8 million so a fraction of icons cost too. As some have said with lech though the cost of labour in Poland is about 1/4th of the UK so I don't know how much of these costs factor into costs of these ride systems

RCDB has only recently started to cite Lech's cost as €12,000,000.
 
I'd also wager that Lech may have been less due to it being a prototype as well; don't a lot of coaster companies tend to reduce rates for the first installation in order to get the model out there and then increase prices as popularity increases?
 
Legendia summary...

- Lech is good. Absolutely loved it and there should be more of these out there. Weirdly enough I'd compare it to Maverick at Cedar Point with the airtime and transitions. The vest restraints are fairly inoffensive but I don't think they're needed.

That's it really, didn't go on any other rides as I was only there for a few hours and just wanted to whore Lech Coaster and drink Lech Beer.

Very nice park though from what I saw, really chilled out and a nice setting on the lake.

Thanks @IDB for the bar recommendations in Katowice, visited a couple of those before finding a spot to watch the football.
 
Glad to be of some service! I pretty much spent all my time riding Lech before leaving for a go on the ski lift in the park next door.
