Paultons Park: General Discussion

[Enter Valhalla]

It will live on in Helix at Liseberg - for a good coaster its queue is diabolical

And also very cold.

Are we sure this is going to be a coaster and not a water ride?

Inverted log flume confirmed. The long running TS joke finally coming true.

Per this post on CoasterForce, a memo sent out to staff reveals a few more details of what to expect in the Viking area...

2026

• New coaster with a 1.2m height restriction
• 'UK first' second ride

2027

• New ride replacing the Go Karts

I'm not surprised this is at least a 2 phase project. Exciting few years ahead!

Edit: The following coaster models come to mind...

• Most likely: New gen Vekoma, likely with a launch akin to Formula or Abyssus
• Less likely: Intamin Hot Racer - not sure Paultons would want the 1 across seating
• Least likely: GCI Wooden coaster with inversion - a less tried and tested model

I'm not sure there are other inverting 1.2m options, other than something strange like Mandrill Mayhem? ... or dare I say RMC?!
(The new Family LSM Intamin is only 1.0m )

I would be 100% on board with a new gen Vekoma. Wouldn't mind a Space Warp if they really want to push the Family thrill definition
