Lost Gravity Mack Coaster - Walibi Holland 2016

[Dirk_Ermen]

More arriving track has been spotted. Looking at the track pieces it might get a heartline roll as we know on Blue Fire/Helix/The Storm:

^if it is a heartline roll, then i can't really see it being a spinning coaster, although they did test a spinning car on Blue Fire....

Those photos look interesting.

^ It wouldn't be the first spinning coaster with a heartline roll: [http://rcdb.com/6453.htm#p=40626

^interesting! thanks!

I don't even understand what Mack is trying to accomplish with this.

This project I think has me the most intrigued out of the lot. Just seems like such a puzzle!

That's the weird banked top hat that can be seen in other pictures.

Yes probably banked to make it spin more if it really is a spinning coaster.

^ Wow that makes sense!

Even though everyone shoots down the spinning coaster, because the park mentioned that it is "a unique coaster you can't find in the area". It's also told that it's a new coastertype from Mack.
- We've seen the promo video for the new spinning coaster car/train from Mack on Blue Fire.
- Mack has never built spinners that did inversions. So they'll probably advert this as a new type of coaster.
- The only (other) spinning coaster with inversions is standing in Japan. So it cannot be found in the area.

Looking at that alone the chance for a spinner is still there.

^(sorry for going off-topic) i do wish that each post had a "like" button on it, as i would have liked the above post and other ones in other topics as well.

^ Such a great suggestion is IMO welcome!

Another new picture by Walibi:


Nothing new to see though.

That airtime hill...

I still don't understand this coaster, does this have a launch?

no, it's got a lift hill (if you look at the above photo, you can see the chain under the lift hill).

I'm wondering if it's one of those E-Motion thingies but a more intense version instead of a spinner.

I know it has a lift hill, but the coaster looks longer than expected.

^ I wonder why the top of a lift hill is strangely flat. That sounds like the part where you should get prepared for the spinning experience!

This ride has some 'interesting' shaping. I can't wait to see the full layout.

the first drop. I still can't get past the first drop.

What the hell is this thing?
Like, seriously, just look at it. What am I even looking at?

Realism: 2/10. Try harder next time.

yep... I'm still calling a spinner or something completely new we have not seen before. That drop is crazy!

The track is also tilted a little in the turn.
I still think its a spinning coaster.

spinning or emotion. Though Mack did try those spinning seats on Blue Fire and it was a huge success apparently. Smart bet is a spinner.

The drop is like "What if Zonga was a spinner?"
