It will cross with Blue Fire and Atlantica Supersplash which are the two closest big rides.

Some pics of the terrain:







As you can see the space is ridiculously small for a 35m tall GCI woodie. That's why the rumors say that the coaster will cross over the motorway that you can see in the first picture for the extension of the Icelandic zone. This is a realistic option as the terrain that is on the other side of the motorway belongs to Europa Park.

[hyyyper]

Pff, GCI could fit a coaster twice the size in that. And it's going to use some of the area of both blue fire and the supersplash. Piece of cake.

Just waiting on a layout...

A dive into that small valley on the other side of the motorway would be damn sweet.Anyways,great that EP finally gets a Woodie besides the fact that its a GCI!
