Just a note, when viewing the blog, if you save the thumbnails to your desktop they will be big versions of those pictures.

Also, in the pictures with the yellow track and blue supports, does anyone know what Eurofighter that is? In the background of those pictures there is clearly a yellow tracked Eurofighter with green supports....

Man that thing is long. However, the second and third speed lifts make the ride look somewhat odd. However, Gerstlauer never goes wrong so it's certain to be another fun family amusement.

That looks like a good ride.

Yupyup, my home park! I posted this at TPR on March 3rd lol. If you look, the ride weaves between the entire park, and even goes into Mindbender's area, this is also Gerstlauers first spinner to use the Tri-Track.

<3 Galaxyland, best ever. My username here was originally going to be Galaxylander, but I decided on Calaway Park even though it sucks, haha!

Another update has been posted on the blog.

I uploaded the large versions here so that you do not have to save them to your computer to view them.

Those last 3 pics are NL right??

I don't think so. Look at the track on the last picture, its a 3 tube track. Otherwise it looks like a very decent ride!

Yes, that IS NL. They can customize it...

Really?! I never knew that. Wouldn't it be awsome, if we could customize it on our computers.

Yeah, they either have a special version, or the NL team does it for them. Not sure, still cool either way.

I'm so happy that my little.. er... hugely massive indoor home park is finally getting some exposure. If you search Galaxyland in Google Images, you get a bunch of results, but they're all Mindbender.. None of them show the parks nice theming, or the other rides. The park is actually gorgeous, there's cool rock-like formations everywhere, and the parks atmosphere just has that 'out of this world' pardon the pun, feeling.

If you didn't read the article, the rides cars are going to be themed to flying saucers

The park is so under recognized and under photographed. And Mindbender.. anybody you can ask who's ridden it will tell you the intensity... it's unforgettable.

*cough* G-Train *cough*

the spine could be supports...

Maybe, but only if their NL has the support-colour changing option.

It could always be 3ds.

They can do whatever they want! If Gerst wants a spine, they'll give it to them! Jeez, it's not that hard for Ole to program some spine in.

Maybe one of the rumored eurofighters. Both Duinrell and a park in Italy where supposed to get a eurofighter this year, which both where apparently canceled. Those would be a clone of Rage, and that track could absolutely fit. I don't know of any other Eurofighters under construction, except the one at Mall of America. Maybe it is a coaster they are building on their plant again like Rage, which is for a 2008 customer?

Hmm, maybe.

In this picture in the background you can also see some cool looking shells for a spinner with claws on it.

I think those are Galaxyland's, there's an image of the shells on the official blog, and they look like that.

Awesome, the trains look great!

I thought they were supposed to resemble a UFO?

Yup...

The RideEntertainment blog has been updated again, this time showing off the construction and design of the spinning cars. Which are indeed supposed to resemble a UFO type thing.

Very nice to see! I'm going to Edmonton this summer, so then I'll make a lot of pictures [:)]

Awesome [:)]

My birthday is August 13th, and we're heading to Galaxyland for it, I hope the new ride is open. If it is, prepare for a huge TR.

Pictures might have to be from a disposable camera, but we'll take like 3 [Cameras]. I'll try to get a POV with my cousins digicamera if I can get permission from the park on Mindbender. It will be duct-taped though if we're allowed, so it will be smooth.

^well it's not a Six Flags park so you have a better chance at getting permission.
