Gardaland's new coaster - 2008

http://www.rcdb.com/m/id3689.htm

They're building a new coaster in Gardaland! I'm very glad, cuz this could mean, that it's going to be something really cool, or it's just another kiddie ride. But i doubt that, since it's 1000m long. There aren't any facts, except for the lenght, the opening year, and the facts that it will have 3 lifts and no inversions. I'm really confused about the 3 lifts, since I don't remember any other coaster that has so many lifts.

What do you guys think?

I would guess either a mine train or spinning mouse coaster.

Pretty long for a spinnig wild mouse, but a spinner would be one of my favourite options, sinc it cant be something bigger, becouse of the 3 lifts.
Oh, forgat to mention: the last time I was there, the signs showed picturews of ice, so i guess, it's going to be ice-themed.

It's a Vekoma mine train...

Are you sure? Are Vekoma mine trains good?

Yes,I'm sure...they have a contract with them and it's written on the offcial site....
Knowing Gardaland it will be very accurate and very well themed but not incredibly exciting![;)]

It surely will be well themed, but don't say that rides at Gardaland arent exciting! Its exciting, when you slowly climb the lift of BT or MM and know, that certain headache is inavoidable...

Don't get me wrong...I love Gardaland and its attractions...MM is still a short but great emotion,BT is intense,SEQUOIA so funny...but I visited many american parks and they really know how to make us scream[:)]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It surely is a good thing, that you have Mirabilandia in Italy. Katun, Columbia and Discovery surely made me scream! [:)]

Well,now it's official...the new coaster will be
a VEKOMA custom MK-900.
I visited the park...first pieces arrived AND I also discovered that Gardaland cannot build anything higher than 40m due to the surrounding landscape (Garda lake).
The only exception is for Flying Island (50m)because it moves.

Thats pretty cool looking. Will them be adding any theming to it?

well i think i found something http://www.gardalandtamtam.com/Attrazio ... azione=150 my guess is that this coaster is gonna be themed like this.

it'll have an ice-age theme (with mammoths as well ;))

Yes, they?????????re. Most Mine trains like Colorado Adventure (Phantasialand,Germany) makes a lot of fun. But the Calamity Mine was boring

damn, what are you guys slow on updates.
The ride is finished on trackwork, they are starting on theming now.



















Pieces of theming:

Ah yes another Micheal Jackson Adventure....

Wow, pretty twisted! I can't wait till it's theming is finished! As far as I know Gardaland, the theming will be awesome!
And I also hope there's going to be airtime!

Certainly the theming will be awesome, but I wouldn't expect any airtime on the track or it would become too intense for families! (or simply for Gardaland's target)

And there are more new pictures:










Those mountains arn't exactly icywhite yet

Great update....I'm going to Gardaland next Saturday for Winter Magic...if possible I'll take many pics!

It looks simillar to clamity mine.

I think it is the same lay out as Calamity Mine. Looks pretty good. I'm a big fan of the Vekoma mine trains!

It's not exactly the same since it has an extra lifthill, I think the layout looks something like this:
