This drop is almost a direct take from the Rye Aeroplane as well.

I noticed that too. I've heard from one of GCI's engineers that they've wanted to do something like that for a long time.

That is an absolute masterpiece.

I love model making, I wish to have a workshop at home one day to make wooden coaster models. I aspire to make something as fully awesome as this.

New official video appeared:



It's mostly in german, but you just need to know, that the model arrived in the park and the EP is so proud of their new attraction which adds a lot to the park.

there are also new pics on their site:











and here's a link the the official site of the coaster:

First supports:





From GCI's Facebook page.

I might go to EP @ Halloween and take some pics

That looks so hot.

lots of new updates here: http://www.epfans.info/

and a picture of the layout:

this looks soooo sexy to me!

Looks like they're expecting a HUGE queue : 0

yea I think it will be longer than Blue Fire's queue...but I think it's cool to walk around the coaster area instead of standing in front of it...

Construction is coming along nicely: Mythos is nearly topped off.











I'll also leave you a picture of Blue Fire, which was as great as usual on this Halloween weekend [:D]

I was there last week too. But I didnt had the chance to take good photos...had to ride Blue Fire 10x haha

That is an awesome first drop and I know it's just off the model but the second hill is probably going to be one of the best on any GCI...

they finally announced the name. The ride will be named after the major deity of Anglo-Saxon and Continental Germanic polytheism. So get ready for: WODAN - Timburcoaster

'Wodan - Timburcoaster'?! I liked 'Mythos' a lot better... Thought that was the name already.

^That was the project name.

Besides, the rumour is that this ride will get polymer wheels instead of steel. Apparently because of noise complaints.

Thats sounds very plausible, because I've spoken to some staff at EP some years ago if they'd ever install a woodie and he answerd no, due to noise retrictions and maintance cost.Aside that, they also have a noise wall on the drop of silverstar.
I wonder how the polymer wheels change the expierience of the ride.

First test runs.

better video



I love the sound of it...it's really quite though.

^That's because they are using rubber wheels instead of the normal steel wheels that you see as to reduce noise pollution. Still sounds really loud, though.

SOOOOOOO Sweet!
The coaster is still really loud, though I do notice the difference.

i hope the ride won't be any less bumpy...

just over 3 weeks and i might be riding wodan. i say might because even though im slimmer than i was last time i went the restaings on this are very small aparently.

That looks pretty dang sweet! I'm pretty jealous of Gazag at this stage.
