Lost Gravity Mack Coaster - Walibi Holland 2016

Looks like a nice puzzle!

^ +1! They indeed are construction "pieces"!

Three teaser images were posted. I think we might be seeing winged trains. Mack Skyrush?? Here's a contest from the park that you can enter to win tickets to the ride's opening. It's in Dutch so if any of you Netherlandians can translate it please do!

The catwalks are indeed wide.

About a year ago Walibi Holland made a joke about their new coaster that it would be a dive coaster named "Clown 2007" (a parody on the new coaster of the Efteling "Baron 1898").


I would laugh pretty hard if this turns out to be a Mack dive coaster! XD

With pleasure!

Basically it's a fun contest to win tickets for the exclusive opening, March 24th 2016. But you have to answer three questions first to test your "mental strength" to see you can handle the ride.
They all start with staring in the middle of your screen when a lot of stuff start spinning and twisting. I'm not sure if there are different questions, but these are the ones I got.

Q1: how many cars started moving?
Q2: which satellite dish is the biggest?
Q3: how many traffic lights didn't switch lights?

It moves really fast and I didn't get the first two right. But the test claims I'm "bizare".

Questions are always the same. I got the first two right by luck (I don't speak Dutch) and then the third one wrong. It let me enter the contest anyway. But I tried it again and got the three right, only the top sentence changes, otherwise it's the exact same page where you enter your email address.

So we now have an inverted top hat also. This ride is very intriguing.

Or... I will call that tophat a "Banana Roll".

Looks good so far

[Paradox]

So it's not an inverted top hat but an outside one with weird banking. I don't even know what this ride is supposed to be at this point lol.

EDIT: PICS BROKEN

[slosprint]

That top hat doesn't look inverted from those angles, looks like airtime at a 45 degree bank or so. Very interesting.

That first drop looks so unnatural to me, can't wait to see this in action.

Any ideas on train type/length for this? Could this be a wild/spinning mouse on steroids? Those elements seem quite extreme for a longer train - although I suppose a 3 car train might be alright.

One interesting drop this ride has.

Am I the only one thinking new train type?

No, Mack is also thinking that as well, as they confirmed it was a new type.

I'm banking on a spinning coaster. The alternating colors and the spinning background on the mental check website seem to point to it.

Not to like kill any speculation here, but do you have proof of MACK saying this?

The coaster will be named "Lost Gravity". Walibi released a short teaser in which the name is revealed:

What is going on with that tophat lol. It's banked like 45 degrees at the top.

I like it

Actually no, I just heard that from someone. I think they asked Mack at IAAPA or something like that.

But I mean, look at the track, catwalks on both sides, sharp drop, and elements... I think it's almost certain we will see a new kind of train.
