Dutch Wonderland 2017 - Merlin's Mayhem S&S Family Invert

This is such a cool looking coaster! Sexy trains, and the support work is complex and gorgeous <3

^ Yeah, kiddies can be decent, too! Let's say no to "stereotypical" thoughts on coaster concepts!

Track is done!

That genuinely looks like a fun ride! Love how the track twists and turns.

Does anyone know if these types of coasters have a height limit? This is the only reason I would make the drive to this park.

^ No, i don't think so. They are family coasters after all!

^^ You've got an awesome reason! Family coasters actually give unexpected moments, I (personally) know!!!

Train is finally on the track. Still no first test run yet.

I love how minimalist the trains look.

I'm just gonna call this a 2018 ride by now.

I go by this park daily and it hasn't done a single test run, plus I think it would be dumb to open it up so late in the season. 2018 is my guess at this point.

Still no test run but the dummies are in place.

Looking at this ride makes me happy.

I think the restraints are perfect for a family coaster.

Having ridden the one at Movie Park Germany the bucket seats make the restarints feel fine. In any case they're there to stop children from getting out the ride as opposed to restraining you from ejector airtime.

Just drove past the park, saw it testing with my own eyes. Looks cool. Not sure why they're testing now as I think it's unlikely we see this open for Christmas. Guess they've got to start sometime.

I'm kinda surprised they've been late with so many projects recently. Must be a Sansei effect...

we finally have a POV:



It is due to finally open tomorrow.

I really like the way it interacts with the chairlift ride! Looks nice for a small coaster.

^ Regarding the chairlift... reminds me of the Iowa's Monster case, too!
