The park currently has only one roller coaster, a Soquet family coaster know as Grand Huit, so this will be quiet a considerable upgrade and definitely put this park on the map.

The OTSR is a choice from the park. I believe they said they prefer it because people feel more safe with OTSR rather than with lap bars. To be honest I'd have preferred lap bars.

This looks like quite a fun ride. I'm curious on the first video footage.

Vertika has now opened. Here are the POV and offride shots:

Hmmm... It looks slower than I hoped it would run. Maybe a bit of speed will increase throughout time. :3
