What a beautiful looking coaster!

And it isn't even done yet! :P

Edit: According to RCDB, the Storm's throughput is 900 riders an hour.

This ride looks win! As for the park it seems a bit strange :P It seems to have an abundance of water rides, and is now building two coasters for next year. This, and something else from S&S. I'm guessing it's one of those parks which is transforming from just a waterpark to a theme and waterpark in one.

Oh and that cableway?! What on Earth is it meant to be?! :P

LINDA! :P

I do love MACK's colour range. "You can have blue, silver, slightly darker blue, slightly lighter blue - This one is very popular - navy blue, or royal blue." Blue must be the in thing at the moment :P

What in god's name is that?!

I asked about that cable car earlier. I should imagine the views from it are spectacular, even if it does look like a death trap! :P

I think it can hold a maximum of two people.

Wow - an S&S too? Any idea what? I hope it isn't a basic El Loco :P

As it stands, would really love to get here next year... literally fly out on Ryanair to Sicily or something just for a night or two. Some nice Sicilian wines, and a day here.

That final inversion looks as sexy as Blue Fire's! And we all know what a highlight that is!

That looks gorgeous.

S&S, could we be seeing another fly free?

Its a water park, and for next year they're building a brand new seperate theme park next door. There's 2 coasters confirmed so far, but more expected. The S&S is a mine train coaster.

And here's an image for a haunted attraction:

Both images from CF.

^ Ah yes indeed.

A quick look at the website (http://www.etnaland.eu/en/) shows how there is currently a waterpark as well as the themepark which is being built. The waterpark also currently has a flume ride and a rapids- more typical for a themepark than water park.

On the themepark page, it is very vague- not information is given on the S&S or Mack coaster being made. What confuses me is the picture of a Vekoma sit-down on the page- and not the ones being built. This is very confusing. It does not really make any comments about any flats- except for the picture we can see.

If it looks anything like that, it is surely challenging the themeing of Big Thunder Mountain. It looks incredible, and at 69 feet, it looks to be very fast and enjoyable for a mine train.

Overall, this looks like a very interesting project, for a resort containing a waterpark and a themepark, and surely will be good.

An S&S Minetrain

Interesting. Have they built one before, or just taken on Arrow's design?

Dingerbell · Fri May 18, 2012 10:30 am

According to RCDB, no.

Wow! These three attractions look fantastic! I love the haunted school and the mine train looks equally as fun as the Mack megalite. AND THAT THEMING! LOTS OF LOVELY THEMING!

:P

The Mack coaster is not a Megalite. The Megalite is made by Intamin.

Sorry, Mack's own megalite. Happy now? :P

Sorry, still not happy.

The model is a Mack Mega Coaster.

Sorry, I wasn't stating it was a megalite, just that it's Intamin's megalite rival. I love how everyone else describes it as a megalite and I'm the one that gets picked-on for it! :P

Show me the rest. I will shoot them.

To be fair, the layout of this is mega-lite-y. However, Mack Mega Coasters are family/thrill rides with a height restriction of 1.3m. I doubt Mack would put it in competition with an Intamin Mega Lite.

They should do, they'd probably win.

A ride that's like a Mega Lite but with a much better seat design and a dramatic twist at the end. They might not be the world renown masters of airtime but I'm sure they'd rise to the challenge if required.
