Attraction Source Forum

RCDB are reporting that this attraction will be called "Ring Racer".

The opening date says 6/11/2009. However they could be using the american MM/DD/YY format

So it either opens one month before the German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, or in November.

Well Rcdb are an american website, aren't they?

So i'd be expecting it to open for the nurburgring grand prix. It'll surely bring in the punters for them

this is just another great step for motorsport, and formula 1 is becoming a hugely popular sport now.

I can't wait to see this thing in action, but you won't find me riding it anytime soon. Rita is fast enough for me, thank you.

`jings`

thats going to put some hair on your bahookie!

what a launch speed.

I suppose on the upside its not as fast as Dodonpa in accelleration... actually it might be around the same but i cant be arsed to work it out mathematically I don't think it is though!

Dodonpa gets to 106mph in 1.8secs this will get to 134.8mph in 2.5 I think it will hit the 106 in the same time if not a little faster.

Myself and Ste will hopefully be riding this on our Germany trip next year we have added it to our itinerary as it's only an hour or so from Phantasialand.

I just looked at the picture on the first page and that looks like one helluva ride.

will defonatly be going on this next summer, or autumn if its november...
it will do loads for the car/f1 industry.

Painfull though

I don't really think it'll do 'loads' for the car/F1 industry. There will be something about it when F1 returns to the Nurburgring next year, but that'll be it. Won't really do much for the coaster industry, nor will it get much custom on non-major events.

Hmm i really should of taken some pictures shouldnt i lol i was there a few weeks back for the DTM, wasnt much sign of a coaster but there was the basis, booking my tickets for the German GP next year soon, and it anyone does like F1 and wanyts to go, the campsite ther is nuts lol last time i stayes there in 04 i didnt sleep all nyt, mucsi on, on massive speakers, then at 4 am it went off, tehn abou 6 someone hooked up 10 of these huge speakers they ahd and put the noise of an F1 car on to wake everyone up

The coaster looks like it's gonna be class, i can't wait to go on it when it's built.

More pictures of the cars have been released...

clicky!

I really don't know what to think of this. It seems to be odd with X-Car cars launching at that speed. It's just by what I think all I think it will be is a launch and then back to the station? I really don't know

Theres the launch, some brakes to slow the train to 60mph, then curves back to the station

I can't remember from where I heard this, but I believe this project is now several months behind schedule.

Not really. It may be fast, but the physical construction is fairly straight forward, I would have thought? It doesn't go up high, nor do I believe there is a lot of landscaping to do. Still, it will be amazing to see the launch!

I've just seen this video which is apparently what the coaster is going to be like. It fits in with what is already known so I'm guessing that it's genuine.
