Yes, you read right. Another Intamin Accelerator Coaster! :-D
Well, atleast i'm allmust sure it's a Intamin Accelerator Coaster that TusenFryd in Norway are going to get next year.
They are going to make the announcement tomorrow at 11,30 AM(local time), in the park.
But i have talked to one of my friends that lives close to the park, i think, and hi are going to the park tomorrow for the announcement, and hi will send me a sms and a picture of the artwork/picture of the new coaster, if they will release that, but i'm preatty sure they will, when they have just announced it.
I can't wait to see it and hear about it.
The construction has started on it, so it's gonna be a large coaster, as i also think it will be. Atleast larger than Kanonen.
But it is just some tree-removing and some markers right now, so nothing special as of yet. There are some pictures of it below:
The two first are of a big sign they are working on. http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/3662/tf023gf.jpg

The construction site. http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/2831/tf053it.jpg
Two of the markers. http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/6769/tf082ky.jpg
I will post the picture and info on it as soon as i get it tomorrow...

| | | Nice pics NICKTHERIDE. Are you going to be following the construction and are you going to the announcement tomorrow as stated on SCREAMSCAPE.
2006 - Launched Coaster - Rumor - (7/5/05) One of our European sources tell us that the invitations were sent out to the announcement for the 2006 attraction which will take place on July 7th. They say that the invitations has a few checked flag graphics on it, which would fit right in with the rumors about adding a Rocket coaster. They say that this will be the park’s biggest investment since the park opened in 1988.
(4/14/05) The park may be planning on adding their next large attraction in 2006 that is rumored to possibly be some kind of small scale launched coaster.

| | If the coaster is indeed named "Ragnarokk", it indicates that it will have a viking theme of some sorts. Ragnarokk meant judgement day for the vikings. But I can't see how that will mix with checkered flags and a racing theme...
I guess we'll see tomorrow.  |

But I think that hi will follow the construction. But I'm not sure on that. And thank you so much for the awesome contruction and general photos of SheiKra, Johnny! They are the best pictures i have seen of a coaster. :-D

| | | I never knew about this park, but it has one of the Vekoma wooden coasters. Looks much better than the ones in Holland and Belgium.
Can't wait to hear about the theme for this next European Rocket. |

I hope they use this as a theme instead of the same old racing theme as every other rocket out there. |
