Is this Europe's next elite coaster?

Hi and welcome back! Similar to my last design (Amarelo) Spain isn't the themepark country you might think it is. It has a few good parks, but most of them are near Madrid and Barcelona. There's a severe lack of rollercoasters in Northern Spain and that's where this design is located, specifically in the Basque region of Spain near Bilbao. Kobrea means copper in Basque, which is the regional dialect/language the people speak there.

This Stryker coaster is obviously inspired by Europa Park's Voltron, but I think that's okay. Its first element is extremely good and I wanted to recreate it the best I could. There wasn't a way to make the launch go beyond vertical, but this is close enough. After that first element the inversion come at you at a rapid pace, just like with any other Stryker or Big Dipper coaster. It's a model that's intense, inversion heavy and airtime focused.

I had a very fun week building and designing this one. As always I took care of the scenery around it as well and I really took the time to create a realistic queueing system. We've got FOUR separate entrances: regular queue, single rider, fast lane and disability. All queues (except the disability lane) go through their own double sided locker area. When exiting the ride you just go back to your locker and find one of two exits where you will also come across a photo booth.

Lastly we have a large shop/restaurant with a small patio. At the back of this building I've also built a small break area for my hard working staff. Gotta think about them as well!

As you can see I've really put a lot of effort into this one and I hope you can see that in the end result. Enjoy a ride on Kobrea!

Bem-vindo à primeira montanha russa de madeira em Portugal!

Not many people realize this, but Portugal severely lacks any amusements parks and therefore doesn't have a lot of rollercoasters. What if there would open up a new park there and with it the first wooden rollercoaster in all of Portugal! Since the owner of this new park probably doesn't have a lot of money to spend they decided to let the Gravity Group build a small sized woodie for them. One requirement though: It had to feature an inversion! The name Amarelo (yellow in Portuguese) comes from the fact that the coaster has been built with Yellow Pine hardwood from Brazil.

Enjoy the ride! Obrigado!

Hopelijk kunnen we binnenkort weer genieten van de volledige ervaring! Is er nog nieuws eigenlijk wat betreft de reparaties van de titan track?

Progress has been made since yesterday

I know the queue area has way too many trees, I'll tone that down, but what do you think of this project so far? I really like the fast lane queue/entry.

Fear the bloodthirst of the notorious vampire! 🦇

Earlier this year I went to Chessington World of Adventure and one of their coasters there is Vampire. I fell in love with this ride and I really wanted to pay homage to it. This is that design. It's pretty on the nose, but I still wanted to give it my personal taste. I really love the way the gift shop turned out, right next to the extended Haunted House (notice the show building behind it?) I also gave the area working dual sided lockers, a fast lane entrance, a small library pre-show, a photo pick-up point and many more details. Just take a look at the gift shop alone and you'll find tons of small details.

While the coaster may not be my best and most thrilling design, It's very much designed for families, I'm certain that the scenery around it is my best work so far. I'm really pleased with all the little details I added to make everything a little bit more realistic. Also notice the Arrow style supports I gave the coaster. The fat poles and the overly done lift hill supports are typical of the design style they were known for.
