That's some pretty good theming for Walibi (in comparison with the other rides they have). Hopefully it won't be just a square meter but throughout the whole ride.

Neat minimalist scenery. Kinda reminds of the bent windmills and stuff around the white Oblivion.

"Lost Gravity" also means weightlessness so we also want plenty of good airtime! :)

The ride is supposed to open some time next week. The video for the song also came out.

I have mixed feelings like the layout is intriguing while the ride experience seems actually fun! ;)

Here's some POV footage stitched together from several Snapchat videos.

I presume thats the result of stiching several snapchats together that had additional information on them.

Looks like a pretty solid ride - some sections are slower than I imagined but as per usual I imagine that'll speed up.

Beginning is faster than I anticipated, but the ending looks slower.

Still should be an excellent ride. The larger air hill looks like it came off of Maverick.

The really wide cars look so damn bizarre to me. I don't like the flat turn before the mcbr. I do like how slow the second half is; the hangtime dive loop and really slow zero G. You can hear from the reactions of riders that they're exciting moments. Riding in an outer seat looks like it would be really fun.

Lol the turn before the MCBR has like a barely 10 degree outward bank. Mack is on mushrooms. First putting spinning cars on blue fire of all rides, and now this. To me it's kind of like an S&S el loco + Gerstlauer something hybrid.

^^ I like this "much better" POV, but the previous one still intrigues me. Like if that on-board camera was set properly we could also see the geeky speed gauge that would help our future recreation of this ride!

:D

I was at the opening today, it looks like a really weird coaster but it is so much fun. The lift is pretty fast en pushes you through the drop into a really intens airtime hill and into the weird overbanked turn. The second part after the brake is a lot slower but feels very good with the upside-down time you have. Very fun coaster :D

It looks much better in that POV. Should be an excellent ride once it gets broken in and runs a wee bit faster at the end.

^ I totally agree with you! This is the gentle "Dare Devil Dive" created in the Mack's style because of that special Tophat and some crawling turns! Maybe Lost Gravity means "heavenly airtime" because that Zero-G-Roll is the best moment of the ride!

:D

Maybe Lost Gravity means "Ey Merlin, we can do a more screwed up theme than Smiler"?
