It seems that we need to come back!!!! :)
Hansa-Park was probably the most surprising park off our Germany trip 2017... to bad I had to leave earlier that day!

It's just a rumor I've heard: They're getting a big woodie (probably from GCI)

Turns out Hansa Park's 2019 addition will be the world's tallest Gyrodrop Tower at 120 metres. It will be part of a new Britain themed area and will be called Highlander:

Ohhh, gyrodrops are always good fun. I wonder what type of restraints it's going to get. The classic or maybe something new and modern?

It will be a Funtime drop tower with tilting seats. It will have OTSR's from Gerstlauer.

I'm just hoping the tilting of these seats will also be at the drop and not only before the drop. Other than that, I'm sure this will be a great addition!

Where is Rasender Roland (the Junior Coaster) on this render?
Hansa Park apparently didn't care too much about it so could this retheme mean the end of Roland?

Not a fan of the new colours. It will fit with the theme for sure but... yeah.
I'm wondering what they will do with Rasender Roland: repaint or remove?

I???d imagine repaint and retheme, removal would be too soon considering its a custom model and how it intertwines with Nessie
1. Voyage 2. Intimidator 305 3. Maverick 4. Skyrush 5. Mindbender (Galaxyland) 6. Fury 325 7. Kumba 8. Goliath (Six Flags Over Georgia) 9. The Beast 10. Phoenix

Out of 139 creds

Hearing how Hansa Park Currently treats Roland, I can only hope it. I've heard it's rusty, all the original wooden beams under the track have disappeared and it's one of the roughest coasters in the park

They already have another kids coaster, but what could replace Rasender???s old spot? Would Rasender just be relocated to a FEC?

Stupid question. Is the light green the new paint?

The height looks awesome but seeing those brakes already at halfway the tower I'm sad to see the actual drop being so short.
