They spent all that money on that looks sh*t
I'd give it 12 months what a flop

 

[wagon dec]

that's what 12.3 million of german tax payers money looks like

how quick do the launch at 120- 150kph after the launch it looks like you could get off there going that slow

 

[eliroche]

Its very short!!! The gopro does give a slowed down perspective of speed I think so maybe its good for the minute or so it lasts!!!

 

[wagon dec]

the launch is mental 0-99.4 mph in 2 seconds

 

[keith dublin]

Mad money

 

[eliroche]

How much is a go on it? Surely its not too bad, go karts at that centre are decent value so I assume this will be the same.

 

[scoobysub]

so how much for a go 10-15 lids

 

[wagon dec]

as far as I know its 15 euro per run

 

[davelegacy]

Is cool

but very short

 

[nurburgnoel]

looks a bit of crack, if the track is closed. Will do next year.

 

[mac mac]

now if they had any brains or ambition they would have made it go all around the circuit , rather than a 30 second thrill . the start (launch and loop ) is the only desirable bit .

Like the Ferrari one I did in Abu Dhabi, it's just the initial acceleration and that's really it...load a boll0x

 

[Keadeen]

Agree, bit of a missed opportunity because so short... Six Flags all the way for roller-coasters...

On another note: They'd want to be selling a lot of tickets to make their money back on that one as the operating expense and insurance will eat a good bit of the revenue too...
... another reason why they've been on the edge of bankruptcy at the Ring for years now... spending money without doing their sums first! --all a big risk to losing a great track!
