Although we’ve known the model of Canobie Lake’s upcoming “Untamed” Euro-Fighter for some time now, the park has released a concept drawing of the compact coaster:
The park recently issued a press release regarding Untamed:
“While most of us are still gearing up for the holidays, Canobie Lake Park is already busy laying the groundwork for a new roller coaster for the Park’s 2011 season. The ride, a Compact Euro-Fighter manufactured by Gerstlauer Amusement Rides in Germany, has been dubbed “UNTAMED” and will be the only one of its kind in New England and the third in the United States.
With grizzly-bear-themed cars holding eight riders each and support columns designed to look like birch trees, the coaster features an initial climb of 75 feet straight up and a first drop that is “beyond vertical,” curving in at 97 degrees. Riders will also experience a series of banked curves, loops, twists, turns and zero-gravity rolls.
“Our new coaster will certainly live up to its name, delivering an exciting mix of thrill elements,” said Chris Nicoli, Canobie Lake Park’s Marketing and Entertainment Manager. “UNTAMED is an excellent addition for us, complementing our classic Yankee Cannonball and Corkscrew coasters and fitting in very well with our other rides and attractions.”
The coaster area will feature a station and shop utilizing rustic log construction and will be designed in an Adirondack/forest style throughout. Canobie Lake Park will be releasing regular construction progress photos in the weeks and months to come.
