Lorsque Sunkid a annoncé à la mi-janvier l'intégration du Brandauer Mountain Coaster dans la famille Sunkid, cette nouvelle a eu un grand retentissement international.
"Nous savions que le Mountain Coaster s'intégrerait parfaitement dans notre gamme de produits et qu'il aurait pour nous un très grand potentiel à moyen terme. Le résultat obtenu après une seule saison a toutefois largement dépassé nos attentes", déclare le CEO de Sunkid Emanuel Wohlfarter. Sunkid a pu réaliser pas moins de 7 projets en l'espace de 8 mois seulement et a ainsi marqué un point d'exclamation clair sur le marché. Le plus grand projet de l'année a été le Jahorina Mountain Coaster, inauguré il y a quelques semaines, qui présente de nombreux atouts techniques sur une longueur totale de plus de 2,5 kilomètres et qui a fait grimper en flèche le nombre de visiteurs du Jahorina Olympic Center. "Nous sommes déjà très confiants pour l'année à venir et, outre les différents projets, nous travaillerons également au développement continu du Mountain Coaster", conclut Wohlfarter.
Over hill and dale with the Jahorina Mountain Coaster
Only 30 km away from Sarajevo lies the mountain range Jahorina. Already used as the center of the women's alpine skiing Olympic competition in 1984, the region is now developing into an up-and-coming tourist destination. The area still scores with its original charm, the dense forests and the almost untouched nature. Harmoniously adapted to this idyll, the Jahorina Mountain Coaster has now been built, which celebrated its opening in August 2019 and from there on offers numerous visitors a special experience.
The adventure begins in the bottom station, which is located not far from a few new hotels and guesthouses. From there, the six-seater chairlift takes off and makes its way towards the top of the mountain. Across meadows and wooded areas, it climbs up to the top station and the reservoir next to it at 1900 meters. Only a stone's throw away from the lift station, the unique riding experience begins on a 2.5 km long monorail track. Simply climb aboard the toboggan of the coaster and off you go on a fast-paced journey of discovery through the varied landscape. After passing the first mountain meadows, steep curves lead into the first forest section. Here the jumps are the highlight of the ride. After a short detour back into a meadow landscape, a high-speed curve provides a special kick. Crossing a bridge, you will return to the wooded surroundings, where the trees left close to the track will bring you very close to nature and intensify the driving experience. Then it's out of the forest to the last meters, where a special track design once again provides adrenaline. With the destination already in sight, especially wide curves and the track end brake located at the end of the track lead to a gentle end of an impressive ride. Photo points built into the course have naturally captured special moments and create pictorial memories of an impressive experience.
