What is: Untamed - Europe's First Modern Hybrid Coaster!

Untamed is a steel hybrid roller coaster, located at Walibi Holland, in Flevoland, Netherlands. The ride opened to the public as Europe’s first modern hybrid roller coaster constructed by the well known roller coaster manufacturer, Rocky Mountain Construction. And like the majority of their attractions, Untamed didn’t begin its life as the ride we see today. In this video, we explore the redevelopment of the park’s former attraction, Robin Hood; including the ride’s new theme and main statistics.

I would love to see Movie Park converting Bandit to an RMC

[@lz8707]

Had the same thought

[@julian-xy7gh]

Somehow I thought it was a bit older than 1999. Yeah, it Bandit would be great for it, I remember it being the first wooden coaster I've been on that went through its support structure. I still remember the weird feeling of close calls with the support. It would be great if it could become an RMC that gives that feeling. Something that Steve does from the on-ride footage and Untamed doesn't really.

[@BigDBrian]

Robin hood was my first 'big' rollercoaster. Originally i was very scared of it, but after being eventually convinced by my brothers to ride it, I absolutely loved it, and it got me into roller coasters. Years later, revisiting the park for the most recent time, I rode it again, and hated it. It was so rough and unpleasant that it took away from the experience. Getting an RMC in the Netherlands though, I wasn't expecting this at all. So seeing this, it brings me joy, and I feel like I absolutely need to visit the park again as soon as I can.

Its a bit rough but nothing painful (except that one pothole on the first airtime hill), has a solid layout with a few decent airtime pops and it's retracking every year definitely improves it dramatically.

I agree, but my guess is that this will be happening around 2024 / 2025 at the earliest. Walibi Belgium and Parc Asterix are getting the new Intamin Coasters for 2021, after that it's probably Walibi Holland's and Walibi Rhone-Alpes turn again for a major new additions, and only after that will Loup Garou most likely get the RMC Makeover.

If the structure is good enough to be within rehabilitation Magnus Colossus at Terra Mítica seems like a prime candidate.

Someone called CoasterMac305 has even done a no-limits 2 rendition of the idea that seems to follow the original layout to be believable as a conversion.
