The story of Alpina Blitz
Before the first train ever left the station, Nigloland let the plan mature. Coasterpedia records an early coaster announcement in July 2009, later postponements, Mack Rides as designer, and the eventual opening of Alpina Blitz on 12 April 2014. coasterpedia.net
On the Dolancourt site, the making of the ride was a proper civil undertaking. Coastersworld reported clearance beginning on 23 May 2013, vertical construction from 5 December 2013 to 5 February 2014, and RCS GmbH carrying out the assembly. coastersworld.fr
At its debut, Journal du Geek described Alpina Blitz as a custom Mack Rides circuit for Nigloland and the largest investment the park had made since opening in 1987. For a family park in Aube, it was a confident new line in steel. journaldugeek.com
Ten summers on, Androland marked the ride’s anniversary with figures from the park: at least 4.7 million passengers and more than 290,000 cycles. The railway had plainly become part of Nigloland’s yearly rhythm. androland.com
