No licence-clean photograph of Formula has crossed our desk yet, so the card runs house illustration for now — a placeholder, not a stand-in for the real ride. Send us your shot of it (structure-first, no park logos or mascots in frame) and if it's the one, your name goes on the card — permanent, printed, yours.
Submitting a photo means signing in first — the credit line only means something attached to an account.

The story of Formula
Energylandia was still a young Polish park when Formula arrived in 2016, giving Zator a modern launched coaster instead of the familiar chain lift. For the traveller approaching the Extreme Zone, it marked a confident step into faster steel. kierunekzator.pl· en.wikipedia.org
The machinery came from Vekoma of the Netherlands, whose Space Warp Launch Coaster used linear-synchronous motors and a compact course. The train leaves the station, pauses in its tunnel, and is sent briskly onward by electromagnets. vekoma.com· kierunekzator.pl
Formula also served as an early public showing of Vekoma’s new-generation thrill work. InPark later recorded Vekoma describing the Energylandia Space Warp as the first debut of a whole new generation of its sit-down thrill coasters. inparkmagazine.com
Energylandia’s own account places Formula among the European Star Award standings in its opening season and again the following year. Its distinction is modest but clear: a neat Polish launch coaster, built with continental assurance. energylandia.pl
