Holiday Park in Hassloch, western Germany, is developing a new thrill coaster which is set to open in July 2014.

The as-yet-unnamed €8m ($10.6m) ride will include a catapult launch, numerous loops and a 'slow motion' feature.

Located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, Holiday Park is one of Germany's most popular theme parks, receiving about a million visitors per year.

The wooded park's Free Fall Tower was the first amusement ride of its kind in Europe.

Holiday Park also offers several roller coasters, including Expedition GeForce, a waterpark and live shows.
