SOCHI-PARK Sochi, Russia Olympic Village and Park for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games official website
New Park - Opening 2014
Park News - (5/13/13) A few new pictures from the Sochi Park area have been posted to ThemeparX this week. (3/8/13) TheThemeParkGuy is back with a new update all about Sochi-Park now under construction next to the site of the next Winter Olympic Games. (1/2/13) I mentioned back in the IAAPA 2012 coverage in Novmeber but forgot to include it here. In either late 2013 or 2014, S&S Worldwide has confirmed that their first circular 20-seat Combo Tower ride will be going in at the new Sochi Park. (9/12/12) The Theme Park Guy is back with some new pictures of the future Sochi-Park site in Russia. (9/4/12) TheThemeParkGuy has posted posted some on-site pictures from the Sochi-Park area already under construction for the 2014 Winter Olympics this week. Right now the early focus on the overall ocean-front site is the work on the several massive stadiums going on at the same time for the games. They also include pictures of the theme park’s model on display in the visitors center preview building. (8/6/12) According to an update posted to RCDB, Sochi Park Adventureland is said to be under construction in Russia already, looking to open in 2013 with three roller coasters: a Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang (aka: Déjà Vu), a Mack Wild Mouse and the previously spotted launched coaster clone of Mack’s Blue Fire. In addition to having an official site online showing off construction pictures of the overall Olympic project, new pieces of artwork and model photos show off the park and Olympic site, along with peeks at numerous other possible rides that may be built at the park. Use an online translator in your browser (like Google Chrome) and you can see the list of lands and attractions further down and at the bottom there are eight animated videos showing off all aspects of the park, including a POV of a coaster ride, and even depicts the top of the park’s drop tower ride to be on fire as a giant Olympic games torch cauldron. (8/2/12) From what I’m told, the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia will prove to be very interesting, and different from what we’ve come to expect from previous Winter Games. Sochi is located right on the Black Sea and apparently has a very mild climate, where the temperature is not known to drop below 50º in the winter, so the Olympic Village will take advantage of this with a lot of fun outdoor activities, warm weather, palm trees and possibly rides and roller coasters. Meanwhile, not far away guests will ascend up into the nearby mountains where the temperature will drop quickly and snow is plentiful for most of the outdoor Olympic games. (8/1/12) A reader sent in t
his image of a proposed vision for an Olympic Village in Sochi, Russia for the 2014 Winter Olympics. There seem to be an assortment of rides scattered around the layout plan, which I’m not quite sure how that will work for a “Winter” Olympic games event, but see if you can spot the coaster? If I’m not mistaken, that appears to be a clone of Mack’s Blue Fire launched coaster from Europa Park.
