Sleipnir has nothing to do with Enchantia or the Red Eye Corp. I hadn’t even created the first mascots that would eventually lead to the creation of Enchantia. This was my first real creation in Planet Coaster 2, back when the game was still incomplete and buggy — it felt more like a demo than a full game. I even had a couple of game crashes while building this roller coaster. Even now, the reviews on Steam are negative, but that's because they date back to the game’s launch. Today, it’s much more complete, improved, and full of content. They should really update those reviews (kind of like with No Man's Sky, but PlanCo2 took less time to become a good game).
The roller coaster is the classic chain-lift model, included in the standard packs for building a theme park. The layout is the standard one used in many theme parks. For example, I based the layout on a historic Italian roller coaster, the MK-1200 model ( search on wikipedia, i'm a theme park fan, not an exspert). In the central area of Gardaland, there’s the “Magic Mountain”... more or less, because that roller coaster has been there for years and they’ve changed its name and theme hundreds of times over the years. For one year, it was called “Big Foot”, but the name only lasted a year. Then it became “Shaman”, themed around Native Americans, where they introduced virtual reality combined with the roller coaster… and that VR thing didn’t last long — they removed it a year later. They even put sponsor stickers on the sides of the train, like on subway cars.
I used Magic Mountain as a base for the layout. I focused on the theming of the attraction, mainly because roller coasters aren’t really my strong suit — I’m more of a dark ride kind of person. The theme is Viking-inspired, and the train is customized, taking inspiration from the mythological figure of Sleipnir.
The floating island is just scenery — as far as we know, it’s hollow inside and probably made of cardboard.

A bit of Norse mythology trivia for those who don't know who Sleipnir is. Sleipnir is Odin’s horse, described as “the best horse there is.” He can run anywhere — in the sky, on water, and across the Nine Realms — without needing the Bifrost. He has gray fur, but his most distinctive feature is that he has eight legs. In the various fan art I’ve seen online, people can’t seem to agree on how to depict them: some show him with eight actual legs — four in front and four in the back — while others draw him with four regular legs, each splitting into two hooves at the end.
Sleipnir is the son of Loki, the trickster god who, I remind you, is NOT Thor’s brother and NOT Odin’s son (damn Marvel). I’m sure the story of Sleipnir’s conception will be popular with many Furaffinity users because it contains tags like Transformation, TG, and s** between horses… and a cracked skull.
It all started with a bet. Asgard commissioned its anti-giant walls to a skilled builder, who towards the end revealed himself to be a giant. As payment, he asked for Freyja, the sun, and the moon. Then Loki turned the commission into a bet by adding a time limit. The problem was that the giant was winning, because he had a legendary super horse with an unpronounceable name, Svaðilfœri, helping him. The gods were worried about losing the bet, so they took it out on Loki, who had proposed the bet and convinced everyone to accept, and said to him: “Alright, fix this or we’ll beat you up.”
How did Loki fix the situation? Loki did… what tricksters do in various mythologies, the comedic subplot. So Loki transformed himself into a mare and seduced the giant’s horse… and yes, Loki let himself be… I can’t say it, i want to maintain this post general rating… let’s just say: have a romantic appointment whith the giant’s legendary horse for three days and three nights straight.
The giant’s story ends badly: he didn’t finish the work on time, lost the bet, and got furious, revealing his true giant nature. Then Thor intervened, saw him, and said, “Oh shit, a Giant!”. Since the Asgardians are racist against giants, Thor was the most racist of all with his “no Giants” attitude. He brandished the hammer Mjolnir and crushed the giant’s skull with a single blow.
Later, Loki gave birth to Sleipnir and handed him over as a gift to the dad… eh, did you really think so? …cousin/uncle/nephew Odin. So Loki isn’t Sleipnir’s father, he’s his mother. Da-da-dan.
The end.
To be continued… with the ride description… The mythological story of Sleipnir is over.
