That last picture looks really nice. I love the way the wood curves on those two s-hills

Wow.

Ok, so there's definitely an Ireland meet this year, yes? I have got to ride this.

It's interesting how they supported the steep track on the first drop. Haven't seen that done before.

Yeah, for my mind those diagonal braces should be in the opposite direction.

Like (assuming "\\" is track) :

|\\
|/\\
| /\\

What is it with the UK/the-little-islands-around-it and stupid records? I remember when Jubilee was the "Tallest and fastest coaster encircling a pyramid". Really? I thought USA marketing was bad.

Looks nice.

I'm actually quite happy that the UK is getting a major wooden coaster.

Last element to be built apparently - and it'll be an overbank rather than an inversion as we class it afaik.

And yes. UK meet. Certainly.

Looking at how this woodie gets built, there's no way this can have any inversion! :lol:

I'm pretty sure that this coaster is not in the UK.


Looks nice though.

Well, actually, Ireland is in the UK area - one of British Isles. :)

Well, they can't actually build the tallest and fastest, so this is all we have. :lol:

From an outside perspective the UK and its islands are like watching states in the midwest battle it out to see who is the least boring.

Well, there it is. The last part of the track they construct is the... "inversion".

Looks like a seriously badass ride, though, aside from the gimmick.

If six flags can classify the loop rides as a rollercoaster, then they certainly have the right to classify this as an inversion.
