That looks amazing

That airtime hill looks awesome, even at slow lift speed!

This angle of the lift and drop is magical.

I love that you can hear the people taking the second video in the first, it shows just how the excited they actually are.

And they released an official video with some onride shots:

Just one month to go..

^LOL at the very end. They love it so much. #champagneshowers

I still think that drop is really odd because it stays that high up for so long but w/e should be neat when the lift is speedy.

[gouldy]

I love that the first element you go through/over after the drop is basically the lowest element on the ride.

It opens a month today as well! (7th July 2018)

I absolutely love it how they keep adding a personal touch to their videos and way of advertising. You rarely see parks doing that. <3

POV should be neat when it's sunny and closer to completion with the little tunnels and stuff on it.

main points:
-darkride section is 2 minutes long and will feature lighting effects and 18 animatronics
-most work left is detailing and programming

According to the park, F??nix hits 5g!

^ Ouch, that's intense!

What happened to those times when enthusiasts were like: "Awesome! An intense ride!", just from hearing the same message.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Yeah imma doubt that lol

Not a chance. No way in hell they're pulling 5g on a B&M Wing Coaster

There will be multiple places on the ride where it hits high numbers like that for in-perceivable fractions of time, hell you can hit 30 g's if you sit down firmly, but that's not what they mean.

[mkingy]

I'd love it to sustain 5g but yeah, don't think so.

[afro85]

idk about the 5G but it has a tight layout, this could be easily one really intense wing coaster compare to others. We'll see the riders reaction once it opens!

A few people outside of Toverland have ridden Fenix already and apparently these people stopped riding after a few rides because of the high forces

[Dirk_Ermen]

If everything goes the way I hope, I'll be checking it out myself on Monday.

As for the G-force thing. It's probably the highest spike they've used on their measurements and then rounded up to whole numbers. So probably a 4,5g spike, which could be at the bottom of the first drop.

Toverland... WHY
They made a beautiful area, a beautiful queue, a beautiful station.
This is just an anti-climax of the experience imo
