THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PUTTING IT!?! Man when I was there that little alley didn't seem big enough to widen your arms without slapping someone.

Even better when you're falling straight down face first. That small area seems even smaller at that moment.

It looks like a drop tower I would jam into a tiny area of jamp up land!

Apparently the permit dispute has not been 100% resolved, but construction is still coming along well according to the park.

The crane has arrived!



The tower's topper has also arrived which will be a giant rotating sun!







The first piece of the tower has also arrived and so has the cog which will be part of the lift mechanism!

Dat sprocket

Lets see if it ends up scorching somewhere or blinding people like that hotel pool in Las Vegas. Looks really neat, I wasn't expecting it too look like that.

Going up!

[Coasterkidmwm]

I really need to visit this park. Is the path going to continue under it?

^ I'll go too, but wait until 2020 because that invert looks just as insane

[Coasterkidmwm]

They're adding a SkyJump to Parkitect so I can cram one in that way to hold myself over lol. Do you think the invert will use the vest restraints like Banshee?

I'm betting so - they're much more comfortable whilst experiencing lats... something that invert is likely to have a tonne of!

This sure went up fast















Confirmed height of the tower is 76 meters which translates to about 250 ft.

I can barely imagine that in a few years there will be another coaster going across all that towers!

Hope to see a "Giga" coaster coming with the special support modification!

Looks good! The cars look lighter and more awesome. I hope this ride turns out as a success. So Intamin might sell more of these smaller towers.

[Coasterkidmwm]

The ride carriage is taller than I thought it would be lol. Climbing that ladder on the right would scare the bejebus out of me.

[Paradox]

It's now open!

[Coasterkidmwm]

The snap back into the seated position is alot farther down the tower than I thought it would be. I'm still amazed they fit the damn thing in there. Looks like a really awesome ride.

^ Thought the same. It seems to be a quicker snap, and the swing? That looks cool! WANT ONE CLOSER.

^^ The swing into the face-down position at the top looks very fast as well!

[mkingy]

Looks pretty awesome, glad we've got one in Europe!
