I really wonder what the trains look like under those covers. I mean, they obviously look incredibly like the rita ones, but i wnat to see the logo on the front. Then we will know the name.

Thanks for them awesome pics. I honestly think this is gonna be the best coaster in the UK since nemesis.

Now that the tophat is done this coaster is a whole lot closer to being done. And it also looks much better with the tophat on too.

Or so you think ;) Remember - Hydraulics. Putting the thing up was the easiest part.

^Well yah I know they still need the hydraulic system and everything else regarding propulsion, but the hardest part to put up is the tophat and that's done.

You think? Look how fast it went up! Its going to take all of winter to get the system down.


I must reiterate how SMALL that airtime hill is. The ride is 200 and the hill is what, 50ft? Its ridiculous.

Ok, just trying to say something but it came out all horribly wrong. The closest rocket coaster to me is several thousand miles away. I have not much experience with them. So thanks for clearing up the nebulosity of my mind.

LOL it wasnt about that. Im just amazed at how fast it went from 40% done to 100% done. Obviously they didnt have any troubles getting the thing up. Plus there isnt much track to put up. The stuff along the ground took no time and the hardest part of tracking was the tower but as you can see from the video, they put up like 3 sections at once.


They will put in long hours getting all the electrical, hydraulic and safety systems. Especially if they have knowledge of how TTD and KK have done.

Yes, hopefully they can get this rocket to be the most reliable of all of them. Because most of what you hear about rockets is that they're broken down.

Terrible animation! Although i sure as hell couldn't do any better, i am surprised at the shoddyness of the animation, they need to get some real professionals on the job
