looks nice. I wonder what that is for though. Looks too dense to be the station.

Vertical construction finally. This was from the 5th. Hopefully, it's popping up fast.

At WCB, the guy in charge of construction said it would take no time.

The ride in that video does not spin that much, but then again it depends on the weight of the riders.

If they're inclined it's zero gravity and that makes the car unbalanced and flips the riders right?

^Yes. That's why whenever you go up a wheelchair ramp you feel weightlessness. I don't know why people don't go up ramps more often!!

They dont spin much anyway. You'll be lucky if you flip 2 times on this.
Terra Mitica's had some funny feeling to it, Some really nice ejector on the short first 'drop', then a flying position with some high g's, then a really high ejector flip, sometimes you were upside down for like 10 seconds which was good. I actually like the look of the smaller ones to the big ones.

I agree that the smaller are more visually pleasing, but they are definitely not as good as the big ones.

They're really going fast on construction. A few more pictures and a video have been posted to Facebook. Check it out.

it may be finished, but it would take a week or two for testing purposes.
You expecting something not being here?
