Oblivion at Gardaland Construction Update 3/3/15

Am I being completely retarded, or is there a stall in the pull-up at the bottom of the drop?

Is it just a trick of the light, or am I seeing something that's completely not there?

Nope, you are right, the tunnel section is completely flat. Boo to no sustained G's.

At least there's some decent head-choppers to distract you just before you enter that section though.

Probably just retarded
But yea I see it too.

From the pictures I imagined that airtime hill to be super intense, but in the video it looks kinda "meh". The theming is really cool though! I can't say I'm a huge fan of the colour scheme however, it's too bland.

Look at the airtime hill from Krake. That one is similar to this and and it's a perfect floater. Then again, the only time I've seen B&M going "super intense airtime" was on Goliath @ SFOG.

Great theming. But the coaster looks lame as hell.

The whiteout color scheme looks amazing.

It's a flat section. It's exactly the same as the part before the cobra roll on Raptor.

Very similar drop style to Krake - but without the water splash.

Layout looks alright for the size though - like what I'd have liked to have seen with the original 'blivi!

Well I stand corrected, Merlin actually seem to have done a decent job on all round theming for this ride. The station and end of ride sequence is definitely unique. I'm just hoping they continue to maintain and operate all of the effects to keep the atmosphere present.

This POV video shows the decontamination bit well, as well as the tunnel strobes.

Looks pretty good in this video! Again, great theming!

That air time hill is absolutely pathetic but the rest of the ride looks good.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Definitely much better than the preview video where it looked like it was about to roll back lol. Also I didn't know the windmill and stuff spins! That is great.

It's a floater from what I can see in the POV. Nothing more than I would have expected from B&M.

Europe is a weird with theming rides lol

^Are you complaining?

It still contains more theming than the average American coaster

Thats because ours don't need theming to be good. merica! (gotta defend the motherland)


Still hate the white.
but the theming for the drop is great!

[Turbo]

actually with the whole decontamination thing the white makes sense now.

[mkingy]

Yeah I agree Turbo - I don't like it but at least it makes a bit of sense now haha

[Coasterkidmwm]

I never thought of that either.
