I think the angle throws you off a bit so its not actually a floorless.

Perhaps. I was hoping to see some more testing photo's of the actual car, but it's been quiet lately around this project. I assume they are currently finishing off the theming around the ride.

The park opened last week so more pictures and another testing video came in. They are currently working on theming and adding water to the soon-to-be water feature.

That picture of those rolls is just epic to see! Also good job on Lagoon for adding this type of elevator lift. Double the capacity!

[mkingy]

I literally completely forgot this had an elevator lift!

I do expect the "wobble" feeling between the left roll and the right one! That must be another kind of thrill.

The elevator lift looks cool, but I am kinda confused how it will work.

Have you seen the video of holiday world old slide ttd

Ah, ok, makes sense now!

Gee, this is how Cannibal goes up to the tallest point! Thanks for the video!

So I know Cannibal has been delayed... I think it's the trains. A few months ago, the trains had 12 seats. In the new videos there are only 11 (missing one in the back row)... I wonder if the trains are heavier than anticipated.

[mkingy]

Maybe its the "unique thrill element". Annoying park guests are given the ejector seat to quickly remove them from the park.

Hopefully they don't need to pull out the whole row. It's bizarre that it's missing one seat instead of two to make it symmetrical.

I rode SROS SFA next to a missing seat in the back row one time. That was interesting lol.

From what I've heard they took it off to design some extra padding.

Yes the park has confirmed that the seat is coming back. They took it off for that reason.

Where is that release? I'm just curious

This was posted on instagram by the parks director of special events.
"One of the seat frames in the back row was temporarily removed in order to sculpt the padding. The padding manufacturer requested it and we were pleased to oblige. ALL Cannibal vehicles are configured with 3 rows of 4 individual seats."

According to a comment from Lagoon on their Facebook page, Cannibal should be opening soon!

^Good to hear. I didn't think it would open this soon since it's in-house

[JAMMY]

It's very strange how quiet this project went after all the testing videos and construction pics. I can't wait to see the finished thing and hopefully hear some positive reviews.

[TTD03]

So it hasn't opened yet?
