Phantasialand 2016: Taron and Raik

[Paradox]

Also this video was released showing the quarry where Phantasialand ordered 500 tons of basalt!

I think Intamin has a guy locked up somewhere where all he does is obsessively shape hundreds of transitions every day, and one day he broke out of his cage and just let loose on a design the company was making. It was too late to notice any changes, and the file was sent straight to manufacturing without anyone looking at it, and that's how this happened.

Obviously above something, but what exactly? Hmmmmmm

Maybe part of the queue? I can't quite tell the depth of that section.

Oh man I hope they do snake the queue around - although they'll probably install netting which ruins photos

Today the track was completed!



And credit RCT3Bross on TPR for this drawing of the overhead layout.

Smiler eat your heart out - that layout is crazy! Going to be some great dueling moments!

Oh my god when I saw that layout photo I spit my coffee all over my monitor and my manager slapped me across the face

[slosprint]

Can't wait to see those first tests, the speed of the launches will make or break this ride.

Me seeing that layout, also why is one turn in green?



EDIT: I just looked it up, the track is green because at the time that turn wasn't build yet.

I don't think that the queue will be here. There are many supports that are pretty well themed but these supports aren't so I don't think you'll be able to walk past them... They still could theme them but the track is already unwrapped so I think they're done theming the supports here.

I'm going to Phantasialand on Sunday. I will look if I can see something!

EDIT:

The supports seem to stand on a building which seems to be also the station building so probably there is a queue under there...

Some more pics of the unpacked coaster at phantasialand.
Absolutly amazing the theming of this coaster!
I can't wait to see more! At November 21st the park opens for the winter season.

The pull through has startet yesterday.

^ Welcome and you did make a good start here with these attractive images! The track gets full of "interesting" turns and we can't imagine well what it's like to ride on this!

Phantasialand is testing if you can touch the scenery and theming from inside the train with this special car!

Wonder if NL might get an updated clearance envelope as I think this one is different!

^update with test cars!
Im hoping a POV will be out soon of this coaster

^ To know the essence of this ride!

[Paradox]

Two new videos with pictures from the offseason!

Pictures look fantastic but the layout is still pretty unintelligible. Me need POV.

The ride is fantastic or not... god only knows because we don't know yet when this official on-ride video will come out! I can see at least, that the scenery is fabulous!

That picture shows they used ALL the space they had, wich will probably make the theming more immersive, I also like that they are renovating the rapids.

How will they take that red crane out of there? With another crane?

It's everything I hoped it would be...
