[hyyyper]

First footers have appeared:

Wow looks good, already! Better luck to the builders!

The boat is being built!

More work on the site

Track's appeared!

That blue color looks beautiful!

^ Agreed!

That track does look gorgeous. Probably put that up for best colour scheme of next year!

Toverland released this teaser video yesterday, personally I'm more interested in the construction progress but it's a nice video nonetheless:

I was at the park for an hour this afternoon. It's hard to make pictures of the new area because it's behind another area that is closed in the winter.

But sadly it looked like there were no track pieces placed yet. The track was lying just outside the area. I guess they are making some progress on other things but not yet on the track placement.

Work has been going on with the restaurant and some buildings but the area is still very much a bunch of dirt. They've got a lot of work to do if they wanna get this open in summer!

^ They indeed are making great progress! I do hope to see it being the 2018's best Wing!

Access looks really good and Toverland is so flat that I reckon this will fly up pretty quickly.

Both new areas (and Fenix) will open on July 7th!

And more track:

Looks like a really neat little area, looking forward to seeing this develop further!

^^ Is it just me, or does the track in that photo look unusually thin?

Visited Clermont Steel on the 4th of February and track for Phoenix is ready, and some more track for other rides still have to be painted!

What an awesome color combination. The blue is so vibrant

Today I made a quick visit to the park to see what the whole area looked like. You could see a lot from their coaster Dwervelwind but sadly you can't take pictures from there.


Fenix is already higher than Dwervelwind (the green coaster).


A lot of track pieces lying around waiting to be placed.


The station building for Fenix and darkride building for Merlin's Quest.


Soon there will be a lake here and the boats will enter the building at the orange entry.


This wil be the station for Merlin's Quest.


The Flaming Feather, a restaurant of the new area.


Toverland is also making a brand new entrance located near Troy and Boosterbike which will be replacing the old one. You could see a lot of that from Boosterbike but again, I couldn't take pictures from there. The building you see here are going to be the ticket counters and the park entrance.


These are a few of the building of the new entrance area Port Laguna.


The queues for Boosterbike and Djengu River (rapids) and Troy were enlarged. I really like the way they did with Troy. Now the entrance is at the start of the area at a preexisting path.


Normally you could enter the queue from this point. Now they made it impossible to do that. It's a bit of a shame that you'll have to walk a bit if you want to redo the coaster when there is just a small line...


But the best part about it is that they removed the zigzag queue and made it more spacious.

I think that the new queue for Troy might have to do something with the fact that the old entry point was really near the newly build entrance. And although it's a bit more of a walk for a reride, I like the change that you'll never have to wait in a boring zigzag queue at Troy again.

Nice little update, thanks Herman!

They already placed a test seat in the park:

Still a lot of work to do before July! Hopefully they can get it all done in time.

Toverland has begun a "making of" series for the new area of the park. It has English subtitles available.

Lift has been topped out if anyone can get Facebook to post the pictures!
