Parc Saint Paul 2018 - Wood Express: GG Family Wooden

[Paradox]

Parc Saint Paul in France has announced that for 2018 they will be getting a family Gravity Group wooden with 13 moments of airtime!

Oh.

The PAX Wild Mouse is supposed to be removed in the next years but not be replaced by the Wooden Coaster.

Yes it appears that it will be taking the space across from Formule 1.

I personally hope it will stay. Pax rides are all brilliant and insane.

I'm surprised about the layout. All straight airtime hills. I'd expected to have them throw in a few banked hills as well.

The ride has gone vertical!



The ride looks really interesting on the park map. Wonder how they designed that

WTH is that real
Edit: it's real

Is this actually a family coaster or are they just calling it that because it's short?

I love these little rides, I do wish however, that TGG would build more large models outside of China. The last large coaster they made not in China, that I know of is Ravine Flyer 2

Wood Express continues to rise:

Looks cute so far. I forgot this exists.

Never seen such a bare transfertrack. I actually never seen such mechanism on a transfertrack before. It looks like the outer rails aren't moving and the inner rail is being flipped upside down.

The other parts of the coaster are also starting to look really nice!

Looks like they made it in RCT 1 or 2, took a screen cap, and placed it on the park map.

Looks surprisingly fast for its size and height!

I'd definitely need to stop by there anytime soon. Looks like a really fun little ride.
