I love how they integrated the whole setting and the supports are fantastic. What is with European chairlifts being 15ft off the ground?

This should be an interesting and fun ride. I won't be there on opening day. But I will attempt to visit shortly after. :)

The looping star only ran like one train in the last bunch of years. Seeing that cycled only like once every 5-10 minutes. The capacity will be a lot higher then they used to have.

I also didn't math right lol. There are 20 seats for a ride shorter than an SR2. Capacity will be relatively good lol

Well at least in the teasers it doesn't appear to almost valley itself in every single element like Monster in Iowa.

Gerstlauer is so weird
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

I've heard from some dutch forums that the ride is excellent, the backwards launch is the best launch and the ride rattles a bit on the back row.

Air hill looks good and it looks like it has positive G's as well, looks like a winner to me!

I think that the Gerst's WOT Loop and Top Hat are the winners! :D

Looks like a quality ride to me too! Wish they hadn't masked the LIM launch sound with music on the POV though :P

Last Tuesday I was there. Unfortunately it was during a time they spotted a small issue with the foundation, which would result in big issues in the long run. So they closed the ride for roughly 1,5 week time, to pour new concrete in certain areas. Too bad it took longer then expected to have it hardening due the weather. Luckily, It opened yesterday again. But I still haven't ridden it. :lol:

I shot a bunch of pictures Tuesday:
Image
They were somehow filling the inside with concrete or so? At least it looked like they were pumping something in the footers.

So, that was my picture spam. :V I hope to get time to get back there soon. Looks like a really fun ride. :)
