I believe the new train is from ART, who also built the trains for Zierer's Tower Ccoasters - photos of Impulse at Knoebels are on the ART website

Looks like they t will be a quiet opening few weeks over at Drayton. It's not great having Shockwave closed, I'm not sure why the trains have taken so long to be on site.Annual pass day on the 17th March

Hopefully it will be open by Easter

Yes it was confirmed but talking to staff it will keep the Wave bit so maybe with the Adventure cove theme maybe it will be renamed Tidal Wave.She confirmed it will have a new name there too (not sure if that’s news).

Only just properly seen this. Where you ask what was under the cover in the carpark, it looks like an electrical transformer to me. The building by the lifthill looks suspiciously like a plant / electrical room.

Looks like mine carts?
That would certainly make sense given the poster!

What with a the classic transformer heatsinks and earthing cable? All mine cars have those right?!

Not sure if you was referring to my comment or the photo of the trains that have arrived.
