Tickets are dirt cheap as wellThink I'm guna make a trip for 2019. So cheap to fly and stay nearby too.
Yeah, I agree. I do actually think black can look quite swish at times! I wasn't too keen on this black to start off with, but it's grown on me now it's started being built!It's looking good. I don't really mind the colour to be honest. I think black is always a safe bet with coasters, I've not seen a coaster that doesn't suit it, whereas I've seen a lot of bright coloured coasters which I don't think look at good at all.![]()
Coaster porn at it's finest this.
Track work is now complete, and a good old fashioned Intamin train pull through is taking place:

Think I got some airtime just looking at it.That first hill looks mental. Can not wait for September!
This excites the geek in me I love stuff like this but don't understand what they are doing.
Sometimes with new coaster, and Intamin especially like to do this, they pull through a train to make sure that there are no clearance envelope issues (and I suppose to make sure it runs smoothly along the rails). Safer to this this slowly than just let it go at full speed!
With regards to the testing, looks slow....

It's all very impressive. But the real crunch will be how it rides. I've not ridden this new style Vekoma track, but I've a horrible feeling it might be a rattler.
