Python at eftaling is great though that's had a full retrack and new Verkoma cars. Other arrow loppers show their age badly though

Python is a Vekoma isn't it?

Sad to see another Arrow coaster bite the dust. Thought it was OK when I went on it in June. Just wish I'd got a few more rides in.
Strange time to remove it what with Orion opening next year (which replaces Firehawk that went last year) so it could be a few years before anything substantial gets put into the place as well. Was also the site of Arrows first suspended coaster The Bat as well. In fact it reused the station building.
Weirdly Kings Island seems just as famous for some of its former rides than what they have in place today.

Construction of Orion is progressing and you can now see how annoyingly high and steep the brake run is:

What a complete waste of energy. I know that there will be cost limitations and maybe some space limitations but there's clearly going to be more than enough energy left for a second half to this coaster.

It's a waste of energy, of course it'll still be a great ride but feels a bit half-arsed for a chain as big as Cedar Fair.I don't understand the fuss here, it looks lower than the Leviathan brake run and that is a pretty great ride.

It's north of £20m of investment... That's just ride hardware too, nothing fancy alongside!

I think from an enthusiast's point of view it is a waste of energy and it means a decent ending with airtime filled bunny hops is lost. From the park's persective then these coasters cost a fortune and it simply is not viable to build a longer layout and add another £5 million or so to the cost.

If I lived nearby then it would be super exciting. But for someone who doesn't live in the US there's no reason for me to go and ride this rather than Fury 325 or Leviathan. Even in Ohio we already have Millennium Force! If this was in Europe though I'd be super excited
