Drakon has flown up. Completed already.

No flags as usual attached the the final piece of track when installing?

No matter, quite amazing how fast they've done it and we're not at the end of the year yet. Well done for all concerned.

That is rapid! Even for a relatively short coaster, it feels like Drakon has flown up!

Nice tight fit as well by the look of it

That's crazy! Must be a record for a thrill coaster

Apparently it also marks the completion of the UK's first Zero-G Stall! (Hyperia's is a Stalled Dive Loop, before anyone asks).

I will say Drakon is a lot smaller than most thrill coasters so probably why it took less time to instal but does prove its the foundations that take the time when building a new coaster

In contrast to Smiler's build...makes you wonder what if Smiler's construction had gone as well as Drakon's though TBF Smiler did have a lot of bad weather to deal with but I digress.

The Smiler is a much larger ride and more complex plus it was also a brand new model of coaster. Drakon is also much faster build then any other coaster wonder if it has the world record for quickest buildup

I didn't know that about Hyperia. It will be interesting to feel how a Eurofighter traverses such an element.
