1. You can do that on an invert, but you shouldn't. All inverts I have ever ridden have had sticker telling you not to do that. 2. By watching this photo we can se that the front cover of the car is not acting in the way a shin-bar does. Those restraints come from Mack's family rides, and they are just not suitable for inversions.

They are really hauling a$$ with construction now!

Correct! We could brake it down to two different bars: Simple design, made to keep rider from sticking out their legs More advanced design, made to keep the rider in the seat

The restraints itself it's not the same on the spinner and the looper. It's also a big difference on the angle the restraints lock your body down with if it's coming from the front or from above. That's why all restraints who is not coming from above needs a knee-bar today if they wish to perform twisty inversions, unless you wanna do like Gerstlauer and build a really big bar.

None of the two big-a$$ Intamin's being constructed in China is using the double-spined track, despite being really big. If we compare it to the ride opening in Dubai who is using a lot of double-spined track then it's really strange. The main reason for using the double-spined track is to save 1. columns and 2. foundations. Foundations cost basically nothing to construct in China compared to the western world, but I imagine the steel price is pretty much the same for the columns. Any guesses?

Yes, I have a real hard time thinking those restraints would be qualified for a ride which flip you upside down.

^ Doubtful, the ride do have an inversion, but we'll see.

The Color Fantasy/Magic are amazing ships, the only downside is that their main guests are germans. And not the nice kind, the deckchair reserving kind..

I wanna let someone else go at the layout, but have this ride reopened yet?

The new website is totally awesome!! There's two insanely awesome videos now, one is the commercial and the other is a really cool overview of the ride. wildfire.kolmarden.com

^ That video is awesome, never seen a drop tower caught on tape like that before!

Thank you for your highly unqualified knowledge.

That's awesome!

That music! This will be the big inverted stall!

The park have opened another area with the thrilling speed slides: Source

I would personally prefer the flyer before the family ride because Europe needs another flyer. However the family ride is probably the best choice for the park atm, and it looks pretty god damn awesome! What i really like about this is that it is three different rides, in three different areas with three different themes, which makes me think we can except all of them to be built in the future. I really like the theme on the topspin ride!

It sure is!

I think this one can be a bit tricky

Odyssey!

Skyrush track! Source

^ Yeah I'm with you there, I'm also guessing single cars. I don't think the turn in the drop will be a problem for a longer train but damn that thing gets steep fast!
