Great photos! I totally can't wait to ride this in May! How is Oz-Iris as far as queue time?

The Swarm at Thorpe Park on March 31st!

I'm planning a quick visit to Gardaland before the end of the month!

Looks pretty good to me! It won't be much different from Swarm! I just wish I could ride it one day soon!

I rode the Swarm with the ECC too on Saturday and I really liked it. In my opinion it's better than Raptor as far as overall ride experience even if Raptor has a better theming. The biggest surprize for me on the Swarm was the last inline which is the part I hate about Raptor. On the Swarm it starts right at the end of the turn and it keeps just the right speed. The best seat for me is the outside right last row because of the low to the water part next to the helicopter.

True. Gardaland has confirmed that both Ikarus and Inferis will no longer be available in 2012. Ikarus was sold to Miragica while Inferis was in my opinion one of the worst horror walk through ever and it's better this way. With Raptor opened last year I wasn't expecting much for this season. I hope for something in 2013.

I'll be there for my very first visit to Parc Asterix on May 12th. Very excited!

I'll be there in two weeks. From what I read it won't be a much different experience from Raptor. I'm not a huge fan of Raptor but I love how it gets better during the day. Also, in my opinion, the best part of Raptor is the first drop so I'm curious to see how that twisty thing really feels like; especially in the back!

Up to now I've booked transportation for: - Thorpe Park (March 31st) - Parc Asterix (May 21th) - Europa Park (May 26th and 27th) - Gardaland (sometime in April) Very excited!!!

I'm really curious to see this coaster in person because the tower is pretty big. As far as the possible ride experience it's hard to get excited.

Also in Italian the word FUN is DIVERTIMENTO. I think it started from that and it came out as it has been explained earlier!

I can't get excited by this either. The only positive thing I can think of is that it's a good excuse to go back to Mirabilandia and ride Katun and iSpeed. I really hope they can pull out some surprizes from this one but I doubt it.

Construction update! The source is again Mirathebest from Theparks.it!

Is anyone planning on visiting Thorpe Park on March 31st?

Looks like there hasn't been an update here in a while! Here's some photos taken by mirathebest today! The first turn has been completed and they are now working on the brake run. Here's a close up. And this is how the ride looks. More photos here: LINK!!!

^^^ Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea how to contact Parc Asterix Press Office? I can't find any direct contact online.

I like these trains even if the ones on Raptor looks better!

I got this for Christmas. It was used by a friend of mine. It's cheap but I really like it! It's a Nokia 5230.

Looks like construction has stopped for the Holydays. Today Mirathebest from Theparks.it was at the park and wrote that they were working and he also posted three photos. I like this one.

I rode Mean Streak in 2007 and I remember a brake in the middle of the first drop. The rest of the leyout was just too slow to give anything good. I really hope they do something about it in the near future.

Merry Christmas to you all! I got: - A PS3 with Gran Turismo 5! - A nice wool pullover! - Chocholate bars. - Cash! - An annual pass to the swimming pool. - A Nokia 5230!

That theming looks amazing. Since I'm already in Europe it won't be too difficult to go there and ride it but I'll probably try to go to parks I've never been to first.

I've posted in the Italian forum about it too! I really hope to get someone new to vote! Here's my top 10: 1. Balder 2. My Favorite Steel 3. Kentucky Rumbler 4. Colossos 5. Raven 6. Cornball Express 7. Hades 8. Cyclops 9. Mammut 10.The Beast

This one: It's an Italian Christmas beer! Very good!
