^^They removed a part of blue river? Wow, this ride is going to be bigger than I thought! So, they removed the two slides closer to Sierra/iSpeed or what?

Well, there have been some construction photos posted on Miraforever.com... http://www.miraforever.com/ Well, from the pics, I can only see some footers being placed, and nothing else really... No track to be seen anywhere... =/ Oh, and I have absolutely no idea about what the text above the pics says... Anyone know Italian?

http://www.rcdb.com/m/id4074.htm RCDB says it's a twisted horsehoe roll... Anyway, I can't wait to see this up and running! The trains are awesome, it's gonna have a dark section, and it has the coolest elements ever! It can't get better...

Sooooo... Any news on this one? It's been all quiet for almost a month now... Did they start building yet?

Wow, I just went through all the pages, and I have to say, there are some amazing artists on this site! Great work guys! As for my art... It's still WIP, obviously... It's actually not the latest version, as the real drawing has been fixed up a bit, since I took a pic of it...

iSpeed! 1. It's at a park close to me. 2. It's going to be my first Intamin 3. It's going to be my first launched coaster 4. My first coaster with serious airtime 5. The layout looks absolutely stunning from the animation

I can help you out with Mirabilandia and Gardaland... Got plenty of pictures... Also, I noticed you only got fotos of Prater's Boomerang, how it once was... I got some pics of the new colors, and the new lap-bar trains...

Hmm, when I saw it closed i thought it was going to be turned into some kind of special halloween attraction or something.... The ride kinda neede some TLC tho.... Also from Gardaland, they are going to retheme Magic Mountain to a sasquatch theme... I think that was also officially annouced, becouse I remember some pics... Also, i heard they were getting new cars for Blue Tornado... It would certainly use some new ones...

I absolutely hate beeing anywhere high and non restrained... Hell, even with restraints I don't feel really comfortable on some rides, like turbo booster... The thing is, I hate when I'm pulled out of the seat, not like airtime, but, when the seat is tilted 90 degrees forward, and you hang by your restraint... I've mostly come over this fear, but I still probably wouldn't ride Deja Vu... Otherwise, I'm also a little claustrophobic... For instance, in the Emperor Tomb (Kaisergruft) In Vienna, I almost passed out.... And sometimes I totally panick in complete darkness, especially if there's weird noises... It even gets so far, that if I'm home alone, I won't be able to fall asleep for several hours, becouse I'll be thinking about stuff that could happen, even tho it makes absolutely no sense... Oh, and I fear things I cannot explain. A couple of years ago, I read a book called Encyclopedia of Secrets, and there was a lot of mysterious stuff in it, and after that I couldn't sleep for 5 days/nights...

8/10 woopy

Nice trip reports! I've been to Gardaland on Sunday, and I was surprised by the theming... IDK why, but I never thought Gardaland would have much theming... Anyway, what is it about Sequoia that you don't like? I mean, it's not the best ride ever, but it's still pretty fun, and the feeling at the top, when you know the train is going to flip over any second, even tho the train travels quite fast, and there's nothing you can do about it, is awesome IMO... lol Also, I rode Blue Tornado 3 times, and the only time it hurt my head was when I was in the 1st row! Oh, did you buy the Gardaland express extreme card? On sunday, the lines were huge, and it really helped out a lot!

Sry for the double post, but today, Mirabilandia made the official announcement! http://www.miraforever.com/ Here's the official article... and here's the same article translated into english: Looks like it opens on April 9th! Yay! I also found this: (Thanks to niko007 from Miraforever.com)

The video is really nice looking! The coaster also looks really sick... A 55m tophat, followed by a large airhill, and than some really small S-hills, and a completely insane, way too fast roll... I hope it won't have to be taken out, like Maverick's... EDIT: Btw, was this supposed to be the official announcement? Didn't they say, they would announce it today?

^^Yeah, but it's one of the first Intamins to use a LSM launch... The only other ones I can think of are California Screamin and Maverick... Will be interesting to see how it turns out... ^Sierra Tonante will be missed by everyone who lives nearby, becouse it was the only woody in Italy, and this part of Europe...

Well, the funny thing is that you can see Intamin track in the background. lol Also, I've done some calculating, and I found out that the launch will pull 1.4G! That should be awesome!

So, that means the launch will be high up in the air, or tilted.... Does anyone know, if the station will be in the same building as STs was? Also, it's 5m higher than expected, so that's cool! lol Can't wait for 10/24 to find out more! Anyway, that poster looks sexy! I wonder why they used B&M track tho... Oh, btw, It would be really great if someone could finally change the topic title to "iSpeed - Mirabilandia accelerator - 2009" or something... It's not a B&M mega...

Aah, I see! I really hope they are right, I just love the looks of Intamin Corks, Immelmans and Heartline rolls... SO smexy! And about the construction: Yeah, I think they are going to start any time now... At least, they said they would... BTW, does anyone know, if ST is completely gone yet? I mean the footers and all...

^Uhmmm You sure about that? :/

That overban thingy looks insane! Looks like a 100* banked tophat... There should be just about 0G at the top, maybe more like 0.1 or 0.2, but still, a nice effect!

^Agreed! We want construction! lol Anyway, the layout looks really amazing, and I love how it's squeezed in such a tight space! Also, I love how that airtime hill after the tophat looks! What I dn't get is, where the 3 or 4 inversions are... I can clearly see one, the roll by the station... The second one might be a barrelroll, right infront of the last turn... But where are Numbers 3 and 4? EDIT: BTW, could someone edit the topic title, it's kinda confusing...

Wow, this is cool news! The leaked pics look great!

^Yeah, I agree... I had a nice plan of my visit in the may vacations, where there would be absolutely no crowds at the park. lol Oh, well, I'll just go to Gardaland or something between the may holidays... Maybe even Evropa Park if I'm lucky!

Urgh, I feared this... I really hope the rumour of the june opening is untrue, since that would totally ruin my trip planned for may... They said they would start building after the main season is over...

^lol, mine is too! ^^I really hope it is a tophat... I heard they produce massive airtime... Mirabilandia so needs an airtime machine... Correction... This part of Europe so needs an airtime machine...

Wow, this is looking great! I can't wait to go there next year!
