Official footage! Includes an onride of the first drop, which looks absolutely terrifying.

Rapscallion. Now there's a sweet name for a coaster. RCS really firing on all cylinders now. People for scale: Cobra roll: Station area: source & more: Themepark Magic

Track!!! The color is dark green. Which is quite unexpected, as all artwork and renders showed a red coaster. Two more photos taken this evening, showing double-spine track: photo: Emil Sempels & Floflo at coastersworld

Oh man, that lift is incredible. /moves the park up on the bucket list

The park has finally found a new theme for its SLC. Only took them 16 seasons. The ride will be themed to Lucky Luke from next season, and has already been repainted over the past few months. You thought Candymonium looked sweet? source:

Oof, that's pretty extreme.

You're all too kind. Waaay too kind.

I'm guessing they had some sort of windguard over the microphone up until that point... then it flew off. Looks like a pretty sweet ride. Very fast. Relentless. Totally different from Diamondback.

Using this screenshot, I made a couple quick edits which should help all of you understand this confusing area. Let's start with Rookburgh as a whole. This is all brand new: This belongs to the hotel: To give you a sense of scale: Now let's take a look at the coaster. From what we know, there will be separate load and unload stations, and there's also a short lifthill. Oh, and in case you forgot, the seats on this ride can rotate. You'll board the train seated upright like in a normal coaster, with the track behind your back. As the train starts to move, you'll basically be going sideways. At the top of the lifthill, the seats rotate 90° to align you with the track. Fellow member MrRC made a NoLimits animation of this (link): Here's where all of this is hidden away. The station is underground, the lifthill is enclosed: Then you're launched into the first half of the ride. Notable elements: - launch - overbank - zero-g roll - fly under the railroad drawbridge - fly through the balloon storage - fly over the area in a large figure 8 shape The second half starts with an underground launch, and is considerably more hidden. Notable elements: - underground launch - steep uphill - overbank over the restaurant - tight helix - zero-g roll over the restaurant
