Has anyone here access to growthspotter.com? There is a new article (28th of March) about this project, but I do not want to spend $40 only to read one article... Link: Structural design & layout continue evolving for Skyplex plan Are there any new informations?

I think you won't judge the same way if you had seen the construction site in person. This will be the first family boomerang with a tunnel, a lot of theming and interaction with another coaster (headchopper moments everywhere). Raik will be the biggest installation compared to all other family boomerangs. Beside the other versions this one is also the first one which has additional friction wheels on the return spike (so the backwards part is expected to be faster than on the existing models).

A friend of mine built the coaster with NL2 He has created two videos of the ride! Offride: Onride:

First onride video of the reverse freefall inside the tower http://www.sat1regional.de/aktuell/article/nervenkitzel-pur-in-sierksdorf-steht-deutschlands-hoechste-achterbahn-178247.html

I love the new TV spots for the 40th anniversary

Finally the track is complete, they assembled the last track section this morning Pictures of the official construction blog: 3 pictures of the completed layout, only some bolts are missing... Crazy support structure - The Ride source source

Some new pictures Assembling of the first overbanked turn Only 2 more track sections till the completion. That overbanked turn and the transitions into the next overbanked turn are stunning! All 3 trains are now on track! Whole train Front design Details Back design Source Source

The heart shaped element is near its completion most complex support structure I've ever seen most complex support structure I've ever seen from the distance (one side of the heart is clearly visible) staight up in the air the support tower of the entrance to the element is nearly finished transition while the upwards part looks fabulous The park builds its monument for the next decades source

There is also an english version of this sign source

The sales manager of yas island confirmed at the ITB (the world's leading travel trade show) that they are working on 7 new attractions over the next 18 month Starting at 4:20

Erwin Heider, the head of the electrical and control engineering of Gerstlauer Amusement Rides, confirmed in an interview on the german radio station "Bayern 1" (Bavaria 1) that they are currently working on a new project for a new outlet mall near New York. The indoor coaster will be 1000 m (3,280 ft) long! The customer will invest a total amount of 15 mil. € (approx. 20.4 mio. $) Here is the link to the interview (for all the german speaking guys): www.br.de This project maybe belongs to the outlet and ferris wheel project on staten island, in this case, the coaster will be built in the Empire Outlet!

Jep "It is big. It is fast. It comes closer and closer and closer First of its kind in Germany (2014)!" A new big rollercoaster? Maybe a flying coaster
