Great use of space. A compact coaster that still feels very open as it looks like now. That Banked Top-hat looks very tall like this.

^^ Would be awesome if it's true, This park is literally building all there big rides in a row. I can imagen how the mangers office is over there, "Okay our next big ride will be Taron and will come here and will cost blah blah blah." "but sir we're not done with Chiapas yet." 2 years latter. "Okay time for the next big thing." "Like we're done with Taron." Progress is good, so I welcome this with open arms. Too bad Race for Atlantis will have to clear then, not my favorite ride at all, but if they change the theme, a new movie, and normal previews then this ride would have had potential again. It's unique in these area's. But this is one of the oldest rides in the park, so it would not surprise me when it's gone.

So had a moment of embarrassment not long ago. Was at my local park the Efteling and wanted a quick ride on the fairly new Baron 1898, so like always I run to it, and got first in line for the single rider line. When I was inside the building something happened (heat change, empty stomach I still don't know.) And I fainted before getting to the station. I felt really embarrassed after coming back in back room area needing to convince a ride op I was alright after "waking up". Felt even more embarrassed by hading to take the wheelchair lift to leave the building. That said the ride op handled the situation really good, yeah it was embarrassing to me but he did his job as he should.

Looks awesome, Don't like the name they gave it, too plain. Oh right not discussed here, they released a snapchat video releasing the elements name, Banked Top-Hat. If they included food I would have gone banana's over it.

^ rcdb.com On this picture shows that the cover is slightly above knee hight, the spinners and this train have the clearance from that point on, meaning the trains are just as safe. And previous examples (with Shin bar) have completely open fronts, meaning it's safer in all points, inversions where in no way responsible for the shin bars the train design did.

Then I have 2 things: 1: That would make any inverted coaster unsafe, because yes we're locked in but if I stretch my feet (wich I can because no Shin bar) I touch the car in front of me wich is turning individually. 2: There is a cover on these trains on each front end ( and back since it's spinner) wich would make these trains just as safe as Blue Fire Megacoaster trains are. I'm just not seeing that problem, sorry.

Why that? Because it's spinner trains? Or because lap-bars? Because both arguments are kind off invalid considering it's a done that been there deal. I do not mean to talk you down but just an observation. By the way I don't believe these are the trains we're looking for, because they seem to be train based not single car based.

Saw the Ride is correct your turn.

^No.

Alright the next one.

Great commercial, great progress.

Balder Liseberg? Random guess.

Guy's just back from the movie of 2015: STAR WARS VII The Force Awakens. Loved it and I'm sure many will, It really had that OT vibe but it's a brand new story that lies before us now. Already hoping VIII and IX are going to be the same. Can't wait for 2017 when VIII arrives. It's hard to review this movie without Spoilers, but I say this Kylo Ren, Rey and Finn where the most interesting characters and those of this trio that survived (Could be all could be 2 could be 1 could be nobody, just watch the movie ) I look forward to see more of them. The Force is strong is this movie. Once more the STAR WARS will rule the cinema's.

I'm more up for Thor with Pégase a close second. Thor just get my edge because it's extremely hard for a European mainlander to ride a flying coaster, I've been trying to schedule a trip to Alton for years but I either have to cancel it or other more easy to get parks make me skip it that year. So a B&M Flying on the mainland would make for a good excuse to get over there.

^Not yet but hey anything can happen right? But then again they also promised a outside entrance for 2014 we never saw. Hope they don't canceled the Mega coaster they announced, and with the Efteling in 2015 and Walibi in 2016 getting great rides they should keep to at least that, oh well.

Found more pictures of the weird Element, also some claims: Source (Looopings.nl/Pretparkfans.nl) (Picture didn't work on the original source anymore so made a link to a source that does and reference the origin.) Some claims of them: -74 track pieces make for a 740 meter long ride. Long brake for the end. -Airtime hill after the drop. -There is a straight piece that could get some catwalk, plus low supports make for possible launch (Would be nice) -Brakes the same as Blue Fire. Don't know what's true but thought it sound interesting.

Just a question, what could become obstacles for this project that could end it up in a thrash bin now? We know it's: -Fully funded -and locally approved. Or is it now just waiting for the day the shovel goes into the dirt? Just curious that's all.

Is it bad for me that I really wish Toverland is also watching this and brings in a big ride in 2017. Then we had 3 years of awesome coasters here in the Netherlands, last year the Efteling and this is also going to be great by the looks of it.

These images where the first time I got exited for this project, that drop looks phenomenal. Happy this gets made in the Netherlands.

I thought up a weird unlikely thing, what if Universal hoped Skyplex would be approved. Hang in here with me, in a way this made news on a worldwide bassis. Basically the whole world now know they have future plans to expend in a area near the park, they also been big news these past few days by fighting a project that would only attract more people. This was more publicity then if they just spend a 10 million or so into SkyPlex. Like I said it's unlikely but would explain the really bad poster they spread.

let's hope this is just the final wall that stood in their way for them to break the ground.

Got high hopes this battle is won by Skyplex, let's hope Universal realizes the stupidity they left here and let it be build.

It's a lot of support for this project, Let's hope they get the memo.

I like that kid they should listen to him. Thanks for the link this is exiting.

So I watched this video again (Obviously and it won't be the last time I'm sure ). But am I correct for counting 9 inversions? Really insane.
