Next on the list is Walibi Belgium. When is still the question, I let them first reopen Psyké Underground so I can get all the credits there.

I just read that they going to use a presorting system in the station. The next 28 persons will be brought into a separate room in the queue, where they get some extra explanation about the metro of Psyké. As the previous rides will fly backwards through the station (say where the video up here starts) they can take place at the gates. When the train is unloaded and loaded again you'll see a small (funny) video before launching. I must say this sounds really good, I like that they want to do more then just the ride and add a whole experience around the ride. Source in Dutch.

Love that they kept the Flywheel and use it as theming. I say close up that last tunnel and open it. I mean they have 1 week for a June opening like planed. I'm looking forward to ride this ride this year.

^^ I would definitely think that way more YOLO then a backwards launch.

^ The coaster is near Scream. Scream is like the trade mark of the theme area. A bat like Winged coaster sound like a good idea to me. I think they can make an other awesome train with that.

How's construction work on the whole thing? I know they're testing but on the video of June 9th I saw a lot of dirt in the background. I'm looking forward to the reviews.

I know It's not the thread for it, but what's so special about it? (I never been there so I honestly don't now) ^ I don't think it will flip back during the fall. My guess is they intend to let you face until you're almost completely down (So when the train is completely slowed down.)

^^ I watched a full announcement of Falcon's fury in which the park says it is the tallest free standing drop tower. I think the logo is as brilliant as the concept. I'm going to love it with my fear of heights (I won't let it scare me away.)

Love this concept I would totally try it out when I visit the park in the future.

How I get there statement I think it undergoes re-track. Personal advice for it are perhaps new trains. If they take away the 2X3 and replace it with the much more flexible 2X1 (gravity group or GCI) you can improve the ride already (off coarse new trains and re-track). That's what I would recommend for the bandit. But I guess they keep it with a re-track. ^ That improves every wooden coaster.

With the pictures of the track I'm 99.9% sure we're It's going to be a Wingrider. Look at DJeXel post, that piece that's spotted on site is exactly the the same as Gatekeeper's. Also the brakes give me the idea, as they are much further away from the track then usual. That matches the bigger wheel of the Wingrides. If it is indeed a Wingrider then I wonder how trains are going to look like. Merlin has proven to theme their Wingrider trains well, Raptor at Gardaland and Swarm at Thorpe are still my two favorite Wingrider trains.

^ I've been busy mapping the footers, so far it looks like this: Very odd placement so far I can't really say where they're going at here. Could be a big ride looking at the footers. 750 meters would it join the small ones and 900 meter X-flight and Wild Eagle.

^ I don't mind having 4 coasters in the same colors, but they are all so close to each other that becomes really boring.

First supports of the 2014 roller coaster are on site. Wait are those? Yes they are B&M supports. Nice dark green B&M supports. update track: White track and dark green support? Wait I've seen this before. 1 more picture. I definitely have seen this combination before like 3 times close by it. Source and more pictures. This confirms the rumors of a B&M and I'm still saying it's a Wingrider.

^ Talk about a great angle. The coaster looks so great, I can only imagine how it feels down in that pit with the coaster going over your head.

I really hope I can make it down to England this year to ride The Smiler, so I can experience the Smiler myself and find out if it's as good as the reviews say it is.

I'm really happy to hear it's finaly open. Can't wait for the reviews. The "deuling" looks awesome.

Two big developments on site today. 1: Fences removed from entrance. Also according to Towers Times members the person in front of the entrance says that they are just finishing up for the opening Tomorrow. Towers Times member J_Baggie. 2: The Smiler is added to the big queue board, although it still says closed it supports the claims that it could open tomorrow. Towers Times member Lexie. No official source has confirmed that the ride indeed opens tomorrow, so don't get to exited yet. But recent developments give the hint it's going to open soon.

^ I would say 3 at the same time with the second movie(?) being twice as long as the first. So group A enters scene 1 watch something go to scene 2, Group B comes in scene 1 watch the same thing and take place in the other side as group A is still watching. Group A leaves and Group C takes their place as B is still watching scene 2. After B leaves D takes their place as C still occupies the other screen. You get the point from here. *Note: Scene 1 are the 3 strips in the bigger room next to each other. Scene 2 are the two halve circled giant screens with the 3 places in front of it.

Looking at the station footer I guess we going to have a B&M Wing Rider here. It has only 1 line of footers, which makes me think the track isn't inverted within the station area. Since B&M Flyers have inverted station track this is more likely to be a Wing Rider. I do think it was better if it was a flying because we only have one here in Europe and that one is in England. O well still looking forward to it.

^ Not exactly as the ride was meant to open Thursday so a week delay means May 30th.

http://www.altontowers.com/the-smiler-faqs/ This isn't looking good. I can confirm there is a crane on site but no action. Also today all path ways to X-sector are closed (meaning Oblivion, Enterprise and Submission are closed too). I'm starting to think this may be a big problem, If Alton Towers just can tell us what is wrong.

Talk about expanding, Springfield this year next year Diagon Ally. I always loved to have a Duff beer.

That is really good. Great work thanks for sharing this.

This isn't going to help also: Towersstreet Facebook. The queuing fences still aren't completely up yet. O Alton doing a good job there. I bet a opening next week like this.
