That's a shame! Dragon Khan's second half especially the Corkscrews looks insane. Finger crossed this would only be a temporary thing. I also noticed this but I will mention it in a moment. Just a few key points for the opening day: I went there with some of my schoolmates (who are not all exactly coaster enthusiasts) so I didn't do what I would have done if I was alone. We tried to hit all the main rides but had to leave at 5 p.m so all I got was one ride on each of the three big coasters, one ride on stampida (first time), one on tutuki splash and on sea odyssey (the simulator). So I didn't even try Angkor Our first ride was Furius Baco right at 10 a.m so there was virtually no line. When I realised I was going to have to sit in the back winged seat (as I always take those over the middle ones) I thought I was going to be shaken to death (especially after they added those weird pads to the restraints) but I was actually okay. In fact, more than okay as my head didn't really seem to hit the restraints (at least badly) at all but then I also felt that it wasn't quite running at full speed (probably because it was early). We then hit dragon khan, also with a small line. And now I can confirm that the MCBR was in fact braking the trains a lot more than when I first rode it in 2012. In that day (and, based on what people say, until now) you had to sit close to the back to actually hear the brakes although I couldn't really feel them. Yesterday there was significant trimming even though it still left the platform with some speed. I also noticed more weightlessness in the loops than had the other time, but then, once more, it was still early and maybe it wasn't running at full speed as I clearly remember, later in the day, noticing it went faster through the cobra roll. Still an awesome ride and still my favourite. After queueing for 1h30 min we got to ride shambhala and I have to say it felt quite a bit better than when it was two months old, with more sustained airtime and a slightly better pacing. I felt that the MCBR was also braking the trains more than last time as I remember feeling close to nothing back then. But this might have all been because while I managed to ride DK and shambhala 8 times on my first visit to the park in 2012 I only got 1 this time, and so I might have enjoyed the ride more because of that. Last ride of the day was stampida (blue side) and we lost No, seriously, I was expecting this ride to be awful and super rough but I actually got a great and really really fun ride in it. Okay, I know sat in the front and that might have influenced smoothness but there were still some nice pops of air and some serious laterals. A really pleasant surprise for me.

^^Thinking better, you may be right. I don't know about the number of characters but it is sort of strange that they would already know that it won't be possible to open it on opening day.

This is nothing compared to the 2015 attraction: [attachment=0]PAIN TRAIN!.jpg[/attachment] Watch two inverted coasters crash into each other by the hour! For $50 more when buying a ticket, you can RIDE the Pain Train. The PAIN TRAIN- the funnest way to commit suicide. Yeah but It's gonna be a B&M So It's gonna be tame, lame, and have little pain. Well only until you hit the other train!

Never having to experience pain again. What's better than never having any disease ever again?

^I would also be interested to see what RMC could do with Coaster Express at Parque Warner which hasn't had a big coaster being built since it opened.

^I wonder what the reason might be. Strange thing for a B&M.

^Oh! Of course! How stupid of mine.

^The colours look right.

Granted, but it would end up attacking you. (severely) I wish I lived in a bigger house.

Inverted

Thanks for the POV. What is the second one? I must have forgotten

^It's funny that once I was doing this activity which involved some courses on trees as well as zip lines and the buckle on the harness looked like that and I thought: this looks like intamin's buckles rather than the other way around.

^Once the leaves grow on the trees it will look epic!

^Or maybe, with so many ideas, one of them could have actually been correct. We'll see.

Nice! I thought that the track on the lift would be "simple" but apparently they have gone for the steel beam+track combination, probably to reduce the number of supports. Not much to go now

Well, at least there is one. The colours actually look better than I originally thought.

That should give some nice new views of superman.

^Yeah it doesn't look just quite the same thing but still impressive, and maybe it will speed up a bit as the trains get a few more miles and as the weather gets warmer,

A new duelling coaster! What would be better than Universal starting running dragon challenge simultaneously again?

^When I read the full sentence I got the idea right, but when I saw the first few words, I also immediately thought of a chain POV. That would be interesting

^I think I would just get a normal twisted one, like the mega lites. Anyway, looks like it will provide some serious air, especially on those last hills.

I like when there are both so that you get thrown all over the place!

Looking good. How long (more or less) will it be before the layout is completed?

^RMC anyone?
