If it is a launched spinning coaster it will at least use the same track work and technology as Blue Fire, not to mention the spinning cars they tested on Blue Fire would likely be a part of it.

Six in total. 1/1 in Denmark 3/4 in Germany 2/62 in the U.S

I would say expect it to be closed, see it as an added bonus if it is open. Like Jew said, soft openings are a crapshoot.

I don't think Disney would build an E-ticket with super-low capacity, especially in a park with few rides to begin with.

Any updates on the buildings that burned down last fall? Will they be rebuilt in time?

As I said those are very old pictures. Highly unlikely they represent the final product.

Doesn't look like it's running on full speed yet.

^ Since it supposedly has the same restraint system as Taron the same height requirement makes sense.

I don't know if that's how the trains will look like, I've seen those images on Google for a while.

I remember having trouble with the finger scanners near The Mummy when I last visited Orlando in 2009. Had to call up a staff member and describe the contents in the locker so he would open it with a key.

This attraction poster for Hyperspace Mountain seems to confirm the new trains are debuting with the overlay. Original trains for comparison:

Better view of the front car including the logo Bit of trivia, the 1701-D marking means this train at least is based on the Enterprise seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Wonder if the other trains will have different markings.

Turbo Track (Intamin shuttle) set to open March 27th, new driving simulator set to open in February, Mission Ferrari and a new attraction that will "go beyond Ferrari World boundaries" opening in summer, more family attractions coming in 2018 http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/leisure/new-thrill-to-open-in-abu-dhabi-in-march-1.1966153 New thrill to open in Abu Dhabi in March Published: 19:38 January 22, 2017 Gulf News Sarvy Geranpayeh, Staff Reporter A new rollercoaster will be opening at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi on March 27, developer Miral announced on Sunday. “Turbo Track will open on 27th March. The ride’s tack is 180 metres and it will travel at speed of around 102 km/hr. Almost 600 tonnes of steel has been used on this track,” Mohammad Abdullah Al Zaabi, the Miral CEO told Gulf News. “What I like about Turbo Track is that it’s the first ride [at Ferrari World] where you start inside, then you go all the way through a tunnel, then it takes you outside, it twists, and goes to height of about 62 meters, it will stop there for about two or three seconds with a nice view of Yas Island and the red roof [Ferrari World’s roof] and you come back,” Al Zaabi explained. Al Zaabi added the ride is designed with both front facing and rear-facing seats to offer guests two unique experiences and it also includes a free fall sensation for riders. The complexity of the ride’s infrastructure, which travels through a new tunnel and the theme park’s existing glass funnel roof, at one point had the design team and the developer doubt whether it could be built. Al Zaabi said the requirement to put a hole in the fragile funnel space frame structure had the team perplexed. “Innovation is very important to us. Engineering this tunnel and opening the funnel itself was mission impossible initially,” said Al Zaabi. Al Zaabi explained that every millimetre of the design had to be carefully calculated and reviewed and after consulting with engineers from around the world they finally reached a solution. “The engineering is really fabulous. Credit goes to the engineers and the team that worked on this.” The design team included Intamin Amusement Rides, rollercoaster specialists and creators of Formula Rosso and the Flying Aces, and AECOM, a global architectural and engineering firm. “If you want to do something unique and deliver a unique experience there is always a challenge. But now we are done and we are very happy” The other three attractions which are expected to open at the theme park this year include a Ferrari driving simulation planned to open in February, another “one of a kind” thrilling rollercoaster, and lastly an attraction that Al Zaabi said “will go beyond Ferrari World boundaries”, currently planned to open this summer. “Today I can call it an all new Ferrari World. We had 24 attractions when we first opened the park and we will have 39 attractions by the end of the year, and next year we will have 43 attractions overall.” Miral have invested around Dh700 million in the theme park’s expansion and 19 new attractions. Next year’s planned additions are mostly attractions for children. Al Zaabi reiterated Miral’s goal to double the number of visitors to Yas Island from 24 million to 48 million by 2022 as part of Abu Dhabi’s vision to establish the emirate as a global tourism club with unique attractions and world class tourism. In 2016 Miral announced plans to open a number of mega attractions on Yas Island including CLYMB, which will have the world’s widest indoor skydiving centre set to open in 2018, a Warner Bros theme park which is also planned to open in 2018 and Sea World Abu Dhabi by 2022. “This is all under the main goal of diversifying Abu Dhabi economy and invest more in the tourism industry.” Al Zaabi said that although the number of visitors to Yas Island for 2016 was not yet confirmed, early indications suggest that the figure had increased by about nice per cent from the previous year.

It's not unprecedented, although it wasn't on a wooden coaster. I don't know if GCI's restraint system would be up to the task though.

What's even happening here? It's like they're trying to snap together two pieces that obviously doesn't fit.

As long as that doesn't increase the length of the time you're stuck in the lift (especially the post-drop part as the soundtrack is timed to the lift) I'm down with it.

I don't even know what there is to complain about, an art festival is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect to see at Epcot given that it's practically a giant museum with some rides thrown in, and it's a celebration of human achievement. If it was Animal Kingdom it'd be a bit more questionable (unless the theme is nature art) but Epcot? Not at all.

I don't know if the exact same applies to theme parks but Germany has laws regulating shop hours.

TDS has always had a coaster. https://rcdb.com/1501.htm
