Update friday 20 april 2007 The triple-crossover is nearly done, the little turn from the brakes to the station and the prelift 'S' are also allmost done. The marked some things around the station area and the entrance towers are getting some foundation. -

i have the same feeling Rene, i've seen Troy being build up from the ground up and in that way, i still haven't realised how 'big' Troy is going to be, and i don't only mean that in the literal way. Somehow i have the feeling i'll pass out for a few days when i really realise the awesomeness of Troy, which if it weren't for some trees i could see from my house -

That's the one I got the medal on... There's not much pumping at all, and the loop isn't slow.. do you have improved friction on? The loop is like that for floater to cause negatives at the top, I don't see what you're talking about haha. W/e. loops aren't supposed to have floaters, the vertical G's should stay above +1 at all times to have proper loop

It's friday again and time for another update, They guys have started the first drop, and although they have only put up several legs, the drop is already quite steep and banking is also around 45 degrees or so. The pic's: -

it is right, from the original layout those things have changed: 1. The crossover under the lifthill have been replace in the direction of the station (north) and so the crossover is no longer under but next to the lifthill. Under the lifthill the tracks run parallel 2. The twisty ending after the helix has been replaced with something very straight, possibly slow-down brakes -

Well, i just prefer the old ones, IMO they just go with the coaster, deep and closed cars. It's still a vekoma and on the old ones i at least didn't hurt my back -

^have to disagree on the python trains, IMO they look ugly. Sure they've got a snake texture, but they look ugly. They are also very uncomfortable and i'm getting no less headbanging then before. I just wish they put the old ones back on -

The guys are making progress with the parallell turns that'll go under the lift, allmost at the point where they cross-over. Also they have continued placing the 'ties' and 'catwalks' on the places where they didn't have those things 9 pics: -

Yep, so true. La Via Volta already looks like scrap metal and so does Xpress. They really need to repaint Xpress this year. Goliath also showed some rust colleration here and there. Hopefully WW uses the extra money for maintenance. Lately Goliath also made a loud bang, just before ascending the lift hill (did somebody else notice?). They should fix that too. isn't that just the cable car hooking onto the train? -

for some reason, in holland, the air is filled with airplanes whereever you look, at day, huge lines of cloud and in the night the indicator lights. You get used to it
