They were always there. There was going to be a Eurofighter at F1X but I believe it was sold on to another park Dubaidave

Just noticed that the supports here seem very similar to the ones from the new Eurofighter at Fuji Q Heres the supports in Dubai and heres the supports from Japan

Thanks for this report. Its always great to see a park you know well from a different perspective. Dubaidave

I drove past again today and do think that the blue track is different to the gray. The blue track would fit the launched tower concept and the gray track the drifting coaster. It seems like the gray track is flat and the blue track is curvy. Can anyone tell if they are the same or different? Having looked at my photos again. What if there were in fact three coasters there? The blue tower coaster. The gray drifting, single track coaster and the also gray racing coaster? Just a thought but that would make sense having seen the artists impressions today Dubaidave

I called into the Dubailand sales office today, yes its still there, and there was a small section on the F1X park. Nothing much new but here you go. Dubaidave This looks like the drifting coaster an interesting one to finish with

It was supposed to open in 2009 then 2010. At present it stands half finished and has not been worked on for more than 1 year. Dubaidave

I did wonder if the blue track was part of the same coaster, or maybe perhaps the one in the tower in this pic?

I was at Motor City in dubai yesterday to watch a Go Kart race and noticed coaster track next door. So, of course, I went to investigate. Whats that over there? Looks like coaster track to me! lets go and have a look

Oh yes. Would completely agree with that. dubaidave

meh. Its been sld by a government company to the government? O M G ! ! ! what will happen now?

Ha ha. You beat me to it.

Yay for news crews using sound guys. Its the same here in dubai as well, thankfully. To be geeky, cant believe that he is dual micing her for a news standup. Yay Dubaidave

Am I allowed to play this game? Dubaidave

Hey man, Sorry I missed you. Loving the trip report Dubaidave

quick preview Dubaidave

I really will get around to it soon Dubaidave

Dont worru there will be plenty more coming soon. I will probably start a new thread for the main report. Just sifting through the hundreds of photos to get them ready. As for the Googles. You have to wear them in the front row and if you have contact lenses. In all but the front row the wind is fine becasue you have other cars infront od you. dubaidave

I am going to split this trip report into two parts. First I will start with Formula Rossa then do a full report of the whole park. This is the Formula Rossa Bit. This is the 3rd time I have ridden Rossa and the 1st time as a member of the general public. As we arrived at the park Rossa was not testing so we did start to panic a little, however, when we entered at 12 we were told it would not be running until 1PM. After a couple of other rides we got to Rossa about 1.15. We qued around 25 mins in the VIP que line. Strangely the normal que was shorter than VIP. So, onto the ride itself. I love this coaster it delivers all the way. the launch is amazing. It gets faster and faster and faster still. The acceleration seems to go on forever. It does noticeably slow down on the first hill due to the trims, but, it still gives a great pop of airtime and you still seem to fly over it. the vast sweeping turns are still taken with enough speed that it feels like you are going very fast indeed. This is accentuated more by the track being close to the ground. After a couple more hills and low sweeping turns its back to the station over a couple of bunny hops, which do give airtime in the middle of the train, and its over. I love this ride. I have never ridden anything like it in my life. It is Fast, Smooth and has a fair amount of airtime. Of course I could be biased so I asked the poeple I was with, non coaster enthusiasts, about the ride and the airtime. They thought it was amazing and did have airtime. I have also spent a lot of time in the station interviewing riders as they come off and not one person has had anything bad to say about this ride. Heres a few pics Oh Oh. Not testing Here We Go Its looking quiet the VIP line was longer than the standard line There it is cooling off they go We see you train 2 Nearly there And Finally. Worlds Fastest Coaster, Through the fountain/.

Oh no. Double post again. I think it would be great to build a coaster that is so fast that it doesn't need to be trimmed and actually kills people on the first hill. There's one for the fanboys to try.

Love the Snuffleupagus. There will be a special Snuffleupagus. Ptr soon Dubaidave

Sorry to double post. But yeah. I've ridden it three times now and have experienced airtime on all the hills. Maybe I was mistaken And should bow down to those who have seen the pov and not ridden it. Dubaidave

I'm sure you will do this anyway, but please create a separate thread for you Photo TR. We don't want to see ypur first hand account buried. Don't worry. I don't want anyone to miss what I have to say! Dubaidave

How cool to hear people bitching about a coaster I have actually ridden rather than hear bitching about a coaster I have not ridden and would probably never ride. Keep up the good work guys. Dubaidave Ps. Trip report coming soon
