^Looks fun. I hope it has that twisty, fast, out of control feeling.

Great looking trains too

New artwork.

 

Turns out the wooden coaster won't be the only new thing next season!

 

There will be also be a Zamperla Barnyard, a new food point and new toilets.

And the park's existing wild mouse coaster will be re-themed to fit the new area.

That whole area looks great in the concept art. I like that they're also adding theming to the existing wild mouse coaster.

I'm excited to see this mostly untalked about park get a small GG ride. Talk about bang for your buck. And those trains... meow!

^Certainly didn't take them very long. It fits in that area very nicely.

This looks like a great layout for the coaster... A really great fit for this park!

[BDG 2]

You might want to turn down your speakers for this one...

I had no idea this was even being built but the ride and entire area looks impressive. Nice to see this park getting a custom ride that is relatively thrilling too.

 

The wild mouse retheme would actually make me excited to ride another standard wild mouse.

Buildings and scenery coming along nicely...

The Barnyard arrived as well...

Looks great! The first drop looks steeper than I expected, should provide some nice thrills.

[RyanTPM 0]

And that's a kinda nice looking area around the ride too!

Looks hella twisty. I love that style.

The park has released a POV of Timber. Looks like a really fun, fast ride!

Wow! That looks a lot faster than I was expecting! Awesome!

LOVE! I want one in my backyard please.

Nice, for a smaller coaster it really does fly through the course and maintains great speed, looks fun!
