Machtin Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 There's still a lot to be done, but at least they've begun painting now. Lots of new concrete as well, the buildings begin to take shape. Some points are so narrow, I still wonder how this is supposed to work without any legs chopped off. Pics: http://www.turbolaaf.nl/nieuwforum/viewtopic.php?p=6552#6552

Pics: http://www.turbolaaf.nl/nieuwforum/viewtopic.php?p=6552#6552 Jup I was there today and seems that someone else had placed the link to my pictures Anyway not much has changed but its still something that is great to see every day. The biggest changes are the main building that has some more paint and some more concrete on diffrent points of the construction site. The Chinese guys where still working hard to get the theming done. I think that next weekend there will be more parts under a roof (helix etc).
s2pids2 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 wow...I've been busy working my butt of for a week, so this is great to come back to. Thanks for the new pics! It's progressing quite quickly!
robbalvey Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Has anyone seen some of these new shots posted to www.onride.de OMG! Check out this link: http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=20750&start=191 And here's a couple of the pics: Go check out the rest of the photos here: http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=20750&start=191 DO IT NOW!!!!!! --Robb
Hattuchili Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Yes, I have seen these pictures! It looks really nice and I like the color for the building! --Sören
CoasterCrazy Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Those pictures are awesome! I can't wait to see what the coaster is going to look like when it is finished!
robinschroder Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Wow! Black Mamba just gets better and better! It's like around every turn there's another 'whoaahh - i'm about to slam into that wall / tunnel / building' moment! I've got to get over to ride it this year when it opens - just imagine what the front seat will be like! It's funny - I know it has 4 inversions - but those pictures deceptively make it look like it has so many more!
Nrthwnd Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Yummy. Looks better and better with each posting of pix, lol. Can't wait to see it when it's finished, with the landscaping done, etc.
s2pids2 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks for the additional pics Robb, I've been to busy lately to scavenge around for any new ones. By the way, are they themeing the ride with props from IKEA?
verticalzero Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Are there any pic's of the layout..? Any CGI POV yet..!!
Shockwave Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 So this is why the ride will look awesome! Those are some great photos - I'm really looking forward to August now!
s2pids2 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 ^I always thought IKEA was like an amusement park anyways. isn't it ironic?
Machtin Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 The construction site gets a lot busier now. They've rebuilt the scaffolding, you see construction workers about everywhere, and best of all: The helix of death at the end is going to be indoor! New, breathtaking photos at: http://freizeitparkweb.de/cgi-bin/dcf/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=2805&forum=DCForumID1
s2pids2 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 it's so beautifull!! that helix of death is going to be so much fun! thanks for the link!
WildMouse Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Yummy stuff. I'm really enjoying following the construction process, but like others I can't wait to see (and ride) the finished article. Out of all the 'new' coasters I'll be experiencing this year, Black Mamba is my most anticipated.
coasterfreak101 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 This thing look AMAZING!!! I thought that all of it was to be indoors? I thought of a new game to play: How many Nemesis vs. Black Mamba threads will pop up on the Internet over the first month of Black Mamba operation? !
s2pids2 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I dont think people really realize how great this ride is going to be. I mean, imagine being able to walk around almost 70% of the coaster layout and see the ride zooming under your feet while you purchase a t-shirt?! I think these pictures say it all! chaos. a tight squeeze.
DerekRx Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Wow, this just keeps looking better and better! I'm really looking forward to riding this, even more than Winjas. I just can't wait to see how themed the whole area will be, it may put Nemesis to shame, which is hard to do!
coasterguy618 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 It looks great! I think that Black Mamba and The Patriot sould trade places. THat would be sweet. BTW, what's up with that random concrete monkey??
s2pids2 Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 ^ it must tie in with the whole African theme that is has going on.
Shockwave Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I can't help but thinking this is going to be the best inverted coaster ever built. But the more it gets hyped up, the greater the fall from grace will be if it turns out to be a let-down.
redunzelizer Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Yet more construction site messiness from 4th of March. Who else dares to think that these impressions suggest an opening within this century already? http://www.achterbahn.org/index.php?page=792208428&f=1&i=792208428 plus some more impressions: http://tinyurl.com/jgjrn
Machtin Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Finally, Phantasialand has released a website for the coaster gem: http://www.deepinafrica.de/ No new information at all, but at least they do have a webcam and a sweepstake, better than nothing. For a bigger photo of the webcam click here
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Wow! If it turns out anything like the artist impressions. This is going to be the best Invert ever! Guy "It seems that it's taking a long time to build." Koepp
Hattuchili Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 What a great site! It looks all very nice and I sounds like a great experience! To sad I can not ride it this year, but I am sure I´ll be back at the Phantasialand in 2007! --Sören
