Prettyslr Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The vikings certainly know how to cram as many coasters as possible into a tiny space. I plan on visiting in July an and can't wait. Does anybody have tips on stuff like cheap/good food in the area, or what is a "must do"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakizle Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks for that picture! For the first time I can finally follow the layout completely. Yeah...I still can't do this. lol It's actually not that hard. It basically goes down the drop, over the hill, through the far turnaround over the inverted track, then comes towards the Himalaya(?) building, then dives back down under the inverted track and comes back up right in front of Jetline's train. Then it dives into the turn under the lift (the outside turn), goes up the double up, then drops under the turnaround near the Himalaya(?) building. It then does the left, right left s-curve turns then dives under the lift again on the inside track of the diving turn, which goes to the brake run. Just watching the NL video and it should all make sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 That looks so delightfully twisted. I like how they're going with white supports and red handrails for a classic look that isn't so common nowadays. I wasn't sure if white would look good on steel woodie supports, but it certainly does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottBrown Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 ^^ not to mention, one of the more famous coasters, The Crystal Beach Cyclone had steel supports. And I believe an even more famous coaster The Coney Island Cyclone does as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Are those just the insides of the lapbars, or is that how they're going to look? Because they look so much better than the original Timberliner lapbars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they look so much better than the original Timberliner lapbars! If you look closely, there is no padding on them, I would imagine the padding will be added later, making them look the same as the ones on Voyage.

jedimaster1227 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks to the Gravity Group for sharing these with us! Panorama of Twister from the top of the lift hill. Can you figure out the path of this twisted track? Airtime! Bright red Timberliners are being lifted onto their new home track. Here's a view of Twister's lift hill as a car from the Wild Maus wisks by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I find it very RCT3ish with the headlight on the lead car but it looks good otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
