matteocrepaldi Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 More supports have been erected! Looks like supports for one of the inversions. Can't wait to see an update from the webcam. Here's a picture from yesterday. The rest of the images is here: LINK!!!
Lamoure Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Zero - G - Roll in the house !! I'm so excited about the new trains !

matteocrepaldi Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 ^That's the last piece of track before the brake run. I really hope they update the webcam soon. It has been more than a week since last update.
Lamoure Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 So, they didn't updated the webcam, but the "Halloween 2010 Park map" (I think it's a news ) Here you can see where X-Raptor is been built soon. It's a pretty big constructionyard (60 tennis courts) and at the official Webcam now a Raptoreye arrives and there are new Dinosaur sounds. This gonna be awesome! map2011.bmp Map2010/2011
ThemeParks-US Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 It looks a little bit like the Manta ride at SeaWorld? But still looks impressive and definitely worth a try!
matteocrepaldi Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Here's a close up of the updated webcam image. As you can see nothing big has happened since the weekend but I'm still very happy to see that they have changed the image. I hope to see more track being placed soon. They are also working outside of the Inferis walk through which means that the coaster will pass above the Rio Bravo themed area which will be very awesome even for the people who will walk around the park. Ready for some 0-g awesomeness?!!!
coaster1000 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I have a feeling that this is the coaster we are going to see for Heide-Park, too. They (Heide) released some details about their ride, specifying a height of around 35 meters, an immelman and a "hill". The hill is already on this ride, they have erected supports for an immelman, all in all there seems to be too many similarities to call it an incident. The track type that is used here is very similar to that of Heide-Park. Also, the magnetic fin-sections are used in both cases. Thoughts?
ericm95 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 ^ No, correct me if I'm wrong, but Heide is getting a dive machine and this will be a 'prototype' from B&M.
coaster1000 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 ^ No, correct me if I'm wrong, but Heide is getting a dive machine and this will be a 'prototype' from B&M. Yes, it is listed as a Dive Machine. But all the features are the same. Could it be a new type of Dive Machine? The wing-walker style trains are somewhat similar in design. EDIT: Saw this pretty recent post on Screamscape. http://screamscape.com/html/heide-park.htm
crazywolf88 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I wonder how the water effect would work with the seats being so low to the bottom of the track and being that wherever they put the scoops the riders feet will be close to the water and have the risk of hitting it (not that a little water will hurt) and could harm people especially at the joints.
matteocrepaldi Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 They will probably use a Manta style type of splash.
Lamoure Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 ^Or they will let you "fly upside down" - head close to water and feet right in the air !!
ThemeParks-US Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I always like it when you get a hint of a splash in the face! Even if you don't actually get wet it always adds to the thrill. Did they release the potential opening date? Or just in 2011?
DBru Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 ^Or they will let you "fly upside down" - head close to water and feet right in the air !! HAHA! I actually had this same thought earlier today...but didn't post it to avoid looking stupid. So...thank you.
matteocrepaldi Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 And here's something to look at! Zero-g roll in place and lift pieces hill wating for their turn. As you can see the track from the zero-g roll comes right from the Rio Bravo area. This is getting really good!
themeparkman25 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Depending on how it exits that element (I can't tell), it almost looks like a dive loop more than a zgr. I wish I knew more about this coaster, or there was some kind of press release or something!
Mr. Starr Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I wish I knew more about this coaster, or there was some kind of press release or something! That's kind of what I like about it. All secretive, unlike other coasters in the U.S. that have their full layout released with simulated videos and such. Anyways, this looks like an awesome coaster!
BigDipper 80 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 ^ That's a big reason why this project and Texas Giant interest me more than any other 2011 project. We don't know all of the details yet, and it is more fun to watch it as it develops rather than have all of the secrets given away!
pj.frankophone Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 If you guys think this is secretive then I don't know what you make of Alton Towers' approach when they build new roller coasters. Oblivion in 1998 anyone? Definitely makes it more fun
jjune4991 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I really hope I can go to Gardaland when I'm in Italy next summer. This thing looks incredible.
matteocrepaldi Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Here comes the lift hill!!! It points towards the Flying Island. I really hope they make the drop all the way to Rio Bravo. They have also started to cover up the station which will be located underground. Lift hill!!!

John Peck Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 This takes me back to when they were building Stealth at Great America. No Layout, no real artwork... we just watched it go up piece by piece.
