Ledgy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 In Germany it´s not available, too. It seems you can only get this Compilation in Italy or maybe only at the park?

matteocrepaldi Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Right now it's really hard to tell if it will have a splash and where it will be located because the webcam doesn't work and there's no way to take a look inside the park. I hope Gardaland can provide a new construction update soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I think if there is one, it'll be after the air-time hill/brakes. The banking is most like Manta's splash and it's close to the ground and in close to non riders. Also, the concept art shows it after that element.

DJeXeL Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Wow that's awesome! Love the way the themeing interacts with the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 In the far left hand front seats that is going to be one hell of a leg chopper effect!!! The themeing on this looks utterly gorgeous, I can only hope Merlin put the same effort into the Thorpe Wingrider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Of Spades Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 In the far left hand front seats that is going to be one hell of a leg chopper effect!!! No kidding! Actually, seems that the right side will get an equal effect from the supports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjune4991 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Now that's some awesome scenery for that inline twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguy21 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Never seen scenery that interacts so well with the track and train brilliant work so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rturo Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Even though the scenery interacts with the ride in a cool way, I don't think you will be able to notice it in that in-line twist at all because the tower is exactly below the track. Reminds me of the way Tatsu goes around the tower, everyone thought it would be awesome, but when you ride, you just don't notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Another video of it testing surfaced, it seems like it's running a lot faster in the second half of the ride, than in the first video, so I'm assuming those trims where off?

robinschroder Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Today Gardaland sent out another e-mail to people on the Raptor mailing list. I'll summarise what Google Translate says: It explains that the course of the ride will be littered with obstacles such as the lookout tower that we've already seen a picture of, a tree which has been split in half, a bridge, fog and pillars. There will be wetlands, forests (with many felled trees) and rocks. The train is a ruthless predator - a winged Raptor that was woken from hibernation during the construction of the ride. It now wants revenge on humans and will abduct anyone who tries to tame it, dragging them on an extreme flight through devastated lands! The underground station is themed to an industrial government research laboratory. The ride opens on 1st April 2011, although there is an ongoing online competition (as has been mentioned here already) to be amongst the first 23 riders on a special preview on 31st March 2011.

matteocrepaldi Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm trying to be among those who will ride Raptor on the preview day but it's not easy. Also they restarted to update the webcam! Update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I wonder if that green part under the corner before the second inversion will be the water splash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerstlauer1 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I wonder if that green part under the corner before the second inversion will be the water splash! I can't really think of another location for the splash, and it also does looks like a small pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamoure Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 ^ ^ WOW U can see the train flys through the tower !! That will be an awesome ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayzle Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 This looks like it is going to be a very pretty coaster, but I'm not exactly excited for this. It just doesn't seem like much more than a glorified family coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Another video of it testing surfaced, it seems like it's running a lot faster in the second half of the ride, than in the first video, so I'm assuming those trims where off? What's with the National Treasure theme? lol I do like the roar it gives off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarTrekGeek Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 From Screamscape: 2011 - Raptor - (2/16/11) Gardaland has released an incredible new graphic to Screamscape showing off the frightening details to be found on the new Raptor coaster train. What is an even bigger surprise however is what seems to be a totally new restraint system from B&M to be used on the trains. It appers to be an OTS style system… but with a very open set of shoulder bars to give you a very open feeling. Lets hope that this is an accurate concept picture and not just the photoshop dream. The park has also sent in the storyline for the coaster, which involves Raptor as being an unknown winged creature awoken from an ancient slumber by the construction crews. “It is ferocious, merciless, enormous, fast, powerful, invincible... It kidnaps anyone trying to tame it by dragging them into an extreme flight through enormous arid forests and devastated lands. To make the experience even more extreme there will a long series of obstacles which will be avoided only at the last second.” “The starting point of RAPTOR will draw inspiration from a governmental industrial style research lab, located in the subsoil. The whole track will unravel in a setting devastated by the ferocious winged creature, in a surreal atmosphere, in an arid and deserted setting with swampy areas, destroyed forests, knocked down trees and rocks.” “The terrible flight of the unknown winged creature is teeming with ruins such as watchtower about to crumble, a tree broken in half, a bride with protection barriers... remains of the untameable fury of RAPTOR. The insane run will continue with an extraordinary nebulisation effect, a waterfall programmed to stop upon passage, grazing pillars which, in some points, become out-and-out obstacles for the track.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerstlauer1 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Awesome picture.. It looks like the restraints are Flyer-style, at least a little identical. So could this mean that the seats maybe would rotate forward during the ride, and then work as a flyer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
