Good to see the inner wheel will be tuning. Looking good.

The first turning wheel is being attached to the lift hill.

This man is staying here for the rest of his life, turning the wheel, he will be fed every evening, and will be provided with a pillow and sleeping bag for the night :

And its up.

[Sven]

One is up, one to go. I love the amount of detail on this project and I'm looking forward to the other details they wil put on the tower.

 

 

Video recordings for the making of videos. Left is the designer of Baron 1898.

I love how all the theming details the drawings showed are actually getting built. Looking really nice.

[KarlaKoaster]

This is looking like a really fun coaster. I guess the jury is out as to how good it will be once you leave the station, but there's no doubt that those holding the bags are in for a treat because the area around the ride is looking brilliant with the landscaping coming together, the beautiful station and of course the lift structure. I love the colour of the supports and track too.... very classy

It's So BEAUTIFUL!!!

[BintamiM]

This ride looks absolutely beautiful.

[Max.schollen]

I can't get over how gorgeous this thing is! There aren't too many examples of lift supports themed this well, but it's really making me wish there were.

[DJeXeL]

Looking fantastic!

 

This makes me sad to live in the US.

 

[hey...hey]

AGREE...this things looks spectacular. From the theming, design, and the color choice, this has to be one of the best pieces of rollercoaster eye candy.

[Sven]

They removed some fences today.

 

Outdoor queue

 

More greenery

 

Finishing more details on the tower.

Hot damn, that is some gorgeous theming. Love the colour scheme as well.

[ZeroGravity55]

I just now realized this, but that helix is a very miniature version of the turnaround on Fury 325.

[VF15]

I have to say, they're really going above and beyond with the theming. It's some of the best I've seen on a non-Disney/Universal coaster. Looking forward to seeing what the finished product looks like.

[I305forever]

None of this ride is themed but the station and lift hill. Just saying.

[Paradox]

^Well with the amount of effort put into just those things the ride feels complete.

[A.J.]

None of this ride is themed but the station and lift hill. Just saying.

That's because the "ride" is only part of the complete themed experience. The story will likely develop and progress as guests move through the queue and the shows, and then it will probably climax at the drop into the mine shaft. The ride vehicles are what will continue to carry Baron's story throughout the layout of the coaster.

None of this ride is themed but the station and lift hill. Just saying.

Nor are Dragon Challenge, Hulk, or Fligh Of the Hippogriff. Only Disney has 100% themed coasters.

I don't know, Nemesis and Black Mamba seem to be wholly themed as well.

[KingRCT3]

Oh yeah sure. What was I thinking again...

 

Anyways, Baron looks great, and it's what that matters the most in this thread. Any idea on when the testing will begin?
