SFOGdude25 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Not gonna lie. I laughed a lot when I when I saw that train design. It looks a little outlandish, but still pretty awesome haha.
Stu K Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 corkscrew with those lap bars i'm in lol! that's my birthday sorted lol! Stu K
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Nice concept, kind of funny actually. Picture him looking like a flying snake with his head up like a chicken...
larrygator Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 The ride will be named "The Cú Chulainn Coaster", after an Irish folk hero. CuChuCo - Done!
andybarnes84 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 10/10 for effort at least Lets just hope they haven't themed the rear

neovortex2k Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 HHmm yes that is a bit weird. However Ireland has so much Irish folklore (Cú Chulainn being one of the more famous so it's perfect for its first wooden coaster) that his is a great jumping off point for more themed rides.
BlahBlahson Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I can think of when I see that train design.
DonGeorge Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I can think of when I see that train design. "Hi there. I'm Cú Chulainn, Prince of Eternia."
BDG Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Coming along nicely. Opens in "summer". photo: Tayto Park
Dar Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) They've announced on the radio that it opens May 20th! Edited April 5, 2015 by larrygator
StealthFan Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 ^That seems like a pretty tight time frame to get the ride finished by from the construction pictures I have seen recently, plus factoring in testing it will be interesting to see if they make the date. Good luck to the park in getting it open in time though and I'm sure this will do some great business for them.
Dar Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) ECC confirmed that it won't open then. No new date was provided. Edited April 5, 2015 by robbalvey
StealthFan Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 ^That doesn't surprise me at all. If I was to take a wild stab in the dark and guess when this will open I would put my money on late June/early July but who knows. I'm sure the park are just as eager to get this open as we are to ride it.
_koppen Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Not really a fan of the layout, but I would love to be surprised on a future visit!
linearinduction Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Not really a fan of the layout, but I would love to be surprised on a future visit!I Can hardly wait to ride it in August!

rcjp Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Looking great. It seems that the layout is kept relatively close to the ground most of the time. Should mean some nice speed.
Nrthwnd Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I would call it a "sleek design" for this coaster. Looks sweet. Speed should be great.
leqant Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 From Tatyo Park's facebook: That's right!!..Strap in.. The Cù Chulainn Coaster is opening June 5th!! #TPRollerCoaster
StripeyMiata Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Was up there yesterday and took some pics. I'm no expert but gonna be tight for a 5th June opening by the looks of it.
Gutterflower Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Don't think this has been posted here yet but here's an awesome aerial image from a little while back. Gives a good idea of the overall layout.
