Shavethewhales Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 The real life profile on this thing looks a lot better than the concept art. That's certainly been a trend lately. The drop out of the first turnaround is a lot bigger than I expected, and those other little hills look like they'll be great. That little airtime hill next to the break run and the very last hill both look like they'll be signature moments.
rctneil Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Does anyone know if Cu Chuliann has actually started testing? I am looking to visit shortly after June the 5th but obviously want to ensure it'll be open. I'm sure the park wouldn't advertise a 5th June opening if they were not quite sure it would be ready but rides obviously do suffer setbacks as we've seen in the past.
cfc Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That is the most frightening looking figurehead I've ever seen on a coaster train.
StealthFan Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That is the most frightening looking figurehead I've ever seen on a coaster train. Im so glad I am not the only one who thought that!
StealthFan Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 ^I believe its already completed testing. It open this Friday at 12:30pm.
_koppen Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That is the most frightening looking figurehead I've ever seen on a coaster train. This! So much this..
rctneil Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 It is a very creepy looking figure on the front. The ride itself looks brilliant and I cannot wait to get over to Ireland to try it out for myself.
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The first online footage is here! : Looks like one very decent woodie!

Paradox Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 It doesn't look like you actually invert on the overbanked turn. Still looks awesome. We need more Gravity Groups like that here in the states.
mousch Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Really looking forward to riding this on the 17th June,looks a good ride!
robbalvey Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Again, I have posted that we will be shooting footage at the park TOMORROW! There has already been one video posted, that's enough. Please do not continue to post more links to videos. We will have ours up as soon as possible, if you cannot respect this you will be banned from the forums. Thank you. --Robb "I shouldn't HAVE to post this!!!!!" Alvey Edited June 4, 2015 by robbalvey
moneygrabber Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Figures that I was in Ireland last summer...oh well. What a beautiful country though.

Paradox Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 So has anyone ridden it yet? I really want to know how this turned out.
rctneil Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 So has anyone ridden it yet? I really want to know how this turned out. TPR is there today filming and i'm sure will post an update shortly with a comment on the ride and possibly some of that footage so just hang tight. I myself will be there on the 17th to ride it. Can't wait for that!
robbalvey Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 The ride had some technical difficulties and did not open today. Going back in a few days once they get it all sorted out to do the filming. Don't worry, we'll have footage of the ride soon! That being said, the park was awesome to work with today and very accommodating! I'm sure you'll see some amazing footage from us in the next few days!

Can't wait for that! looking at other POVs on youtube it looks pretty good, I'm going to be there on the 17th too as a day trip from manchester
BDG Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 It doesn't look like you actually invert on the overbanked turn.
exzantia Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 So has anyone ridden it yet? I really want to know how this turned out. It's actually really good! Nice pops of airtime and good pacing right the way round. The inversion is more of a marketing line than an actual inversion but it's a fun turn none-the-less. I for one am very happy to have such a good ride only a short drive away instead of the usual plane journey!
