Lavina Mall, Kiev Installs Indoor Suspended Coaster

I've been following this project for ages but since all the unrest in Kiev a few years ago the project has stalled. However good news came through recently that the Lavina Mall project in Kiev has restarted construction and with it comes the installation of a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster. They have advertised it as the worlds first indoor suspended coaster which as far as I can tell is correct? Anyone else able to confirm otherwise?

 

Wanda Qingdao and Warner Brothers Abu Dhabi are both building indoor suspended's but this one is certainly up first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looks like this ride might now open before the other Vekoma indoor coaster on the other side of town at the Respublika Mall which suffered a similar project stalling during the troubles but as of yet hasn't restarted. The difference is they already had their coaster up so it's still sat in its plastic wrap.

I think it's a great addition to a mall. The vekoma junior suspended's are surprisingly fun and punchy (especially in the back) and they are kind of soaring through wherever they're put so it's also nice to look at.
