I'd expect to see something at the weekend, timed to coincide with the WOW WEEKENDS. I think they were pushing out quite a few updates over the winter was because the public weren't in the park, now they might as well let the public take and share pictures.

The supports on that turn are complete, meaning the ride structure is officially 100% complete:-

I don't think this Mack engineer is pissing all over Icon:-

I'm slightly confused on how the transfer track is meant to work:-

This definitely looks to be worthy enough to be a top 10 coaster.

If I told you that's not the transfer track, and simply the steelwork supporting the station floor (with lockers behind), would that help? ;)

Ah, so that whole gubbins is on a track system out of view? The steelwork in that picture isn't part of the rail system, is really what I meant.

Didn't realise the whole platform moved, that's nifty.

Yeah it's all attached to the sliding mechanism. It's very nifty and reminds me a lot of how the classic wooden coaster transfer tracks work.

I know, it will be really good ride but top 10 rollercaster in the world is an exaggeration. Not when there are such rides in the world as shambala, expedition geforce and some 25 more, which are definitely better than this. Take a bit of objectivity guys and sorry for my english :)

Definitely? This ride hasn't even tested yet and, whilst it doesn't look like it's going to be one of the best in the world, who in here has said it will be?

Bigger isn’t always better my friend! Taron and Helix go along way in proving that.
