Everything up until the final couple of elements looks great, expect it will pick up a bit more pace so the airtime hill before the turn back towards the brakes will be decent. Now fix the first half to good pacing and we're in business.

I have heard repeated rumours from a number of sources that the metal tubes shown in photo 1 are for statuary...the clump of rocks in the photo have holes for the fountains...I spotted the posh hose nozzles and water tub a couple of weeks ago.

Staff on park today saying that BPB now have control over the ride, with Mack still there for support. They are also saying it will open anywhere from late April to mid May,depending on how generous the weather is.
