Oh my goodness me those trains look gorgeous! I love the red lights! I'm so glad this will be my first wing rider, I can't wait!

Trains look great, everything on this project has been spot on.

They are stunning!

Was wondering if anyone can see how many cars there are per train. From the concept art there's six.

I'm also assuming the train is fullt assembled.

 

[Martyn B]

^ I guess it is, the water dummies are already present ready for testing.

Looks like predator!

 

[Mark]

Stunning!

I feel a iddy biddy bit of Thorpe fanboyism returning.

I was very impressed with the trains when I saw the first picture on my phone today but I didn't look any further. Now I am home and have looked on full screen and seen the eyes with lights... WOW. Seriously impressed by this development. Its amazing how much some little LEDs will do.

I already liked the layout anyways and have been really pleased with the theming effort so far, well apart from that 'plonked' fuselage. The station is really taking shape, totally love the crashed van control booth. Everything about this project seems to have a consistency and a cohesion that makes the storytelling work.

Yay for Thorpe!

Oh Thorpe, you've done fantastically well!

Alas, in vain, everyone will still hate on you because you're Thorpe .

Got to start turning it around somewhere... this seems a good place to start.

 

[TP Rich]

They look beautiful! Really looking forward to seeing these beauties rolling into the station!

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

It looks great...

Makes the rest of the park look even **** than before though... Price you pay

Oh Thorpe, you've done fantastically well!

Um. No-one has said anything negative about the trains? And very little negative about the project in general? Care to quantify your statement?

They look epic. Love it.

Oooh fancy But why the yellow wheels? They stand out too much on the black.

 

[tks]

Grey and grey and grey and grey, grey and grey and grey..

God the trains are boring.. (from those angles)

we learnt this at AI lol. Yellow shows up cracks better than any other colour

In the concept art, it showed glowing eyes on each section of the train. Does anyone know if every car is supposed to have LEDs on them as well, or it is just the front?

One of the pics shows that they all do I think

 

[Mushroom]

Trains look awesome, BUT they have a very short belt again, time to drop more weight so it is easy to fit in! Tight on Raptor =/

 

[CoasterCrazy]

Wow! Looks seriously evil...can't wait for testing! :--D

Which do you prefer?

Both draw comparisons to each other though...

 

[blivvies biggest fan]

Im loving the wingrider restraints, similar to the ones on fiers correct?

 

[Jools]

Wow, for once Merlin create something that looks at least half like the concept art. Haha.

The trains look amaze.

 

[EnigmaHyena]

Those LEDs will make night-riding so awesome, both for riders and spectators. Hopefully Thorpe will look after them well so we don't end up with lightless trains.
