"Timber Drop" - S&S El Loco, Fraispertuis City

[Martyn B]

This is the Mumbo clone with something like a 1' steeper drop.

Some art work has appeared on RCDB, and it looks like they're going to give the drop a nice little tunnel...

Well this will be the smallest construction topic in history!

Even though you lied Still no half loop, or inline twsit and final turn in place yet!

At the slight glance I put on the images then it seemed complete, but now when you mention it and after a longer look then I see that I was wrong...
But then again looking at the image posting times then there is one where at least the first part of the in-line is in place (second to last image) and it was posted almost a month ago so it's plausible that the structure is complete...

I'll be happy as long as it is open in August when I have planned my visit there.

I know it doesn't really take much, but it looks like this could be the best looking El Loco out there:

Hopefully it'll make the overall ride experience that little bit better, because these are pretty poo to be honest.

Looks pretty decent...

Loving the drop into the tree... Simple yet effective...

It's like Krake... but better.

I thought this was built ages ago?

I see they've done a few more banks and little adjustments. Looks nice, I quite like the colours for some reason!

Looks just as awful as Mumbo Jumbo.

 

[Martyn B]

If not worse, with the very harsh brakes.

I was going to comment on the speed but thought I'd get a reply to do with it "Not being broke in yet".

 

[Antinos]

Hey, brakes need to be tested too.

I dont understand why Mumbo Jumbo and Timber Drop are so heavily trimmed and braked. Steel Hawg seems to run the best out of all of them I just dont see why the brakes so hard are neccessary.
