I hope it won't ruin the view/picture angles for Fury then!

That would be the name of the area, which translates to World of Sindbad

Great picture of the track supported with a rope by the loop!

This question just came to my mind, maybe someone knows about a theme park where you cannot buy a season pass

Could be indeed, they only have a very short powered coaster, so a somewhat larger one could add something to the park. Still hope it is a bit more original or custom

Does anyone recognize the layout?

I expect the friction coefficient to be the same, as it is both steel that the wheels are running on and I think they use the same kind of paint for it. I do think the IBox is stiffer and therefore less vibration will occur which will increase the speed, call it a lower practical friction or so

It almost stalled because of the trims 😅

There is a Zamperla Family Gravity Coaster located 500m away from this one in Legoland, but a cred is a cred. Luckily they get some more unique coasters as well.

At Mechanical Engineering I learned that it is much stiffer to have the cross supports go through the main support. The forces are then divided over two walls, with just one it might fold/buckle. I'm pretty sure the supports are thus going through, the ladder is of course less important than the...

I had the same, maybe because they look so white and plastic like, which they are obviously not made of.

Nice to experience a drop track on quad!

It doesn't look like they are doing that. I also doubt if you could stick a footer to a plain concrete floor, does not sound very strong to me. Anyway, nice that there's track on site, hopefully it goes vertical soon

I think they will use steel frames as supports as I don't see any footers inside. It's just plane concrete, like Van Helsing. Has Intamin done that before?
