Latest pictures confirm that the park is building a small permanent structure to house one of its Halloween walk-throughs.

That side to side action is very reminiscent of the latest STC, like HüK or Fianna Force. Excellent family coaster! Just a shame that the prelift section is poorly executed. Hopefully, over time they can polish it?

I have a friend who spent his holidays in Algarve and even visited the park and it was only testing. It looks ready but for some reason it doesn't seem like the park is ready. Perhaps it still needs some paperwork or some certification before it can operate with guests?

I was going to say this. The land to work with is not that big, and has an odd shape to fit anything relevant (unless you are Phantasialand or Gröna Lund). Given the Halloween season is around the corner I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to fit a semipermanent upcharge horror walk-through...

IAPPA is to be held in Barcelona in September. Common sense dictates that GCI and Isla Mágica should release more details. However it's not the first time that this park has planned a ride only to drop its plans with no warning, like they did with the Vekoma Mine Train that was supposed to open...

Ever since the Battlestar Galactica fiasco, Universal hasn't really worked with Vekoma, so it could well be a Mack.

I think this is a wln-win situation. The POV was 49 seconds long and it lacked the first launch, so I estimate that the overall ride time will be just over a minute. A coaster with just two trains will need as many capacity as possible, so having a short cycle increases capacity. If that leads...

I see that the autosmooth button is not available on the Iranian version of NL2.

I have seen videos of testing as of today. I don't think it was running at full speed or if it was the final cycle setup but it didn't look that special.

What you said is true. Besides, the nearest decent park is 200 miles away from IM, which is Parque Warner. No competition means no need for investment, since people don't really have a choice and don't know better. They rely on locals and school trips. Back in 2007, the park was supposed to get...

Just watch the episode on Coaster Studios where they almost got spited because it was raining lightly and they wouldn't run the coaster if a single drop was spotted and they had to wait for the lift hill tires to be completely dry.

That literally came out of nowhere? I am excited to see how the first Spanish GCI turns out. Hopefully, as Projektion mentioned, it will feature Titan track, as heat can be brutal down South, and we can see how the Spanish wooden coaster have aged over time under the blazing sun. I am not...

Do you mean gone, as in, rethemed or completely scrapped? If they are going for a retheme, will they keep it enclosed or partially enclosed?

Yeah, bir Firlefranz can do this because they just run 1 train. This will be interesting, since it will be able to run two. Some kind of switch track trickery is sure to be used here, but I fail to see how. I love these Gerstlauers semit-shuttle coasters with multiple trains, like Mystic or Wakala.

Maybe the ride hardware will be ready for the 2025 season and the final theming elements will be added for the 2026 season. They already did that with Sky Screamer. Fingers crossed that the Xtreme Spinner is not delayed beyond 2026.
