    Jardin D'Acclimatation | Unknown | €10m Gerstlauer family coaster | 2025

    A lot of digging has happened on the site and what looks like footers have appeared, but don’t think any track or supports have arrived yet. For a park like Jardin d’acclimatation it’s a pretty huge project, though. Taken by me an hour ago:

    Indiana Beach I All American Triple Loop | Quimera (Dreier Looper) relocation | 2024

    From what I'm reading the tire drives themselves are supposed to hold the train should it stop on the lift, but that could be wrong for all I know. Going by the black railing in front of where the cameraman stands it had rained recently, so it could be the tires were too wet to stop the train...
