Just so long as that crash happens well away from the ride.....

Well you are not wrong 😁 As for the second train on Kumali, they get rotated every year so they both get used still. But they never seem to want us to actually put both on the track even though it is sat in the workshop almost ready to run.

Definitely only got one train. We finally found out what happened to the second one. Hopi Hari never made the last payment so Intamin kept the second train and then later sold it to Anka Park just before we bought the ride from MAPS. From what I have heard though, the Turkish park has run into...

Not unless they managed to get a shot of the control room or the runs from the day before.

Like glass 😎

Shows how much attention I've been paying to that bit...... that's the first time I've seen the new pond..... I really hope that water gets cleaned otherwise people will think they are taking the name a bit too literally.... 🤢 On a slightly more positive note, we finally got to ride it today...

Funnily enough I think that's where he said the bumps were.... 😁

The first humans got to ride for the first time today in the form of the 2 Intamin engineers. One stood up after his ride and promptly said in a Swiss accent "Faaaaaaaaaaaaack that's insaaaaaaaaane" He said that the speed it carries through the heartline rolls is rediculous and that despite 2...

From what I can gather, noone seems to like the new uniforms much either...

I'll second that...... 🤢 You must be the eternal optimist 😁 It sounded weird when I first heard it months ago and it's gotten progressively worse since.....

It.....appears to be getting... faster?

I think you may be pleasantly suprised. Everyone is shocked at just how well it is running, and that's including Intamin. There aren't many rides that perfom so well on their first runs. The videos really don't do it justice because the wind masks the rides noises...... or lack of noises...

It was a while ago though, I'm talking mid to late 2000s. I remember it because for the purpose of daily checks, the compressor was considered its own machine with a seperate check sheet to the rides it supplied. The one who actually checked and turned it on was whoever got to it first.

Ye, the shoulder strap broke and because they don't have bones they just bend around the lap bar.

Bout bloody time indeed... Tried to beat Colossus' first test but we only managed one fatality...

Reversed? Now I'm curious....

Strictly speaking, every coaster that has articulated trains instead of draw bars has a zero "car". Each manufacturer refers to it in their own way but they all do essentially the same job and that is to provide a rigid support for the trains floppy end. B&M got creative with their inverted...

It adds a literal **** tonn of mass to the train, without it there isn't enough inertia to get round the course. That and it also moves the centre of mass towards the front which helps pull it through those rediculously huge inversions.

Ha...... no....... garden ornaments are useful..... If all goes according to plan, which nothing ever seems to do these days, actual test runs should start inside the next 2 weeks....... hopefully.

I've heard that going around the park from a lot of people but I can assure you the train hasn't been round as I still have a bit of it in the workshop 😁
