Based on what we have so far, I'm wondering if we'll see a (basic) Himalayan/mountain theme, with the plaza area being some "base camp" of sorts? Picturing the TV ad now... prayer flags blowing in the wind, the coaster's peak looming in the clouds behind it... I could vibe with that tbh. Theme...

Could Ferrari World be converting Formula Rossa's launch? I imagine it's very expensive to run?

I'm quite frightened to be honest. This coaster being "under construction" is all we've ever known. What will we discuss now?

Ah, I notice you use the word "see" very loosely ;)

Not staying on site this time, but thanks, just after park tickets! Got a reply from their Ticketing team and they have said early/mid February :)

Apologies for bumping the F.L.Y thread, just have a quick question but doesn't warrant a new thread. Does anyone know when tickets for the 2023 season go on sale? Looking to visit on the 3rd/4th of April but it's not possible to book yet, quite eager to get on F.L.Y...

Indeed, although you're forgetting that you, Matt N, are much more intelligent than 90% of those with a Youtube account and an Internet connection. A lot of "breaking into..." and "we spent 24 hours in..." videos are fake, however some are genuine. It seems the desire for clout supersedes...

I mean, you're right, it's been around for a while. Although I doubt your nan was riding huge, loud dive coasters there in the 30s. Very different place. I honestly think that if the building can be seen from a distance in the surrounding area, and it's unsightly, it's fair the locals wouldn't...

But when others on the forum say "I have sources" or "sources have told me" and don't elaborate, we berate them? For the record, I'm not really fussed on the matter of the coaster. TBH I think we would all be a little surprised if it ever opened.

We assume so, I imagine that they're a bit tired too, given they're the same age as the rest of it. As for the paint scheme, up for something a bit different but will be sad if we lose the white track tbh. Definitely iconic!

Hmm, intriguing indeed! I'm a bit more interested in this now. I think if they pour a fair bit of cash into this, and use effects that are effective but reliable, it could be a winner. Hopefully we see a new soundtrack too, I imagine we will.

Not great, hasn't been a good year for this place has it. I'm assuming the wheel is operated by Slingshot Group now too since Merlin aren't anymore?

Indeed, I think this double spine looks rather nice actually. Really excited to see this thing get erected, I'd say this and Toutatis are my most anticipated coasters for the next few years.

Unless I'm mistaken, the cars on the Dynamic Attractions model don't have motion bases, I think they're static. Whereas Gringotts can just rotate each car like a dark ride, these Dynamic Attraction coasters have to use big turntables. The 'sideways drop' could be done on Gringotts by just...

I think you're putting words in their mouth a little. I think they were commenting on the fact that in countries such as Saudi Arabia, those who are not Islamic are treated differently, and that converting to Islam would mean they could more comfortably visit/move to this location to experience...

I imagine Falcon's Fury will be there for a while, don't think there's anything wrong with it, unless it's down a lot? Apocalypse was on it's last legs, had been for years. I'm not sure about the reliability of Mach Tower but I've heard it, along with the other Moser towers, isn't great in...

I love Baco to bits, but only on the front row. Towards the rear of the train it's unbearable, especially on the outer seats, I never knew a coaster could be this unpleasant. So yeah, only good at the front, so I guess overall the coaster is very much a failed product! At least this Jumanji...

I reckon rather than a blinking eye animatronic, perhaps the eye being animated from an internal projection might be more reliable, and allow the eye to digitally blink/look around as the coaster (now quietly) roars around the track. Tbf I'd love to see the station re-imagined and with fresh...

Do we know what it actually is/does? Don't think I've seen 'zig zag' pop up before.

Something like Cheetah Hunt is worse, though? Only a left hand turn between two launches.
