Copperhead Strike trains at 0:23 in this video?

I actually really like the Wickerman theme, it is really well done at Alton and I remember thinking it was a bit of a shame it was "wasted" on such a mediocre coaster. You really get hyped up in that queue/preshow/station and a fantastic coaster like Colossos would be a much better payoff. But...

All the people complainig about the post-MCBR bit... It was either that, or a really long brake-run. They need the blocks for 3 train operation.

That looks rather good! I was really surprised to see the vertical loop in there, very nice and substantial Dive Machine layout. But what's up with that video - has it leaked or am I missing something? The announcement is still in like 5 hours.

I think a drop tower is a good possibility. Maybe even a woodie. Should be interesting.

I doubt it's a new big roller coaster already. They just got DrageKongen in 2017 which was their biggest investment to date. But color me impressed if it's already time again. I don't recall the last time they announced something this early, so it could be...

The park has started teasing their new attraction for 2019. It will be the tallest ride in the park at 45 meters and they will reveal it on tuesday at 10AM. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of a drop tower or a big flat of some kind, but really I'm rather lost as to what it's going to be...

Wow. That is so mediocre.

It also depends on how good the parks are at taking care of their coasters. I imagine certain parks give more of a **** than others.

I love it.

There comes moment where we really have to stop complaining about this stuff. I noticed the rattle in the backseat, but it is MINOR and you know what? It's a roller coaster, it has forces and it will have vibrations here and there. I think we're way to nitpicky as enthusiasts about "roughness"...

Got to ride Icon Saturday. After seeing the testing footage and the POV, I wasn't expecting it to be anything really good, but I was wrong. This is a fantastic roller coaster, with great airtime and some truly awesome moments. Front seat is a joy and backseat has a nice kick to it. Having been...

Totally forgot to share this, but I visited the park a couple of weeks ago and the new area looks really nice. The two new rides compliment DrageKongen well. 'Safaribussen' - Zamperla Crazy Bus 'Jungle Rally' - Zierer Force 0 Overview of the area.

This is my favorite project of 2018 hands down. And that Fenix soundtrack :emoji_heart_eyes:

Man, that whole area is going to look so freaking gorgeous!

^ No doubt, but the first element is also a fairly low airtime hill, which makes the pull out look it does.

DrageKongen is actually using a tire-driven lift, and I assume the one at Warner Bros. is as well.

I did not know this. It seems like Forbidden Journey is just a mash-up of the best things Harry Potter where they just crammed as much as possible in, not knowing if they needed some of it for a seperate attraction down the line. But even so, there is still plenty of locations and scenes that...

I think this most likely will be an Intamin family launcher with cars themed to Hagrid's motorbike and a layout that takes you through the Forbidden Forest. Underway there might be some "special track features" mixed with familiar locations/scenes from the movies. - Say a freefall track inside...

That is just lovely. What a fantastic looking family coaster.
