The comments make for an interesting read, apparently the ride can go up to 60mph if the wind requires it to, which if true, is very interesting. Does this mean 48mph is the minimum launch speed?

 

[SilverArrow]

The fact that this has lapbars and inversions is enough to get excited about imo! UK first? (Edit: apart from g-force) Haha

Yeah, I think this may be the case. The minimum required speed to make it through the layout and in turn, the most 'constant' or 'regular' speed it will go?

Double post, but, thanks to @Temleh for this image.

It's safe to say that there's definitely going to be airtime going in/coming out of it dependant on where you sit.

Ooh yeah... that looks sweet!

So they're going to try and throw you out of the ride and into the beach then? Perfect!

Oh yeah forgot about that haha. But it's still a considerable deal I think just based on that. A launch with lapbars etc.

@Temleh has just sent me another one.

I'm starting to think its definitely going to be a back-seat ride.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Nice drop! I've just looked at a picture of the NI Immelmann, in all honesty, even though it statistically it isn't, that hill looks taller than the NI Immelmann.

 

[Lofty]

Perspective and vantage point, really.

 

[CrashCoaster]

^I don't mean to sound greedy, but has @Temleh sent anymore?

 

[Lofty]

They're the best that he's sent, the others are harder to make out.

Icon construction video from earlier on;

I didn't stay up there too long, it was absolutely freezing. I'll be heading up there midweek and next weekend for more updates.

 

[CrashCoaster]

I wonder which part of the ride will be the most iconic, or the most photographed.

Has this stopped working for anyone else?

^That's a shame, it was my personal favourite.
