I had hoped this would open soon after John Wick and Now You See Me*, but was there yesterday and could see construction workers on the exit of the first turnaround. Looked to be doing something to the track with a lot of tool boxes, etc, around. Best view of this was from the Star Flyer though, so no pics (from me).

Shame really, as I think this park would have really benefited from it.

*John Wick and Now You See Me were both decent - but nothing to write home about. S&S knocks Intamin out of the park with the 4D concept (although that's not hard given how vile the Intamin creations are), and Now You See Me had a surprisingly aggressive shudder which took away from a really nice first half. They were both one-and-done's for me.

Cheers for the review @Hixee! Are you riding Storm at Dubai Hills Mall on your trip?

Yes, I will be. We're staying just up the road, but have had lots of other things to do so far. Planning to pop in ad-hoc at some point in the next few days. Will leave my thoughts in the thread once I've ridden it. :)

I mean, they look about as good as we expected? Spinner looks to start strong but fizzles out sadly. The Free Spin also looks to be one of the weaker ones in terms of flips which is rather sad.

I had not previously noticed the second lift hill at the end of Now You See Me. That's a bit odd.

I imagine it's because of the landscaping of the park it was originally built for, maybe? I could be mistaken though, and you're right in that it's odd haha.

OK, today we went to Motiongate and on the way out we could see Bombay Express testing nonstop. Does anyone have any information? Is an opening imminent?????
It looked so close today that I’m inclined to delay my visit to Bollywood until the end of the week in hopes of upping the odds of getting on the GCI.
