Dubai Hills Mall | Storm | Intamin Indoor Launch Coaster | 2022

 
They put the name signage up about a week ago. They have been recently running tests on the exterior lighting system. The lighting sequencing flashes around the exterior looks like “bolts of lightening”, so I guess the name fits. As the previous poster said, rumor is mall opening 1Q22, I’ve heard maybe February. This ride is completed, but I have not heard any track or ride vehicle testing yet (I live, literally, across the street). Hope you enjoy the pix, if I can catch some of the lighting tests, I will do so.

Only just noticed that the thread title didn't get updated.

Hopefully we get some thoughts from @Dubaidave soon! I'm curious about this coaster.
 
Just rode it. Not bad. The launch is amazing. It’s a bit rough which is worrying for opening day.

Will do a full review when I get home.

Here’s my review

Well. It has a preshow which is not bad. It’s a shaky floor with all round plasma screens. It’s a fake lift in dubai with a back story about a storm coming. You then board the train. It’s a 14 seater train, they have two and it’s lapbars. There’s a nice dip out of the station. Straight into the verticals lift. This is a launched lift and is amazing. At the top it’s heavily breaker as you go into a small dip. There is a corkscrew roll and a dive drop, I could have the name of that wrong. Lots of swoops track as well.
Overall the launch is amazing. It takes the inversions quite slowly. And I was surprised how slow the whole ride seemed. It was in the back and it seemed quite rough in places but it was the first day and the intamin gods were there tweaking it. It’s a great ride. And a really great addition to the UAE lineup.
