Wow! I want to ride Hydra!
I hope that the big main ride will be good too, to me it seems abit short, prehaps it will be abit like Nemesis, fun but short :/

Anyway, I wonder if they will have a boarding system like Oblivion (when there are two cars loading at the same time), like AIR (split) or like a spinning coaster where they just keep loading the empty cars in the station.

This is my take on it and from what I saw on Saturday.

On Saturday while gazing at it, Dave spotted a number of air gates (Can't remember how many were there, but it was more than 2) lying just behind a lorry. So my guess is going to be that it is going to load in Oblivion style with the 2 trains loading at once. Looking at the length of the station, this seems possible.

Only time will tell, but I can personally see Oblivion style.

2 trains loading, 3 trains offload by the looks of it, from the plans :)

It looks really quite huge in person as well, which I thought was good.

There wasn't much work going on yesterday, but I saw a man!

Don't have a clue what he was doing though.
 
Wow. I never knew that drop out of the station was so big. I hadn't seen a pic where there was a bloke next to it. It really puts it into perspective.

Same! I had pretty much thought it was half the height! And things always look higher when you're on top of them too... is the inside section pitch black or just dark?

Sorry to be so anal, but you mean they're Again, I apologise, but it's simple grammar and it bugs me. :p

I agree with Arly actually. I thought that it was going to be a little dip out of the station. It's actually far bigger that I expected. That's only a good thing though!
 
It seems the updates have came to a stand still :(

Does anyone know what they are constructing next?
 
You can't expect updates every single day. If you do it will kill you in the closed-season!

If they carry on at the rate they have been going, the track may well almost be finished by the closed season. Although that is unlikely.

I do worry for the mental health of some of the members here, they get really obsessive. Me included.
 
Nice too see that they are heading for the turnaround.

Yes maybe the track will be done before the closed season. But updates will be posted when they are. No need for pointless posts asking is there any updates.

As I said they will be posted when there is an update.

Otherwise we going to have 200 pages full of ****!

BUT I see a problem, doesn't it break before the barrel roll?

Yes, there are permanent eddy current fins in place on the MCBR before the heart line roll.

The final break run has been installed on the ride. There are also pieces for the dive loop on site, but I assume they’ll wait until the airtime hill and MCBR is complete before constructing the dive loop. As it’ll be tricky regarding site access.

Anyway, just thirteen days until Dylan’s nightmare is revealed.
 
Looks like there'll be some awfully effective near misses with the trees at this point. I'm liking it a lot :p
 
^They took the brakes out remember. after the next bit it'll go into an airtime hill. The that tight overbank thing and then it'll go into a MCBR.
I think. :lol:
