Ok, I love that train. It just feels much more realistic than I'd have expected it to be.

In that case I'd say trains/cars, potentially new test dummies, additional materials needed for the final build etc!

Yeah, that does seem a lot of containers for a ride that's been created. Just a few speculative points: - Trains - Drop/trick section hardware - Brakes and other track elements - Electrical components etc. That's still nowhere near 70. There's potential, and it has been done in the past, that...

Same. They're just a really innovative way to get more bang for your buck. They're really really clever ways to elongate and add a dynamic experience to the coaster. Cannot wait to see this form of switches appear on much bigger coasters - which inevitably will happen.

Didn't think I'd say this, but quite a fan of those big 'ol Mandrill trains.

The foundations of the park are great - good setting, layout is good, lots of space for expansion. Sadly, it's just been left to depreciate. It would be great if the park was either purchased by another provider, or given a real new lease of life and brought into the modern ages.It really does...

I have the feeling that someone's already purchased it and it's happening soon...

That's a really good point, it literally never even crossed my mind that it is, in reality, the same form of experience as DD/DC. I do wonder if there was more to that story than just 'oh things falling out and hitting the other train', it appears to have been a catalyst to the problem rather...

Not sure if it's the perspective of that image, or what, but it makes the car look TINY. I know they are relatively smaller than most coaster cars, but either those guys are giants, or the car is tiny 😂

I genuinely think these two coasters really are going to be within the top 5 in the state. They look brilliant.

Heathen ;) That holding break is much longer than I'd imagined it was. Really interested to see some more testing videos.

Yet another absolutely insane project that 5 years ago we'd all say "Not gonna happen". I'm really quite impressed with the ingenuity and sheer gall of the Saudi's with their impressive new infrastructure projects. It's insane.

I really hope they're running that first launch at minimal speeds for testing, because that hangtime looks horrific.

Really excited to see this pop up - looks like a great coaster. That dive is giving me proper Gerst vibes 😂

Those hills are miles steeper than I expected them to be - they'll provide some great airtime!

Let's face it, it'll always just be "Nemesis".

Hagrid's. Hands down. Expedition Everest is fine and all, but it's clunky. The switch tracks take (what feels like) a lifetime to manoeuvre and it really kills momentum. Hagrid's is slick, a hell of a lot of fun and the queue line is incredible - not mentioning the drop segment etc.

Just gonna say that staff training for the product can happen miles before the ride is ready to be handed over from a guest experience perspective. Look at Genting Skyworlds... they trained their staff over a year ago for rides that are still not ready.

I wouldn't say 'widely expected' at all. Until they make an announcement, I wouldn't hold your breath for a season opening.

They were only looking at Gerst, no other supplier. We're talking around 10 years ago now.
