No there isn't, the picture you posted is just the mounts. There's no trim fin installed on that. Especially with it being the first, slowest-possible test, why would they slow it down and really risk a valleying situation? If that were installed, it genuinely may not have made it through the...

Historically it's not uncommon for Clermont to have track painted & ready a full year in advance, regardless if major groundwork has begun. It could be for KD, but I would lean more towards that being BGW's (alleged Big Bad Wolf tribute) heavily rumored family invert. Colors would match that...

^From the top of this thread, "SteamWhirler" is the name of the Nebulaz; and the (presumably) media announcement kit says: "Suspended coaster (formerly Mind Eraser) with new trains, enhanced operating system and a completely refreshed look." Seems like they hadn't named it at time of...

Yeah... the landscaping/presentation isn't that great yet, and the general elevation of the whole ride is incredibly odd... but just in terms of the rides themselves, I'm very surprised at how forceful some of the turns on these things look!

Truly can't decipher how much sarcasm is being thrown around in this thread... 'Project 305' is very clearly the placeholder name for this season (or two) until the proper retheme, incorporating it into Jungle Xpedition, occurs. That entrance sign is no indicator of it being the permanent name...

New aerial from Bioreconstruct showing off some scenery improvements; lots of colored gravel under the ride & landscaping at top right. Now if we could only get some testing going...

I don't recall Mack Rides doing pull-through tests, that's regularly (but not exclusively) an Intamin thing. I think they'll just take it up the lift slowly and then send it over. Can't wait to see those two words pop up here, once it starts running 🤣

Awesome that they're reusing SeaWorld San Diego's actual plans from Emperor! /s

Anyone care to repost the images here?

^That's for Palindrome, I have not seen any pictures of Circuit Breaker's construction (or even its confirmed location) as of yet. The renderings show it to be in the red area behind Turn 20, but that seems an odd distance away from Palindrome (blue) and the rest of the rides:

Just the corkscrew remaining: Love the shaping of the turnaround from this angle. Even more impressed at the number of columns holding it up!

Feel like I'm going insane trying to read those names. So it looks like we have "The Quest at Tir na Nog" in Pic 1, "Fianna Force" in #2, and [maybe] "Celtic D______R" on #3?

Yeahhhh that POV unfortunately isn't doing it any favors. It was indeed a cold morning, first run, on a non-weighted train POV. This opening day footage with riders looks much better. I'll save final judgement for a 90°day in July when it's proper broken in.

Lol, Kingda Ka is [probably] one hydraulic motor blowout from this happening:

Full images for ease of viewing: ADORE this concept so, so much. Great that they're still working on this. Even though the main coaster has changed from a Tilt to a different Vekoma layout ("Inverted Trebuchet" launch model), I think it may end up being the better ride here. Can't wait to...
