It's top 3, gave me my best ever ride on a coaster but I had a dog rough ride too. Balder pips it out just for being consistently brilliant when I rode it over 2 days, and Shambhala is hovering there or there abouts.

Ironically enough that worst ride I had was at the end of the day, but then I think it had burnt through a wheel or something because the train was taken off not long after and it was rough as :emoji_zipper_mouth: too.

Just re-watched a POV to make sure I was remembering it right, think you're being harsh on it being one of the worst inversions but I can see where you're coming from, I do remember it being a bit jerky. Although it's now made me desperate to go back because that music, that :emoji_zipper_mouth:ing airtime hill <3

I mean, I thought both posts read clearly that I had one bad ride but the rest of them were incredible?
 
Also, even if it's gonna have the little rattle that can be felt on Blue Fire, it'll still be the smoothest coaster at Blackpool. ATI, stop worrying about the ride, it'll be fun!
 
Found this on TowersTimes:-

^This was posted onto the forum late on Friday.
 
^Hmm... Well April is about right. Spring is technically the months of March, April and May. And considering it needs to test many times and the coaster is only partly complete, it is obvious it will open after SW8, so yeah. April it is.
 
It could open in May sometime around half term, if it isn't confirmed then we can't definitely say when it's open. It could be April too, but yeah... there's no concrete sign of a date yet. Just assume between April-May.
 
The UK could do with a ST:OE of it's own so if it's anything like that ride then I'll be happy. Really enjoyed it, especially. night. Anything better and I'll be super pleased and impressed. Anything worse = disappointment.

I think it should be on a par or higher though so I'm hoping I'll be happy. I'm not the pickiest though and I'll deliberately keep my expectations low. Haven't done Helix so can't overhype from that point of view as easily.

Looks good so far.
 
Someone always beats me to it!

I'm gonna say it... I think that Immelmann turns out too soon to be an inversion. I think we might need to have a look at @furie's inversion chart.

But it looks larger than what I expected!

Naaah, there's a point just about where the crane hook/sling is in that last photo where the train is definitely inverted. Although I will concede that the Non-Inverting Loop on Flying Aces definitely looks like more of an inversion that this, and it definitely feels like one. :p

And I'm not just saying that 'cos the chart has already seen it's 2017 outing... ;)
 
I'm in love with the creative supporting Mack have managed with this! Especially the main immelman support in that last picture <3
 
Definitely an inversion! If Krake's immelmann counts, then this does too... Watching this thing go up is so exciting!
