Ah, I was unaware it would do this. Now it makes sense!

Isn't there meant to be LED's and stuff inside the tunnel for effect?

 

[Howie]

Dunno, but I just noticed I've been quoted in @GuyWithAStick 's signature. Fame at last!
As you were...

Our very own @Temleh has posted this on Facebook.

That support tho.

 

[Sandman]

Filth. Just think of how many photos we're going to see of this in a couple of weeks when the goons stampede into the park. Let the vlog orgy commence.

Posted over on Facebook Worldwide Attractions group is a drone flight over the construction site;

Can begin to see the Steeplechase section taking place. The S bend before diving into the rolling second launch looks good.

Steeplechase takes up such a ****ing massive area, I hope that we see a future major investment on that site; something which will benefit more from it. Maybe Mack could design something to interact more precisely with Icon and Dipper

 

[CrashCoaster]

HOLY ****.

 

[Smithy]

That hill straight out of a launch omfg.

Honestly though, that and the launch into a half loop aside, this really doesn't look all that for me.

 

[spicy]

^Agreed other than those two highlights, the layout really doesn’t look all that.

However when combined with all the different ride interactions, head choppers, tunnels etc. It’s awesome.

Kind of like Nemesis needs it’s pit for the full experience. This needs the Pleasure Beach.

These were posted on Facebook.

The Zero G and inclined loop seem to have been completed, the best bit is how snappy the transition is and the angle that the Zero G exits is quite steep, should be great in the latter part of the train.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Yeah, this ride will definitely be finished by opening weekend. I'm going to the park on Saturday to get my season pass sorted out, so I will try and take some pictures if I can.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, isn't it refreshing to see a park boss posting construction updates of their new attraction, instead of all that cryptic crap that Merlin insist on churning out.
"Look at these pictures of our shiny new coaster!"
Compared to: "Quick, cover up the drone footage of our tiny, wooden turd almost stalling".
Such worlds apart.

I have a mental image of Amanda stood on top of t'Big'Uns lift-hill this morning in the windy North-West in order to take that first snap.

And some more from the Daily Mail

Looks better and better, seriously excited for this.

Out of interest, did they have to remove any horizontal supports from the Big One? Or was the gap already conveniently there?

I WANNIT NOW.

Gap was already there.
