Its a shame intamin didnt make the airtime hill into the cobra roll more prominent when they made the revision changes. Its the only respite in what is otherwise a bland layout.

Agreed but think it is hindered by going underneath the corkscrew which must have stopped them.

Ugh...

I had heard from my source with a direct connection to the park that they'd already had to delay it because there were "problems" with footer placement and groudworks, so this isn't totally out of the blue!

Wouldn't surprise me at all. RCS work to very tight schedules and the fact they were pouring concrete and placing footers whilst RCS were onsite meant one issue or delay would put RCS back a lot.

Erm... That facebook post isn’t available any longer, what did it say, and who’s post was it? ???

Dive into tunnel before cobra roll had an issue with construction, and the work has been delayed.

 

[rob666]

And construction firm have cleared off to another job abroad until the ground works are sorted.
So a double delay.
Summer holidays at the earliest.

Looks like they’ve just propped it against it as a storage area to keep it out of the way, hence the straps.

Are RCS back on site now then?

^I'm not sure they ever left.

In other news, the train has arrived. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, there only seems to be one:-

Edit - Image removed as owner stated in post not to use image elsewhere.

Wonder if it will be repainted. Nice to see the pull-down lapbars though.

 

[Peet]

There's still time for the second one to turn up but it would be a parts donor within a year anyway

 

[VonRolland]

I was under the impression they left when some of the footers were incorrectly laid and said they’d come back when they had time

Not the biggest fan of that colour on the trains tbh and either way if two trains are delivered I doubt it will ever run them both simultaneously

 

[jmc]

Gosh all these combinations of colours are truly awful.

Suits Flamingo Land perfectly.

If you look at the entrance of the corkscrew (bottom middle of picture), you can see that they're starting to paint the track grey.

 

[Nicky Borrill]

Well spotted Josh... To be fair with planning as strict as it is at the minute, I never doubted that this would happen, or an application to vary the original application.

**we applied again to vary the conditions of our extractor fan application to allow longer operating hours, still no joy ???

 

[AidanCKY]

Good to see the trains arrive and the track being painted. I was worried for a moment they'd somehow keep it faded red and horrible yellow.

I think the green train(s) would look fine on a black/grey colour scheme.

I wonder if there is a 2nd train - the park that ordered it could have only purchased one in the first place!

The picture looks amazing! Very mystic and very much like a mystery. Maybe that is the theme and look they were going for...

Nah that’s just dawn mist ?

Awh man... The grey colours that'll start to show could have meant a mystery type theme
