What is tied to the rails in that last pic?

I'm guessing the answer is 'no, Will - otherwise somebody would have posted it' - but: any movement here now the park's fully re-opened?

It looks like the coaster has been fully repainted:




Pictures are from this video

It looks pretty good actually. Desperate for some rockwork and foliage but otherwise they've done a half decent job given the awful couple of years they have had.

They are markers left by RCS for jobs that were still to be done as they had to get back to Poland before borders started closing. The engineer from Intamin sorted those jobs out last year before painting started.

Flamingo Land put a post up asking if you loved it or it made you sik…. Apparently there were rumours this was going to be sponsored by SikSilk clothing (had to Google it) - if that’s the case I’d much rather they kept the unimaginative ‘Invers10n’

Yes, apparently staff have been saying they'll be a SikSilk clothing unit beneath the station also. Flamingo Land continue to baffle me with their decisions.

I'd imagine it'll be known as 'Invers10n sponsored by SikSilk' ?

Any truth to this @The Undead Creature ?

Thought so as well. Having recently rode Colossus and actually enjoyed it, can’t wait to experience it with lap-bars. Could be a top 5/10 coaster for me (hypothetically, maybe someone who has ridden the others with lap-bars can weigh in here) when you don’t need to brace to avoid head banging.

If they wanted a clothing sponsor, did they really have to pick the trashiest one? Will this coaster be spiking drinks and promoting Puregym memberships too?

 

[adrenaline1996]

Hopefully with lapbars, hopefully larger folk (like me) should be able to ride, unlike Colossus lol

Your guess is as good as mine, I'm just a mushroom, fed a load of **** and kept in the dark..... I've heard rumours that conflict with each other but nothing from management.

If you can ride Stealth, you should be fine as the trains are identical.
Each car is 200mm longer than Colossus' originals which translates to more legroom in the back and a much easier time getting into the seats.

Here is a look how the coaster is coming along, still looks like there is still a bit to do, pictures are from a TPWW video.








Here is a look at the backside of the station building, there are quite a few doors, maybe a gift shop?


You will get a great up close view from the path going underneath the coaster.


Hopefully we might see testing soon but I won’t hold my breath

Drag the train out thinking noone would notice...... there's eyes everywhere I tells ye.

 

[The Undead Creature]

Welp..... comissioning starts tomorrow....... finally.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Here's a construction update from Saturday - a lot of planting/landscaping is taking place around the ride. Interestingly, it seems like there are wheel marks on the track as if testing had already taken place?

I've heard that going around the park from a lot of people but I can assure you the train hasn't been round as I still have a bit of it in the workshop

Do they plan on keeping it a lawn ornament as long as possible or something ala Iron Gwazi?

 

[The Undead Creature]

Ha...... no....... garden ornaments are useful.....

If all goes according to plan, which nothing ever seems to do these days, actual test runs should start inside the next 2 weeks....... hopefully.

 

[CrashCoaster]

We have the new colour of the train on display!

Not what I would've expected but it should look nice.

ABOUT BLOODY TIME.

Testing has commenced!
