Fuji-Q | Zokkon | Intamin Multi-Launch Motorbike | 2023

Even more parts on site:

I feel like the Summer 2022 opening is starting slip away.

EDIT: I've just noticed, these new track pieces have got a more traditional Intamin LSM brake set-up

According to the article, the investment is now 4.5 Billion yen, up from the 3.6b yen mentioned in the first announcement.
 
Tondemina set to reopen in its new location on April 29; < >
 
Much of the initial footer structures have been completed by now; it appears that they're pouring footers in phases based on the site logistics and what space they have to work with.

Here's a quick semi-accurate diagram of current progress that I threw together in two minutes (am not an artist)

That second picture in the tweet looked to me like they were building a parking structure! But no... something is rising and damn it's gonna be good. Are coaster foundations usually built as tight, full, and packed as those?

Not unusual on Japan after a major incident at all.

Remember SD2K was closed for 3 years after it threw a wheel.
Other rides have been closed for a similar amount of time after accidents.
Haya Busa the Arrow suspended had an accident in 2005 and was never reopened.
When Expoland had an accident the whole park closed forever.

It's to do with Japanese culture and I'm not sure on the exact reasons why but any major safety issue often means you won't see rides reopen for many years if at all.
 
You're right! I learned it from a Taylor Bybee video, Japanese fellas put lots of trust on their parks and organizations, so when something goes wrong it makes their past trust go down completely to a point where they feel betrayed and don't go no more
 
Looks like intamin have given up on the mechanism seen on Mick Doohans Motocoaster and are sticking with the system used on Hagrids.

Thank God. Mick Doohan's trains are among the worst I have ever experienced.
