Re: Phantasialand | Chiapas?| "Water Ride"

Can I just say... this main drop looks terrifying...

Re: Phantasialand | Chiapas?| "Water Ride"

I wonder....is that as steep as the picture is making it out to be or not?
 
Re: Phantasialand | Chiapas?| "Water Ride"

I think it's steep but yeah maybe not as ridiculous as that makes it look. Annoyingly that's the clearest picture at the moment of the main drop (I think).
 
Re: Phantasialand | Chiapas?| "Water Ride"

Yh I kinda agree with that one but I think it depends on the lighting coz in some pictures they look realistic and in others rather artificial, but either way it looks stunning imo.

I think it's just stunning how they managed to make such a long track so invisible. All you can really see is parts of the final drop and the bunny hill.

Don't forget the rockwork isn't finished yet. They keep adding new layers of paint everywhere.

I read a rather interesting rumour/theory after a picture was posted of two water pipes peering over the top of the rockwork where the final drop is. Apparently water will flow down the rockwork either side making it look like a giant waterfall. I so hope this is true and that it looks great.

Im not sure if I like what they're doing around the parts of the flume which go through Colorado Adventure. If you don't know they're boxing it all in with panels of wood. I dunno, it's not finished yet but I was looking forward to the close interaction with the coaster.

We still have another month or so of construction. Gah, just can't wait to see this maze of a ride complete.

Going back to the discussion where someone said that Phantasialand doesn't do huge and regular investments such as Cedar Point - I heard rumours that Chiapas has cost around 25 million Euros!

Because if there's water that means testing is soon and if testing is soon then it means it's nearly ready to open!!!

They've started testing the many waterfalls which has got me way too excited. Here's a bunch of nice photos of the area...

Re: Phantasialand | Chiapas?| "Water Ride"

Just a reminder how complicated the entire structure is and how deep beneath the avarage ground level it actually goes beneath all those rocks and walls ....

And here we can see the backwards (second) drop which seems to be indoors and completely invisible from outside
