Visited from the UK for the preopening Sunday and my god since the park closed in Jan they have made phenomenal progress
Looks like the front half of the Minetrain is ready to go just waiting for the rockwork & slides/equipment to be finished in the main Helix

Its just so pretty, pics are from Jan & March comparing from same location

Currently watching the live conference looks like the Austrian area will reopen 14th May, less that 11 months after it burnt down

Not sure about the bright blue on the trains but everything else looks marvellous. I remember the blue in the concept art being a bit darker but I imagine this will fade a little in time so it looks like the old trains a bit more. I can't wait to see what part of the park they burn down in 2026 because they're really showing off now!
 
Both Flume & Alpen both testting with boats & trains going around additionally the old Alpen train is being reused in the ride area as theming, such a nice nod to the past Love it!

I'd also like to say how amazed I was when i heard they opened this area 3 weeks early to passholders because Voltron was closed, so impressed
 
Was due to soft open tomorrow as a surprise for Voltron opening weekend; so they simply pulled it a day forwards to fill in for Voltron.
 
Tiroler and Enzian threw open today after what appeared to be a 2 1/2 hour delay from park open, at least going by queue-times.com.
