It's been two months since the track was completed. Unfortunately, there's still no news about an opening date. Has anyone seen it testing yet?

I'll be there tomorrow. Will update

Progress is being made very slowly. Today there were a total of 1 worker on the site while I took a quick glimpse.


He was using the crane at the bottom right. I wasn't able to get a hold of him but it looked to me as if he was working on the wiring of the transfer track


Also some track pieces are still missing their electricity contacts.
I could be wrong but don't see it opening this year to be honest. Earliest 2024 I'd say. I don't know the reason for the possible delay but I'm sure the park wants to open it as soon as possible like they've advetised. But sadly it won't be in the very near future.

Officially delayed until 2024 as announced by the park boss himself in an emotional video:

Sad news for me.. I was hoping to ride it in September as I will be traveling near the park, but we will have to wait until 2024.

Same here. I'm from north of Hamburg and would've taken the hassle of driving there through the construction of Elbtunnel. But now its Hansa-Park again. I really love the Gerstlauer SkyFly and looking forward to this.

Serengeti Park has announced two new attractions for 2024; the Samburu Moto Technical Park Sidecar to replace their top spin and semi-submerged Submarine Safari boat ride.

Also yes the coaster is still planned to open this year.

Ride Review has gone in and done a lengthly interview and construction tour. I can't speak German and don't pretend to understand it, but the fever dream Sky Roller train can be seen on the track below. The coaster tour segment starts at this timestamp;

Another source states that the coaster's opening is at long last scheduled for the May 24-26 weekend, coinciding with the park's 40th anniversary.

In the meantime the new Samburu Moto debuted with the park's seasonal opening last weekend, here be the ride in action;

First snippet of the soundtrack and the official ride logo were released the other day. Unfortunately it STILL won't be ready for opening next week, as initially advertised;

Has anyone heard any updates on this yet? Seems like it should of opened long ago

 

[bratcurry]

There was an update some time ago that they tried to get it open for their 50th anniversary this weekend, but they obviously didn't manage to do it, sadly. I guess, it'll open with next year's season opening. There's no need to rush it anymore as this weekend will be the last big one.

Ok so its moving and we have a POV.

However cannot seem to see an opening date, got to be next year at this point?

Oh geez, so the seats are motorized! I had assumed this would be like the flat rides where you rely on tilting the wings and airflow to get flips.

Almost like a powered axis coaster.

I believe the park posted today that the ride won't open till next year. I visited the park for their Halloween event tonight and it looks much more impressive in person. I also wonder how it loads as the train is pretty high off the ground
