Apparently, the track work is complete (according to their Snapchat).

A couple of pictures from Walibi Holland:

I never pictured the track being that bulky, I always thought it was a fair bit smaller than it is!

The finished article! That zero-g looks like it has a nifty exit to it too!

Comparing the size of track to people, I definitely think that the transfer track can fit a two car train.

Yeah that is huge. I'm seeing this more as Mack's version of a EuroFighter/Infinity.

If this ends up not being a spinner in any way, it looks like a fun ride. And if it does, then...wow!

/\ you need to remove the S from the Https for that to work

The odd yellow supports are very strange. Remind me of the yellow ones on Diamond Back.

Sam I the only one hoping it's not a spinner?

Ps. I know it more than likely will be.

 

[Martyn B]

I hope it's not, and now we have the full layout I'm a little bit more confident that it might not be.

 

[DelPiero]

I'm not a huge fan of spinners, so on that basis, I'm still hoping it's not a spinner.

But it probably will be, and it'll probably be one of the worlds best.

 

[ThomVD]

I don't think it will be a spinner. Aside from that one turn, there aren't any elements that would make the coaster benefit from spinning. What is the point of spinning airtime hills? Nah, I'm not 100% sure if this will be a mega coaster, but I'm not believing the spinning rumours.

 

[roomraider]

the super wide evac stairs suggest its something a bit different so either wide trains or a spinner. But we are all just guessing here

An update on the theming which looks...a bit tacky at the moment to be honest. Although I wasn't actually expecting much (if any) in the first place.

Today was the big unveiling that took everyone by surprise, at least it appeared that way and I certainly didn't see this one coming.
It started with some blurred images on Walibi's Snapchat, followed by a rendering and then some actual photos of...
the new Mack Rides BigDipper cars!

Here's some more photos of them being installed on the track from themepark.nl and Loopings.nl:

I love the trains! This will probably feel awesome on the outside seats. I just hope the capacity won't be an issue with such short trains.

 

[JoshC.]

Wow wow wow.

I had been expecting a spinner, and a small part of me wanted out to be a spinner too I guess. However, I'm more than happy with this and really looking forward to trying it out!

"It will be a spinner, those who think otherwise are in denial, wishful thinking, don't know what they're on about, bla bla" said most people in here, aimed at me and Lofty.

Pretty certain I even called "Mack's go at a EuroFighter" a while back.

Anyway, this is going to be immense. That first drop with them trains, WOW!

 

[cjbrandy]

I thought it was gonna be a cool ass spinner but this is just perfect!

 

[Hixee]

This ride is going to be nuts.

So excited.

 

[peep]

Those trains are fab, really looking forward to riding this.

Mack's take on the Wing Coaster, no other explanation for the double catwalks.
I'm thinking the drop is more of an EGF style but comes back on itself rather than a 90 degree turn. I don't think it will be the same as the B&M Wingover drops, you can see the banking at the top of the final pic, the B&Ms are already in inverted position before the drop so the drop itself has no banking.

I'm counting this as a win

Capacity will be an issue, but who cares, this will ride brilliantly I'm sure!
