Skyrush... Wow, what an amazing looking coaster!

Agree that the coaster itself looks pretty damn good, much better than expected. But I still think the seating on those trains is a mess, what is it trying to be? Who are you supposed to be sitting with? It's a kind of staggered four person wide floorless car, and then try to market it as winged? Nonsense. Decide what you want and build it, don't just mix up a load of other stuff.

POV of X Flight online, looking pretty damn snazzy...

That POV makes it look really fast!

It looks excellent. What it looks in physical elements it makes up for in a very well designed layout. I liked the guys frankness, people are too quick to call things slow on the internet based on a POV.

XFlight looks brill.

EDIT: Here is another video

"Something went flying off of it! *clangs of things smashing about*" Always a positive thing to hear when an ride is testing

But yeah Skyrush looks cool, pointless but cool!

And now only a few days after the first test runs, Skyrush is now starting to test the catch car speed without cars on the lift. My god that motor is massive from ABB, no wonder it makes the catch car go at such as speed, in the video on Facebook linked below, you can see just how fast the trains will be going up that lift!

Thanks to theme Park Review.

That is one fit looking rollercoaster

It's nice to see X- Flight had it's tin shed ditched for a tin wall. Looks alright, and water effects are in sync

Great video of Verbolten!
IMO the best looking coaster opening this May

looks like a very fun ride

What an ugly looking tunnel...

That's a NoLimits tunnel... Seems unjustifiably pointless.

And people say Sub Terra and Merlin's theming attempts are rubbish...

Pointless tunnel is pointless...

Wow, Leviathan lair is really creepy and themed so well

Where is the mist, rockwork and erm DARK TUNNEL?

wait, is this the additional theming they said they would add???!!!!

Not really sure why there is surprise about these tunnels. The park doesn't have any heavily themed rides (Italian Job was stripped I believe) and the park is owned by Cedar Fair. The 'scream tubes' are par for the course.

Sure they could add themeing but the park has ridiculous attendance already and now the world's only B&M giga. I doubt they feel much need.

Happy 20th Birthday to the worlds first B&M inverted rollercoaster.

Better POV of X-flight, looks good! But I feel like The Swarms Inversion looks more tighter while X-flights looks more dragged out

Verbolten will have 3 different sequences (I.e. lighting, theming) during the indoor section, either a lightening strike, Thirteen Ripoff Spirit of the Forest or Wolf attack (apparently to homage BBW)...

Nice, very good thinking there...

Wow, that X-Flight POV makes it look really fast - much faster than the other wingrider POVs I'd say.

And good news about Verbolten - even if it is a bit of a Th13teen rip off with the theming idea and some of the sequencing, it is the new ride of 2012 I'd most want to ride outside of the European..

Macks new mega coaster 'The Storm' with a twist for Etnaland in 2013 is looking good and almost fully built.

And this is the reason behind Macks sucess, the mighty blue track.

Already!? Also I wonder if Mack track painters only work on one colour...

The first Shambhala POV has emerged online!

The first Shambhala POV has emerged online!

They have done a much better job than Thorpe at timing the water effects But seriously, it looks like an amazing coaster and in a park that I need to get back to ( not even done furious backache, wasn't built when I went )
