Benin Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 The main part is up... And a 3rd inversion (after the advertised 2) has been added!B&M <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster XTREME Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 This is looking to be a great coaster so far . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Cheers for posting the overview Benin, I saw a picture of the 3rd inversion yesterday from ground level but couldn't picture where it'd fit into the rest of the layout. Unfortunately it loses one point for having trims Still, Air has trims which do absolutely nothing to the ride, so hopefully these will be the same. Also, at least they're after the airtime hill. So, the only thing remaining is to see what fills in between the lift and Zero G... I'm wondering if we'll see a plain curving drop from lift to roll, or maybe something else... Straight drop into horseshoe turn please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Double post - sorry. Looks like I got my wish!Straight drop So presumably some sort of overbanked turn will follow, or perhaps a fourth inversion in the form of a dive or immelman loop.

Benin Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yay for straight drop meaning it had to do something else before the zero-g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yay for straight drop meaning it had to do something else before the zero-g Wahey, it actually has a 90 degree turn...I think the layout is also completed, meaning that the trains are the last thing to look forward to...

JoshC. Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I may never have been to Gardaland, but just looking at those pictures and others, you can just tell that it fits in perfectly. What's more, it is a sexy, elegant looking B&M. Bring on the trains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yep Benin, track was completed about 3 days ago. I seriously can't wait to see the trains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 That wingrider sure looks good at Gardaland. Anyone know if any construction on Krake at Heide Park has started yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Really like the look of this ride, it seems it will be another triumph for B&M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamY Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Man that is just sheer beauty Some interesting facts in there too - trains of 7 rows x 4 seats and 6.5 metres wide - my god!When this starts testing I think I'm gonna die!

JamesB Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks lush! Do we have any idea if the queue and station will be themed much? Gardaland has pretty good theming across the park, so hopefully this will have some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 How to advertise your new roller-coaster, brought to you by Gardaland... EDIT - Also it seems they've dropped the X from the title, leaving us just with RAPTOR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 ^When the name was stated, it was said to either be X-Raptor or Raptor. I actually prefer just Raptor..And a very nice video too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob230 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 http://www.gardaland.it/en/genetix_lab/If only Merlin put in as much effort over here. Good backstory, video and nice shots of the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 ^I was just about to post that...It looks incredibly graceful and reminds me a lot of Air... A very good thing imo... Cannot wait to ride this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Its just a beauty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 My most anticipated ride of the year now... and thats saying a lot. Agreed with Benin, it looks far more floaty then I thought it would. More of an Air then a Nemesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
