Paultons Park | Serpents Curse | Mack Water Coaster | 2027

The trough-style lift hill looks interesting. Haven't seen that design before. Curious what the reason for it is (water management, purely aesthetics...?).

I'm not sold on the bright yellow + industrial grey colour scheme. The rest of Valgard has such a beautiful and cohesive palette (Drakon and Raven are perfect), so this one feels a bit jarring in comparison.

Yeah I thought the supports were meant to be teal based on the artwork. Not a fan of the grey either, here’s to hoping it’s just primer.

How many new build coasters get erected and then painted? None as far as I know!? These are the final colours of the ride, unless Mack and Paultons are breaking with rollercoaster construction tradition! With a water coaster, there is a lot more steel involved, so I think they went for a lighter colour support so as not to overwhelm the ride with too much metal on view. The grey will blend into the scenery and terrain much better imo, just leaving the track on view. Maybe best to wait until its complete to reserve final judgment, but I think this is going to pleasantly surprise many initial doubters.

Looking back at the announcement video, the supports do appear grey, however I agree that on the artwork the colour does appear teal.

I for one love the color scheme.
 
With Drakon i was not sure if it would be the best coaster at the park and it wasn't, however this, i think could be my favourite at the park.

This first hill is so low and twisted.

The park have done there first construction update.


Interesting as he states there will be more theming round the ride than in the concept art which is good to hear.

Also Seal falls will be placed to the back of the site along with the new shop behind Serpents Curses station.

This pad an one on the outer side of the track are in for something, hopefully a tunnel or arch of some sort.

Construction of an irrigation shed for the plants and a shed for filtration for the rides water os underway, both will be themed up.

Nice little info board.

I think this may give the best view of the park.

I reckon the 'arch' or 'tunnel' could potentially be a giant Serpent near-miss. It would make sense given the theme of the ride. Otherwise a rockwork tunnel/arch of some sort would definitely be nice.

That's a low bar though, isn't it. There are council estate playgrounds that are more immersive* than most Merlin attractions 😂

Definitely pencilling in a trip to Paultons next year though. I haven't had a hoot hoot there since 2006. Many fond memories from the 90s, too. People have been raving about it for years now but in my opinion, they're only just starting to get interesting.

* - and undoubtedly more closely resemble The Walking Dead.

Little update.

Seal falls has left its old plot to be rethemed and find its new home next to Serpent's Curse.

Painting is coming along nicely, really like how the station building is looking.

Work on the structure over the track continues.

Something i really like is the splash zone they are building, simple yet a great addition.
