The official season at Wiener Prater is 15.3. - 31.10. But pretty much everything can be open when the weather is fine.

From today: Track pieces for the lift hill and other stuff:

Had to see it myself today: Some footers being poured on the path for the lift and first drop: Some more:

Quick update: A lot of groundwork has been done and the supports have been marked. The trench is much deeper than I originally thought!

Had to see it myself today! They've dug the trench for the first drop. I took pictures but I can't upload them, unfortunately I always get an error message. Very excited to finally see it happening :D Edit: I finally was able to upload the picture of the construction site. It appears to be...

The coaster is visible on Apple Maps!

Is the track in storage on site? I've looked for it the other day but could'nt find it.

oh man, I was looking forward to this coaster.

Yes, thats basically the reason. Any less than vertical requires less power to launch the cars.

There’s actually a reason for that. In the documentary they explained it’s because you need more power to get a train up 90 degrees while on the other hand beyond vertical is for the launch the same as for example 70 or 80 degrees but upside down. This doesn’t matter for the launch as long as...

The coaster will look great in this spot!

Something interesting from the interview above: [German] Stefan Sittler-Koidl: Wir sind auch noch lange nicht fertig. Der „Wiener Looping” wird die erste große Achterbahn im Prater, aber lange nicht die letzte. Die Leute werden staunen, welche Entwicklung der Wiener Prater in den nächsten 15...

You mean this? edit: I also found this

Maybe the track banks to the opposite direction just before the curve a little bit and then into the curve and the camera is stabilizing it? I watched the first launch many times now and you see the track banking ever so slightly to the left, then to the right into the curve. edit: look on the...

It wouldn’t be weird if it’s Energylandia 😂

Thats definitely the same video! Never saw it tho

For me it was on Oziris in Parc Asterix. That little moment after the vertical loop when the track goes straight for a bit before entering the immelmann was totally unexpected airtime for me. For a brief moment i thought I was falling. Yukon Striker has the same moment after the loop.

I think those pictures are a few weeks old. You can see the wall next to the path is still up on the pictures. They did a lot of work since then i guess. btw I absolutely love how this coaster looks!

No, not really.
