Dreamworld Australia | Steel Taipan | Modified Blue Fire Clone | 2021

Kinda hope the loop and stall are a bit taller in that case so you still get the neat hangtime from both. Really enjoyed those parts of Blue Fire.

Apparently its because the launch will only have 1/3 the amount of LSMs, so will launch a bit faster to account for the extra coasting it does on the flat.
Logically those LSMs will be at the start of the launch so trains can get straight onto it from the transfer track, therefor the remaining 2/3 of the launch track will be LSM free.

I still don't get why they didn't add a speed hill or something else to not just have straight track after the LSM.

 

[Gazza]

I guess too much additional customisation would add to the cost. I agree though.

Some pictures from the video below, construction is going well.

Some new pictures, the mid course is up with the drop off and more of the loop too.

what a strange idea to make it the same color as an already existing coaster right next to it with similar track type. i'm sure that won't confuse anyone

Nobody mixes up Limit and Big Loop.

What was that park in Sweden (I believe) that has two coasters of the same manufacturer and the same type of track and colour side by side.
I don't think here anyone will be confused, but another colour makes the coaster more unique.

Curious about this one, I liked blue fire in EP.

Heide Park still wins with its four white coasters all clustered together (Big Loop, Limit, Flug & Bobbahn), although different track types.

The trains are on there way.

Also the loop is done and a model was shown (shame they did not show the whole model).

Work continues and the track seems to be going up at a good pace, part of the twisted horseshoe roll is up as well as the first big turn.

An aerial shot of progress. Just about all the regular layout is done, still needs the final turn, brakes, and the reverse spike.

 

[Gazza]

Took these this arvo. One last bit of track to go on the reverse spike and the layout will be complete.

 

[Pear]

And the ride is done!

Theming and paths have started to be built, some great shots of the coaster from the source below:
