I used to think this was like the brain child of one of those No Limits 2 experts who produces these ostentatious designs across sweeping landscapes, but it's so much more than that.
 
Reminiscent of the Boardwalk Bullet pre-drop turn. Love the transition from a flat turn to a steep drop!

Trains onsite. Lead car looks fab, looking forward to them being assembled and getting a better view of the sides.

Just posting these here [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

With Lightning Rod and Wildfire it looks like RMC are really stepping up their game. Hopefully more of these will be built in Europe after Wildfire opens...

These two coaster almost remind me of the year when EGF and Superman were built and people had trouble deciding which one was/looked better.

I can't wait to ride this!

Kolmarden have said that around 80% of track is in place, 23 days to complete, test and commission sound possible?
 
No chance, I cant help but feel like they've been at this same point with track completion for a good month now. Not sure if they are just poor at posting update photos but they all seem to be photos of the same section of track? Haven't seen any of low to ground rocky track or any of the two other inversions? I assume that the 20% left to complete is the drop.
 
Potentially, this is FLYING up. If they test it 24 hours a day, or as close to that as possible, it's very possible. Look at Lightning Rod, they were testing it until 3am to get it signed over to the park 'in time' (I know it was severely delayed).

Kolmarden have indeed been a bit rubbish at posting areas other than the lift, the zero g stall and the large wave turn, they focused on those for absolutely ages, but the above is a new section and RMC have put a load on their FB recently, including the wingover (corkscrew).

I think they still need to do the drop to the entrance of the stall and the finish, god knows what else.

Flights there are holding their price so if they make huge strides in the next week I might pop over for the day at the end of June.
 
If this opens to the public in June i will fly to America and take Blackhole6670 to kings island so he has someone to ride xtreme flyer and slingshot with. I will even hold his hand.

Keeping this, just in case.
 
The thing is RMCs just seem to be done and open, it's weird.

Joker was just kind of done and is now opening.

I can see them shoving in the last bits of track and being done - it's the electronics after that take time but who's to say that's not already done?

If the park thought they wouldn't get it done they wouldn't be pressing that date.
