^Two things, firstly, that topic was over six months old, it's fair enough to start a new one now based on the new information we've got. I agree that it could easily have been put into that older topic, but it is fine here.
Secondly, now I don't know whether this is what you meant or not, but that post seemed very... spiteful. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you could easily have made that post sound a bit less dick-ish.
As for this new ride, certainly look interesting. Can't wait to see it completed because it means I can justify the return trip to Parc Asterix! Looking forward to seeing how it looks with the lake and the theming completed.
