Now the opening is nearby i’m very curios how much down time this thing will have. Technical wise this thing is very complicated. I mean look how much down taron sometimes has and thats just a norman double launch coaster ? (i know the lsm’s an taron will probably use way more power than fly lsm’s) but still. Seeing how much moving parts this trains has (the whole seat is even a moving part) this thing will be capable of a lot of technical problems. Or maybe that’s maybe the reason why this project has taken so long. Maybe phantasialand wanted to battle the child sickness ( i don’t know if this is a english word but it means technical problems just when a ride opens ) first before detailing this project en opening it.

haha I think the English version would be teething problems
 
Ok, here's a little entertainment to get across this unbearable waiting until we get more info. Joke:

Ride operator to kid: Listen, you have to pull the mask over your mouth AND nose.
Kid (upset): But I've NEVER puked through my nose.
 
Does this mean we need to have separate 'Spoiler' & 'No Spoilers' threads now? :p

I'll be in the spoilers thread waiting for that first shaky POV that's so bad it makes the ride look bad
 
Before the Lifthill is a Part of the Ride too, i think there are 2? corners before you Come to the Lift
Yeah following the layout from the construction it does a 180° right turn out of the station along an underground room/tunnel, then turns 90° right up along the enclosed prelift - all in the sideways sitting position. Prelift ends with the turn into the flying position followed by the 1st launch. Am intrigued to see what the indoor scenes will bring.
