Some of the layout filmed by drone accompanied by the sountrack...
That's actually part of a POV of a test run. No drone involved

All being well we'll be at Schwaben in a few weeks, so I'm hopeful we may be able to report back.
It’s an ‘interesting’ park. Don’t miss out on the indoor boat ride and the cycle powered Ferris wheel!

It's certainly not the most aesthetically pleasing attraction I've seen...

I appreciate how close it gets to the park boundary at the start - that's millimetre planning!
It looks to have a decent ride length, but I'm not sure I... get it? Obviously not aimed at me though, so fair enough.
Oh, and unstickied.

I don't think it should be judged like a coaster. More like a first introduction to the feeling of flight, which it seems to deliver pretty well. It's like an extended wave swinger on rails. It's sure to be a hit with families.
So we rode this on Tuesday.
It's actually quite fab.
@Pokemaniac isn't far off with his assessment - it's clearly a family coaster (Schwaben is clearly a family park), but for what it is it's quite fun. It has good speed pick-up and once at top speed the corners are tight enough to induce some decent swinging of the seats. The ride-ops were leaving sensible gaps between cars so you wouldn't really catch up with the car in front, although we did try a test and the system automatically cuts your speed with a reasonable gap to the car in front.
EDIT - Would also add the supports are quite cool. Clever use of one support column for several different sections of track all passing in different places and at different heights.
The colours aren't great, mind. Oh, and it lacks a station of any real description yet - although it looks to me like they might install something later, it currently has a lot of temporary wooden fencing and rope to make paths, etc.
Overall - actually quite fun. Probably the best thing at the park, to be honest.

Maybe there's a big dial in a box somewhere to crank up the power because it was riding like nothing more than a chairlift in my experience the weekend before.
Glad it has the potential to please.

You know there’s a lever to pull to go faster, right?
