Here's the image of the finished track from the Dev Diary.
You can just see the in-line in the background although it isn't a very clear shot of it. Click the image to enlarge it.
Looking forward to seeing the themeing coming together now. Although you can see the plane is already starting to go up at the bottom of the drop.

I can't believe how quickly this thing went up. It looks like it will be an awesome ride. Look forward to seeing the themeing construction now.

Am really the only one who is actually disappointed with the layout? Looks mega short and a bit meh if I'm honest!
Still real excited for it, but yeah...

Yeah, to be fair it's a lot more substantial than most other recent additions to the parks!
I'm looking forward to seeing the theme develop now, I think it looks great already it should look even better once the theming is in!

I can see the "Webcam" shot and you can see a bit of track but not much, I was just wondering what else there is or is that it!

I have to admit and I know they are some big fans but I thought Raptor at GL was just, good. I didnt come away thinking wow that was amazing. In true B&M style it was a great smooth ride but, dare I say it, a little boring. When I saw that TP were putting in the same sort of ride I wasnt initially excited about it. I think the themeing and that first inversion is going to make it interesting.

Yes, seeing a 120ft B&M being built is underwhelming...
Some people are never bloody pleased are they? :roll:
^No flats, there's barely room for the toilets...

^ As much as I'd love them to do this, they'd have pretty much nowhere to assemble the Fright Nights mazes, unless they move on to X:\No Way Out pyramid and get rid of the other, but I can't see that happening.
Forgetting the mazes, it would be brilliant if they got rid of Neptune's Kingdom, with the exception of Depth Charge, and built a few flats there. It would definately help control queues and boost the park's capacity at the same time.

I'm very much looking forward to riding this in March of next year, I'm not really to bothered about the length on the track as long as it packs a punch and the theming is done well.
But all in all a small but punchy ride and i will be happy.
