Very few coasters end up being a 100% replica of their concept art, everything ends up looking better or neater in concept art..... Yet this thing is probably the closest replicated theming element in terms of concept art I have ever seen. Brilliantly done AT... We also have to remember the coaster isn't 100 percent finished yet so there is still a chance of finished touches being added to the machine and theming elements around it.coastercrazy18 wrote: Why dos the marmeliser look slightly differant than it dos on the sun newspapper photo.

I can't wait to see the first picture of a train going round that track, just hope they've done their calculations right, certainly a few head-choppers in there!
Still hopeful for a May 18th opening.

Maybe we all get strapped to a chair when we enter the building and tipped over the edge of something to condition us for the real ride, haha! 2 rides in one... lol
On a serious note though, I can't see any trains running on the track until all the fence is finished, or else any gaps in the fence need to be secured temporarily at least, I think another few days to be honest, maybe start of the week before trains are running?

As said, there's not much going on today, but they are in the process of removing the scaffolding around from the, now fixed, support above the toilet block.

I just can't believe how quick it's been constructed! (Apart from the delays) The last time I went to AT there was only a bit of track(that was only in March!)and I am going again tomorrow so I can't wait to see for myself just how big it is!

Some CCTV cameras going in. Could be the on- ride photo/ video or just general CCTV cameras?

Is it just me who's still slightly concerned about the support further up with the HUGE gap? Or will this get a metal sheet between the layers?RollercoasterGEEK100 wrote: Seems like they've fixed the support!
