Blimey, that's mental! That first inversion is so bazaar. When I first heard of it this morning I didn't think much of it, but now, I think it's brilliant!

Excited, a better look of how it will play out against the real terrain will leave me speechless.

It almost doesn't look like it isn't humanly possible.
What a way to welcome an inverting woodie to Europe. The first inversion is ridiculously odd but I love the look of the whole ride. It looks like it is going to make use of terrain rather well, too which is always a bonus! And it's rather fascinating to see that it is going to go to a..zoo.
Chester Zoo next, anybody?

It still is! I don't live too far and in the summer it's always packed out. And we can only dream on...
