[coaster-incShe turned me into a donkey! I got better...]

WOW, so much has been said since my unfortunate cancellation of internet, that’s why I have not been posting pics and for that I am truly sorry for you all....

And I still don’t have the net at home yet, this is at college, first day back so...


As construction goes, the site is very crowded with footers at the moment, more big one track has been removed and some of the supports.

When I get back online at home there WILL be an update!!!

^ Thanks for clearing that up.Is the weird heart shaped thing somewhat like a Sea-Serpent?

The weird heart shaped element enters and exits in the same direction, like a regular loop. It goes up into a half loop, then executes a barrel roll, then into another half loop back down. Here's a link to RCDB that shows a picture of the train half-way through the element: http://www.rcdb.com/ig430.htm?picture=2 .

Is that warped heart a symbol of vekoma's tough love?

I was looking for some more info on this coaster, saw that link and thought "hey, it has an official site"
... I was mistaken... and it left me quite.. "Traumatized" heh....

[eddiemufcI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

Hey does anyone know when infusion is actually opened?An does anyone know if the pepsi max big one is going be open when blackpool opens on weekends in february?

Still No Net!?!? should be in a week or so...


and no, the have taken more big one track off now, nearly the whole of the section that i showed before... and i will say that as progress goes, there are nearly all the footers down now so the site is quite a wash of white concreet... or and there has also been a small move around in the carpark of the track and supports but nothin major yet.

Great to see that the Big Dipper has bee repainted! It looks very nice.

It's a sad day when you're more excited about that than you are about the "new" coaster!

A report of Traumatizer I read described it pretty well, how it wasn't very exciting and when you hit the brakes its like you fell asleep when the train came off the lift and can't really remember experiencing anything. I remember it being like that on Kong. The lift was actually the most exciting part, looking wayyy down there at the ground, and then the train slinks off the lift and slithers down the first drop and then I kind of get jostled around a bit and then suddenly there are the brakes.
