^Trust me, the two don't compare at all, Scooby-Doo just has an elevator lift and a turntable, Winjas has full on WTF moments that make that ride AMAZING.

Very dumb question, but is it just me, or does it look like you go out of the element backwards?
What do you mean cameras on rides are illegal?

Yes, the train indeed leaves backwards, and then is returned to the forwards position via a transfer track at the end of the ride.

Credit where credit's due. If that is indeed the plan then that could be great fun. :airtimer:

The Worlds First feature will supposedly be revealed tomorrow morning.

GMTV are apparently on site this evening and will be reporting live from the resort alongside the TH13TEEN bootcamp participants sometime between 6 and 7am tomorrow.

Well just watched it on gmtv and im now very undecided on whether its the best thing ive seen in years or the worst the coaster itself didn't look that great to me and although the drop part of the ride looked cool I cant see the point of having it right at the end just to go back in the station.Think its gonna be one of those to ride rather than watch.

This B&M donkey is so smooth!

After watching GMTV my feelings are the same as the post above,also i wonder if the dark section has other effects that haven't been shown,or you could'nt see from the footage.
