Garet Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 ^That 1st shot was taken from the parks official youtube video. I'll post the link below. It was kept hidden in a lot of recent footage, drone shots etc. Now is one of the first times it has appeared in the official footage.

Garet Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Lift hill is done based on the parks (sadly vertical) video from their newest ride, Klake, due to open on the 23rd. [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 A quick flick through the parks instagram tag and you can see the completed lift and drop in the background of these two shots. https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/%EA%B2%BD%EC%A3%BC%EC%9B%94%EB%93%9C/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] Looks like MCBR and second drop are in there looking at the Krake POV Edited January 2, 2018 by Garet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) From the parks facebook page The POV on the site being the TPR video of Sheikra made me think it was a Sheikra clone but it looks like the second drop will lead into a second immelmann so perhaps a Griffin clone instead?

Garet Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Maybe it's just the angle of the photo but that second drop looks a little more stretched out compared to Griffon/Sheikra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 It's interesting to see them use the old school trains/restraints on a larger scale dive machine. I guess that just goes to show how it's a park's decision and not B&M's. Also loving the color scheme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pear Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Since it's a clone of Griffon it would be much easier for B&M to just reuse the older trains instead of redo a lot of calculations for adding vest trains to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 It's interesting to see them use the old school trains/restraints on a larger scale dive machine. I guess that just goes to show how it's a park's decision and not B&M's. I would say it's definitely B&M's. They design the ride, after all. Also, if this IS a straight clone of Griffon, then that layout would call for the old trains anyway, even though these are 8-across instead of 10-across.

FeelTheFORCE Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Isn't the track gauge different for trains with vests, versus traditional? I'm not sure if that's the case with dive machines, but I remember hearing that about Banshee when the topic came up of retrofitting existing coasters with vest trains. I'm sure they could make it happen if they wanted to, I mean B&M found a way to fit their trains to a Morgan, but it was probably cheaper/easier to just go the traditional route.

Garet Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Draken will open May 1st. They also updated some of the older pictures I posted in this thread with that date as well.They're advertising it on the site as being Draken Valley replacing the old Snow Park tab while still keeping a bit of the Midgard/Asgard/Nibelheim theme.
