[BeemerBoyWDW Monorail Fanatic]

Anyone else notice the Vekoma / B&M connection? The OTR's.

Best picture I could find.

I am pretty sure the Raptor restraints are just an update to the flyer restraints, so therefore Vekoma may have "borrowed" the idea from B&M...

I'm really digging the loading area design.

Is there an on ride camera for this beauty? Can't find anything on the website.

There is a video camera installed that films you while being on the ride. Not sure about an onride photo point.. although it looked like one point was there but i'm not sure if it was active (yet)

[jlscarlettI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

One thing to note about the video cameras is that the ones which film you are mounted on the back of the car/row in front of you. So, obviously, if you want to get a video you can't ride in the front row. Not really an issue of course, unless you can only ride once...

[CameronDon't make me kick you in the donkey!]

Hanno, you rock. Those pictures were just spectacular, and the ride itself looks pretty darn fun too

[samisthabombI know more about donkeys than women!]

I love the theming. This ride seems to be fun and a great addition to Gardaland! The park really needed a new thrill ride. Awesome photos!

[rollin_n_coastinDon't put that donkey on the floor!]

Hanno, thanks for your reporting and pictures yet again! So happy to see that Gardaland finally has some substance to go with its incredible theming thanks to some cool additions over the past few years.

I'm just waiting for something like this going up in Florida.
