Photo TR: Opening day for Raptor at Gardaland

[ToTheMax012I teach at the school of donkey!]

WOW! Amazing photos! The trains are gorgeous and those restraints look comfortable! The theming is also top notch! How were the wait times all day?

My God, that ride looks like pure sexiness, especially with those wide trains maneuvering through the course

Thank you for the report and as Saldek said some images of the loading/unloading area would be great.

Fingers crossed i should be able to get those tomorrow.
They don't allow any camera's or phone's on the ride.. and i did not see a way to get to the loading area from the exit.. hope i find a way tomorrow.

so does the trim hit it really hard?

which trim??

How were the wait times all day?

The park was not that busy today so it was a 1 train wait. And no.. they are pretty good with loading and unloading and i did not see them stack the trains..

Wow!

This ride looks absolutely amazing! If only I had the money for an overseas trip...

That train is just too cool.

I applaud Gardaland for not only creating just one awesome looking ride, but a well themed one that takes advantage of the terrain and makes a lot of cool 'close calls'.

[griffonj2022I wrote the book about donkeys!]

I wish Busch Gardens Williamsburg was putting in one of these in the old BBW site instead of the lauching coaster. It would be pure heaven But they aren't...

Anyways, these shots are amazing! And as someone mentioned up above, seeing some station and loading/unloading shots would be neat, especially the front car close up.

Thanks for such cool pictures

Lol, it is that i have a picture of it that shows it's installed but i did not notice it during the rides at all.
Guess that's good?

100 freaking percent badass.

Awesome, sweet, gorgeous, awesome photos of one of the best looking coasters I've seen in a long time. Thanks so much!

Fingers crossed i should be able to get those tomorrow.

Whatever you can do is appreciated.

So that answers my question about their loose article policy.
