^I second that. Tunnels are such a simple yet amazingly effective element on coasters, especially wooden coasters. The ridiculous amount of echoing from wooden coasters in concrete tunnels adds another dimension to those few moments.

This ride looks like it will be pretty awesome. I've yet to get on a GCI but they look like they're great coasters and this is no exception. If I'm ever in Europe, this park is going to need to be one of the parks I visit.

I have to put in for my 2012 vaca by Oct 2011. Is there any chance that the dates will be announced before Oct?

That's definitely going to be a transfer track/maitnence shed.

You can see the transfer tracks in the model.

Just a note - that model has two transfer tracks inside that shed. I'm almost positive that all GCI transfer sheds only have one transfer track inside of them. There's a sign that we're looking at three trains here!

There's a website with around 70 pictures of the model on it.

It was posted a few pages back, but there it is.

Exactly the thought we had on the Dutch forums! They like to go for decent capacity rides so I expect lines to move fast there.
The model of the ride is on display in the park, that's what Europa Park usually does when announcing/building a new ride or hotel. Currently on display are the new woodie and their new hotel 'Bell Rock'.

Looking forward to the TPR Europe trip, hopefully I can join for a few days!
