Legoland Billund 2012. Polar X-Plorer is now open!

[TPDaveI know EXACTLY where my passport is!]

You see, if Th13teen was marketed like this, I would love it!

THIS!!

Yeah, I can't wait to see how this turns out. I'm a little worried about zeirer pulling it off but I guess the've done enough to convince two parks to buy the product so hopefully it'll be a great addition.

Maybe if it's successful the Windsor park could get one to replace the mouse they've lost!

The foundation for the drop section is being made.

^ I'm not really sure. I mean hydraulically pulling down the track (Th13teen) seems a lot more complicated than just letting it drop. (Zerier)

I am fairly certain I have seen in a Video on Youtube of John Wardley giving a talk inside the drop section he mentions that it is actually a true freefall, the hydraulic cylinder is for lifting the section of track, I think I was correct in thinking this. I will try to dig out the video.

Edit - Found Video

That actually looks pretty cool, much better than thirteen as they're not false marketing this as an extreme thrill ride.

That looks so cool! Such an interesting ride, and it should be a lot of fun!

I just hope that Seaworld's watching this video in case they're still stumped on the new Antarctica ride
