I mean...it's a full sized launched looping Intamiin coaster located inside a hotel. Yeah. It's pretty odd! Anyway, I've posted a full set of photos here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/aquastadium/aquastadium.htm And there's a full video (although very dark) of the ride here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=308454 Hope you all are enjoying these "extended" Asia photo & video updates! --Robb _________________ TPR Hoodies are BACK!

The ride looked pretty good, it seemed a fairly gentle launch though. _________________ Coaster Count - 187 Last edited by deano on Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:53 pm

Overall, it was just VERY strange! --Robb "BTW, thanks for doing all the iPod video!" Alvey _________________ TPR Hoodies are BACK!

No problems with the video's, glad to help out. I'm uploading this one now. _________________ Coaster Count - 187 Last edited by deano on Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:55 pm

Surprising to see lapbars on an Intamin looping coaster. And it was even more surprising that there were no headrests, even though the launch didnt look that strong... _________________ Yngve Current coaster count: 108 Check out my coastervideos (atleast those not removed or ruined by Youtube) on http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MrYoung86
