Awesome, I can't believe how easy this thing went up, these are definitely the Swartzkopf's (sp?) of today. Wow, so many parks could use these, does anyone know how much Rage cost?

I have no idea how much it cost (I would assume a couple of million GBP)

That aside, Rage has started test runs, theres a video up on youtube already. I'm amazed how quickly this has all happened. I really hope Adventure island do well out of this, it's a huge investment for a park their size, who are used to making their own rides. Hats off to them for this happening so fast too!

That was fast construction for a Euro :)

Nice compact layout, could feel dizzy after a couple of laps.

I just hope the local's don't mind the colour scheme, it's quite bright.

I'm looking forward to a layout bigger than "Speed" which has 2 loops, more camelbacks and an exciting downward / upward helix back to back.

Looks like a nice little ride. It actually has me a little more excited for what Mystery Mine might turn out like.

Looks pretty darn good. I hope I can get to ride it, and I'm looking forward to see how Mystery Mine turns out to be.
