Vekoma may actually have a winner. Hopefully their new train designs work good.

Thanks weesen for the update.
Rcdb has the flying pteranodons listed as "Canopy Tours". http://www.rcdb.com/8606.htm

The track looks more like flying super saturator in carowinds and roller soaker in hersheypark than the flying pteranodons in ioa.

The human side of Battlestar is going to be an insane ride for visuals. If this ride interacts as much as Dueling Dragons, the human side is going to get some great visuals as the other train flies by overhead.

Mini Update

Postby weesen » Sun Aug 30, 2009 5:49 am

Just been to the construction site again. Looks like the Battlestar Galactica track is fully completed. Some rock structures are being placed at the entrance and over the structure covering the monorail track. More scaffolding is being placed over the canopy.

I Love Donkeys!
