Our classic fairground ride
Oblivion's tunnel exit by the Enterprise queue line
See how close the tracks get to the queues
and I mean hair messing-ly wooshing-ly close!
For you engineers out there wondering how Enterprise ticks
Back on the castle greens again!
here we see a pair of ducks
and our own pair of ducks too!
Hex is a Vekoma madhouse inside the Towers, it's awesome!
The rides exits into the tower gardens
which is really rather nicely done
not to mention handsome as well
Shaun was here!
landscaping is never complete without angel statues!
Phallic trees of pacman ghosts, you decide!
I planted these trees in RCT too!
Our next stop for thrills saw us at the dark forest
Feeling like breaking the speed limit?
0-100kph in 2.2 seconds baby!
Rita the queen of speed!
The queues where exceptionally long, mid queue stores= $KACHING$
Love the overbanked corners
Someone dropped something?
Coaster art!
New for 2010 is Th13teen
The 13 train leaving the station (An intamin roller)
The world's first vertical free fall drop coaster :P Oh Rrrrly?
Bunny hops! Massive airtime!
Rita launch control
No LIM, but Hydraulic Launch, with pneumatic lock backs
a station pass
Finally.. should had gotten a fast pass. :P
All board!
And off we go!
Two intamin coaster trains in one shot!
The cable car link to the forbidden valley
The train coming from the distance
Next is a new ride on the cards!
But at least this one clears REAL faster
Overview of the station
Personally 13 is nice as a coaster, the rest is just too predictable.
A walk through the gardens!
That way to the forbidden valley?
I think we are lost.... :P
Thank goodness for sign posting!
Remember folks, always have lots of signs to keep your guest happy, that what RCT teaches too!
The gardens, yea nice...
but can we go on Nemesis already?
umm we can take longer here...:P
