About time.... the rollercoaster is running
 
I'd all but given up hope of them ever fixing the problems with the Ring'werk rollercoaster, but it looks like it might be open at last. The youtube clip is doing the rounds on facebook but thought i'd post it on here.

Not much twisty stuff, but the acceleration looks very impressive. Maybe something to try next year, although expect it to be rediculously overpriced ;)

bloody hell never thought i'd see that working:fool: bit of a short run though

To be fair it's longer than stealth and oblivion combined!

Wow acceleration must be immense. Imagine the adrenaline hit!

I think I will have a go on that , a new type of hangover cure with that acceleration lol .

And judging by the latest post by Bridge To Gantry on facebook, the rollercoaster has been closed already!

Guess the new owners realised what a waste of money it was, apparently there was talk of them moving it somewhere else (another theme park or something???)

Damn it, was looking forward to trying that this year.

I heard it was moving and a lot of the stuff is going to close up there

I read the same,

Apparently roller coaster being moved and other buildings being closed and then sold off as not economical to keep open, I'm very interested in the updating of the safety bits and pieces round the ring, IE F1 style CCTV /Flag/light marshalling system will make laps much safer "SLIPPERY SURFACE FLAG!!" flashing at brunchen etc :P :drive: ;)
