I freakin' love side "floorless" seats! B&M Hyper should have that style, too! :D

That airtime hill wobble haha - pretty sure smiler wobbles a similar amoutn to be fair!

Also the first drop on the outer seats looks awesome! Plus looks like they've got the dispatches runnning well to increase capacity!

The airtime wobble seems worse than Smiler imo. I can even feel it while riding.

First drop on the outer seats are good fun and as expected. Backseat right is my favorite seat. The top hat rides quite good with a nice floater, same goes for the hill after that. The little outer banked turn is the most lame part of the ride. Imo, it would have done more justice it was a curved 360?? roll. The speed is low enough to justify the g's.
The MCBR is still quite strict and the part after that is still quite slow. Hangtime in the Zero G roll and almost no airtime on the hills. But I think this issue will mostly be solved when the ride starts to break in after a few weeks of non-stop running and when the temperature outside starts to warm up some more.

This is totally fine. Steel needs to bend otherwise it would break. Same with wood and pretty much any working material. Although the park did notice this was quite some extraordinary resonating as well. So they are thinking of a solution. Imo, Mack could have simply solved this "problem" by having one 'A'-support.

And as a comparison if it was okay. Look up the classic rattler bend. :lol:

That wobbling hill is traversed unreasonably fast lol. I hope they don't fix it, it looks cool shaking. Maybe it'll end up causing faster fatigue in the bolts though.

^ Wow faster fatigue in the bolts coming from the countless shakes... I never thought like that. You've got such great thoughts.

They added an extra support to make the track less wobbly.

I'm sure its lack of symmetry is going to annoy a lot of people - probably the most efficient way of solving the problem though!

Wouldn't surprise me if it's a pole between something clamped to the track and something clamped to the engine footer. Intamin/10 work.

I'm guessing that it might be a temporary solution until Mack can come in and fix it during the offseason. Mack usually tends to fix their problems rather quickly, such as them reworking Helix after its opening season to get rid of the rattle.

It still wobbles just as bad. It just stops quicker after a train has passed.

Walibi Holland is experimenting with reversed rows so if everything goes well it is possible that you will be able to choose between riding forwards or backwards!
Note: It's still in a test fase, nothing is confirmed about the backwards option becoming available to guests
