C?? Chulainn Coaster - Tayto Park - Ireland - 2015

[Paradox]

The back of the train better have some booty.

That is a bad train.

Once again, Gravity Group has had a history of modifying and re-imagining a ride in production, and or going back and redoing it. The layout could very well and this is my guess, the first final draft, but GG could now be throwing in a corkscrew somewhere as a surprise.

And yes that train is awful.

That's not how planning permission works. Especially in Europe. (See: Wildfire)

We don't know how long this project has been going on. Anythings possible.

Still a great looking ride without a corkscrew!

Our friends from Themeparks.ie have posted some updates:

No corkscrew to be seen so far on construction site...

Everything seems so much lower compared to the first drop - I think this might just have some insane pacing!

If only they'ed make it back to the U.S....

[Coasterkidmwm]

Looks purdy.

[TTD03]

Looks like a solid coaster!

[Paradox]

Shmexy!

is this the coaster that's suppose to get a corkscrew?

Wow, I didn't think it was possible to theme a whole park on potatoes. The puns are awful... "Spudhara" for the Africa area, and "Potatohontus" for the native American area. Wow. Although I'm sure our community can do better

I spy airtime... lots and lot of airtime! I'm still at a loss as to what the supposed 'inversion' on this thing is but I for one am just glad to see wood (:P) within easy travel distance of the UK for the first time in too long. And really Architect, those are the names? Hmm...

Totally do not get the hype for this ride unless you actually live in Ireland which has basically zero actual coasters. It looks very rampy.

Living up to Irish Sterotypes. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all drunk!

I think the hype more stems with the lack of 'modern' woodies in the UK and surrounding area. Europe isn't particularly an easy or inexpensive journey away (also not helped by the sparsity of theme parks) meaning all we really have is Megaphobia and at a push Tonnerre de Zeus.

parks need to do more rides like this

I LOVE Gravity Group. I really want to see more built in the US.

Those trains doe.

They need to fire whoever cam up with that.

I really never thought I'd see a nippleless man as a lead car on a coaster.

I'm cracking up over the train design. If I rode it I might laugh the whole ride honestly

Is the mysterious corkscrew officially dead?
