Looks pretty sweet. From what ive read its supposed to be a mix of Balder and El Toro, but in some awesome terrain.

Here is the site that keeps a construction blog: http://blog.naver.com/fl0621/80045960775

I think it looks awesome, anyone down to go to South Korea?

That looks like a sweet coaster. Too bad I won't have the chance to ride it in the near (20-some years) future. :(

The height difference between the beginning and end is pretty insane. I didn't think too much of this ride until I saw the lift at it's highest point along with the rest of the ride...looking nice. The first 10 seconds starting with the first drop should offer some seriously intense coastering, along with the midcourse drop and I'm sure, though to a lesser extent likely, many of the subsequent hills.

you think that is ugly?!?! OMG, i think it is one of the most amazing looking coasters out there, or will be when its finished. Judging on the layout as well, it has the potential to be one of the best wooden coasters in the world... maybe...possibly...

Wow this is coming along great. It looks better and better every time they update that site. Whoever thinks this is ugly has got to be smoking something.

^You have no right whatsoever to claim someone has been "smoking something". Everyone has their own opinions. Frankly, I wouldn't completely disagree with him, in my opinion. It looks... eh... average I guess; it doesn't stand out like some of their other woodies, though I am down with the tri-layered turnaround element.

The ride is nearing completion! All that remains is the tracking for the first drop and following air hill. Check out that amazing station and that beautiful setting!

Gosh, the substance of this ride completely outshines El Toro. Is that an MCBR on the straight section?

Yes, but this ride is extremely long (faster train operation) and the entrance/exit of the MCBR is VERY steep!

Man oh man. Seriously the best looking wooden coaster i've ever ever seen. That first drop is stunning, and surely the peak of the airtime hill following it is going to be quite tight, if you look at the pull up into it, and then the drop out of it. Looks like it should give some phenomenal airtime. Before this, i thought GG's woodies were better looking, but this has definately changed my mind!!
