ABYSS

Don't know what your definition of decent length is and I'm not sure if you have seen these but, I enjoy watching Dreams to Screams Specifically the ones of Fury 325 & Gatekeeper.

Would love to go on Taron one day at Phantasialand. Looks like a great family ride. I would love to see something like this in my home park (Adventure World). Never been on a launch coaster but I have been on few coasters unfortunately. This is a coaster that would definitely sit on my bucket list of coasters I would love to ride.

Sounds good I will also check it out when AW opens. Getting close now!!

Anyone know what the building is between the gates of Abyss? Is it just portable toilets for workers or something?

I'm honestly so jealous I don't live on the gold Coast.

Adventure World in Perth proved that you can get something big with a low budget with Abyss, a Gerstlauer Eurofighter. If Dreamworld were to do so, I think they would have to add lots of inversions work on adding more airtime and make sure that they utilize all the elements that they could to make it better than AW's.

This I can agree with. We aren't all experts, someone's probably about to quote this and say don't sign up and join then, but you know what? We can join if we have interest, we all learn. You didn't know everything at one point either.

In my opinion, from the footage above, the second half of the coaster doesn't seem sluggish at all to me. I mean, I guess a tiny bit when the train crests the stengel dive, but other than that it seems to gain back it's speed and cruise along the track at a great pace.

I think that would work well but I have s feeling it will be something more along the lines of garden roof top with small square gaps. This photo was the fastest and most convenient photo I could find from the internet. (Ignore the bottom half)

Reminds me of every second I waited to go on the Kraken the day it opened.

I was going to say it just wouldn't be a proper functional queue line area without it. Does look nice without it though as I like the rustic structure. I think this picture represents how nicely the ride itself comes together but not how it ties in with surrounding rides such as Abyss & Rampage. Does anyone else get bothered by the sign how around the edges it's like silver instead of the wooden theming? Do you think that's just not finished yet aswell or something?

AW posted this on their Instagram. "As the early morning fog clears...the giant has awakened". I wonder if the queue is going to have no shade/roof. Looks to me as if the whole ride is elevated above the ground level but probably just because the grass isn't completely flat in that area.

Anyone think they know if this is the material that will be used as a shade/roof for the queue? If not what do you think it is/is for?

It's just the angle probably, I'm sure it will look much larger in person when you're right next to it. Don't quote me but I believe the pendulum in 15 metres long. It is slightly taller and also has the new lap restraints, also with 40 seats instead of 32 on the Claw. As mentioned above by others if you have not read.

Grand Pix, thought it was Grand Pix area because of the wall/roof looks like the Grand Pix race track area.

I have never seen that clock, then again I didn't go at all last season (Plus I rarely go near GP). When was that clock added?

Someone posted this on AW's recent video on FB. Would look nice with additional touch ups to make it look professional. Would be nice to have a huge clock made out of this and put it in a central area of the park maybe on the rocks of the lagoon or something. Just thought I'd share it with you guys cause I thought it was interesting.

Yes, I understand these aren't the most fair nor even comparison photos, but for those wondering how much of a size difference there is between Loke and Goliath, here's a decent look. This is a follow up of my post the other day* First three are Goliath at AW, last photograph is Loke at Liseberg. I obviously own none of these photographs. (Associated with AW are TT screenshots, Loke image was looked up in images and saved)

When I saw it on TT and I've watched the segment like 20 times, it just doesn't seem as tall. The pendulum seems shorter to me, I guess I shouldn't really be judging into I see it in person though.

I'm almost 100% certain that it's definitely not as tall as Loke, unfortunately.

Cheers.

I'm not sure, anyone know how many seats there are on the ride? I can't find a good picture to count.

I would love to experience Abyss with lap bars only one day.

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to change your name on the forums / account name?
