I was lucky enough to attend the VIP launch event tonight and was able to ride Steel Taipan 3 times in varying seats (back, front middle). Firstly, wow that’s an awesome coaster. Everyone is in for a real treat, especially if you haven’t ridden this model of coaster before. It’s fast paced, exciting and thrilling. I love the triple launch. Everyone might not like it and would prefer a single launch, but I personally love it. The first launch eases you into it, but the second and third launches pack a punch. There is so much more airtime throughout the coaster than I was expecting. Other than the mid course brake run, there isn’t a moment for you to relax, as there are so many components to this coaster. I’m going to ride it a few more times before making this verdict, but I think I might prefer it over Rivals. The coaster was very smooth and comfortable, especially towards the back (which was my preferred seat). The whole area has come together really well. There are a few little details throughout that are a nice tough. But overall, I think it’s well laid out, offers so many vantage points of the ride and is definitely the parks landmark attraction.

They were running the spinning train all night. It was very popular. At the start of the night they had both trains running. I didn’t do the spinning seats because it probably would’ve made me sick, but I spoke to a few people and they all loved it. The experience will really come down to who you’re on it with, or if you are doing it on your own. Speaking to the ride ops, they said one staff member went on it yesterday by themselves and they were constantly spinning like crazy the entire time. A few photos from the night that captures the queue setup and station Info and queue wait time sign This sign is at the very start of the queue The queue then splits into 4 half way up Where the queue splits to 4 (you can see the orange chain in the bottom of the picture above, is where the general queue returns back down the ramp and back up again (this is the extended queue when it’s busy) These storage lockers are actually the old ones from Wipeout, that has been refurbished The station looks fantastic, especially at night

Agree. All staff should be wearing this

Road Runner opened up at sometime because I got to try out the new trains. Superman was a walk on.

Yeah something family friendly back there makes loads of sense and all that capacity is needed (even if the star attraction has a fairly low capacity). It does look a bit average right now TBH, but that is pretty standard for new attractions before the gardens have had a good chance to grow in. Good to see New getting some love again.
