I've really enjoyed the build up to this - it has been, with risk of sounding cliche, an utter roller coaster! Since the opening date was announced as May I booked this weekend at the hotel, and thank god I did! No doubt the coaster will experience bouts of down time, but I'm now hopeful that I will get my fix this weekend.

I shall be tweeting my journey, so feel free to follow me - link in my sig

Beat me to posting it, so I'll just post this...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!

It's not open to the public yet!

Give it an hour or two.

First preview riders

Smile. Always.

I love the motion of the thing - the way it slows at the apex/top of the loop.
