I went to the Jardin d'Acclimatation today to check the progress. Apparently they do not want anyone to take pictures, so I'll refrain to share any.
... any except this one, because oh my you can't imagine how hyped I am to see this truck almost in my backyard! (Jardin is less than 10km away from my home)
I was also greeted by some appealing
black track and
black supports put in place with some nice curves already.
Moreover,
RCDB says the ride will have both a traditionnal chain lift (12m tall), and a booster wheel lift - can we expect a mini-launch such as Van Helsing? This project is definitely worth following. I can't wait to discover the layout and the theming (steampunk-inspired, the station has lattices in it, like the Expo 1900).
EDIT: It seems to be a tradition down here, so... No pictures allowed = a NoLimits recreation!
Here is what I saw. The parts in black were up (that's the real color), and the parts in red weren't there, but that's most likely what the layout will do so it's for visualisation purposes (it won't be red in real life):
It's basically a large swooping first drop into a large turn, and then at the apex of the later, the radius is reduced into two smaller curves:
I think it should be an interesting motion, almost like a "dive" into the smaller radius. It's hard to explain and hard to get in NoLimits... But I'm looking forward to that.
Nor station or supports are accurate.
There were a few other turns closer to the ground that were up, but it was difficult to see so at the moment I have no idea how to include them spatially.
