L'Anse aux Meadows as told to Canadian children through educational ads that aired during daytime programming due to laws surrounding advertising to children:

Basically, Vikings did land in Canada, but not in what would eventually become New France, and their conflict was with Indigenous populations, not with settlers (who obviously came centuries later).

You all are forgetting that all bgw coasters are based on myth and legend. Its the *mythical* french canadian vikings.

Quite meta, actually, as it is a myth that there was ever a substantial myth around Viking invasions of that area in the first place.

This approach opens up a ton of possibilities for other hamlets!

Shooooot let’s send the Vikings to Pompeii. Don’t change the date or anything, the Vikings are raiding an archeological dig of Pompeii.

Seems like the perfect time to drop this reference:

That’s exactly what I said a page back!

InvadR was running only 1 train with only 2 operators again today.

Best part was that they had the quick queue row blocked off and didn’t bother to fill the seats when no one was in the quick queue.
Basically running the 1 train they had only at ~90% capacity at best.

Think I learned hard today that InvadR is absolutely a back row coaster. I’ve had two front row rides finally lately and I probably would enjoy them a lot more if Texas Stingeay wasn’t so fresh in my brain. I recognize InvadR is first foremost a family coaster but man the forces are not there in the front compared to the back on this one.

 

[CoasterAuditor]

Got my first night ride last night in the back row. Definitely my favorite ride on InvadR I’ve had for sure. It was also lightly raining while we were on the ride so it was definitely an experience.

Invadr is getting faster and more intense as it ages.

 

[CoasterAuditor]

^I second that comment the last turn is becoming pretty full of positives in the back row I’ve noticed. I feel like it like gets me “pre-grey out” at the bottom.

The little hill before the last helix is INCREDIBLE.

 

[horsesboy]

That drop might not be all that tall but there is something about it's angle that makes it rank right up there with Nessie and Apollo for best first drop In my opinion.

 

[Mwe BGW]

Yeah it also gives really good airtime for a family coaster.

I was riding Invadr yesterday and I just realized that the music that plays at the end of the ride sounds just like the music used at Axe Alley. Can anyone confirm this?

Yea, I think it’s the same

Yes it is, It also played in Banbury during Halloween Harvest last year

 

[AlpenChrist97]

One of my best I think...

 

[SLC Headache]

I realize it's tightly intertwined with two other rides, but could there be room for, say, a few village buildings along the sides or something? That would go a long way in making this feel landscaped and themed.

Invadr is only running one train today, really slow operations. Is the other train getting maintenance?
