"The park is now going to work on the rest of the ride's theming, and hopefully start testing late summer!"

SEAS and BGW take note.

Now this is how you theme an Intamin Blitz.

Oh, and yes they are putting a NebulaZ next to the vertical spike!

Nothing like a nice big new intamin launch coaster to increase my interest in going to France.........and Spain to sooner rather than later.

A great interview with Toutatis project manager Matthieu Galus. I love how he goes into details of the environmental impact of the project that caused its delay.

Is this pretty identical to Pantheon? It kinda looks like it is.

Is this pretty identical to Pantheon? It kinda looks like it is.

Model wise and element choice, it seems fairly similar, but the actual layout is anything but similar. The swing launch airtime hill is much bigger than Pantheon’s.

Other than the swing launch and a zero-g stall, the answer is no. Go to this post on the first page of this thread and look at the "Unique Elements" in the coaster's details.

 

[Blauer]

This ride looks like everything Pantheon should have been.

Toutatis is what happens a high quality experience is priority. Pantheon is what happens when penny pinching is priority.

Looks great. Though, the video itself... seems to be horizon leveled, albeit only partially leveled, which is admittedly an improvement. Still I'd rather have a not leveled POV.

Thank god they finally added some theming.

Wait

It's not horizon leveled but stabilized. If it was horizon level then the last inversion would've circled around the lens.

That's what I meant, but its as leveled somewhat. It's just it didn't completely level it.

Toutatis has some nice immersive theming. You can practically touch the track while waiting in line for it....

You can wait right under the top hat.

Practically in reach...

Brake run right before you enter the station.

You have a great view of the switch track in action on a footbridge.

I thought you couldn’t theme this coaster model for safety reasons. Learn something new each day.

Where did that thought come from?
