Project 2022: Tumbili, Reptilian, Arachnidia, & Jungle X-Pedition

Can we clone you and have your clones do construction updates on every coaster in the country? Absolutely gorgeous shots.
Keep in mind that the construction crew is off until after New Year's. I assume that means they start back next Monday. The KD Blog stated they left the site last Monday or Tuesday for the holidays.
Seeing the free spin actually come to life is making me even more excited for it! Can't wait to see what the area looks like in March especially how Avalanche finally looks at the end of it.
Oh, looks like I need to get out there soon.
Modeled version of the logo I just finished up. Will hopefully end up being 3D printed and used as part of a larger project I'm working on
Alright talking in terms of like dynamics at the park…….what can we expect from lines for this thing? I assume it’s basically going to be one and done on most visits with a long slower line especially the first couple of years.
Give it a few weeks where the newness is still out there and I wouldn't be shocked if midway through the year the maximum wait for the ride is like 30 minutes even on a busier day.
I think its a very specific ride guest that will ride this, I dont see the standard coaster riders lining up for it and those that do may only ride once just to say they did.
On the other hand, the free-spinning cars and the ability for each ride to be different might give Tumbili more re-ride value than other attractions.
I mean none of those factors have hurt Tempesto so why would they be a negative here .
I can pretty much envision this will be a ride my kids want to do every visit. It may not be for everyone, but there are definitely captive audiences for this type of attraction.
Yeah I feel like it's gonna be just generally divisive if you enjoy the flipping or not. I certainly think I will never ride this thing on a Saturday unless I walk straight to it at park opening................but I'd rather just go ride Twisted Timbers. Either way if I'm in the camp of liking this thing it seems like people who like them REALLY like them overall I imagine I will ride it each visit if the line isn't pervasive. One thing I am wondering is if KD goes the Adventureland route and offer different flipping experiences on each side with one side wilder than the other. I certainly hope so!
When I think about how we traded The Crypt & Shockwave for Delirium & Tumbili I have no complaints for that trade off at all, though I did like the Crypt the few times I rode and watching it. It's sad seeing the top spins die off. But I do LOVE frisbees and roller coasters that don't cause Shockwave style pain though.

You must either have not been too bothered by the Top Spin's... Aggressive crotch bashing
I never had the pleasure of riding Shockwave. Crypt was actually a lot of fun for me!
Tempesto is a whole lot diffrent when it comes to flipping end over end while doing that small closed circut coaster. I know alot of people that will ride coasters that dont ride tea cup rides because of the spinning.
If you’ve ever been to a park with one, the line will always be long. It makes Tempesto look like quite the people eating ride.
^ah that is my fear. Well if it reduces the quantity of humans in line for Twisted Timbers fine by me.
