I will never forgive them for inventing Comfort Collars on Tempesto.

Glad to see the Big Bad Wolf color scheme continues to be carried forward. Hopefully we get some accenting beyond just black, but I'm glad the trains are at least primarily black.
How dare you wish for more! Why can’t you just be happy with what we got! #BBW2
I would love to see that wonderfully dated 80's yellow and red stripes. IDK what it is with that color scheme but for some reason it just exudes the period. Also, Germany.
I'd like to see them bring back the wolf eyes that were on the original 1980s cars.
I hope they can figure out a nod to the original trains, but I'm not sure what they can do beyond some slight yellow & red accents on some pieces. There's not really any bodywork to put long stripes/eye decals on.
Also, from this video update and photo, all the track in the back half is installed! The brake run before Lift 2 is staged, so that's probably already installed by now too. Exciting!

Wtf lol I didn't notice that in any if the videos. That explains why some of the supports look so high with no track on it yet. Im like "well thats pretty high when the rest of the installed track is already to the ground"
Yes it needs the second lift to clear the train track and return to the station
Ohh so not as as big as the 1st? I feel like a small launch would be more efficent than a lift. 2024 and we gotta design 2 lifts to get back to the station seems like some RCT stuff. Weird
I guess the double lift thing could also me an homage to the original BBW.
Possibly but OG BBW had to climb that hill to get a bigger drop. This just sounds like its needed to clear a 10ft train and back to station.
Im no designer but surely they coulda made the lift a little taller and extend the back area some and fit a small launch. 2nd lift just ruin the momenteum
The seats will be similar to these? That's a bummer, I was hoping for the enclosed ones like the original BBW.
It seems they wanted to keep it low to the ground and have lower max top speed. It does feel like a small booster launch could have worked if it's possible to mix the lift hardware with launch fins.. It would have been cool if the 2nd lift could be enclosed and themed to tell the story.
The second lift is also a huge reason why this ride will run two trains.
Eh, without the swinging, enclosed vehicles would be a bland experience, although changing up the heartlining would separate it from all the generic heartlined stuff. At least we'll get some possible footchopper effects with B&M's bog-standard invert trains.

It's also fighting terrain on It's climb back to the station. Also I am not sure what clearance it needs over the train to insure there are no issues with the steam coming out of the stack and riders my guess is that is considerably more then the clearance that some are thinking of and given the incline issues I don't think the train can coast past like it does in other areas where guests are over head.
My understanding is that baring weather or other delays it is expected that the track will be full circuit before the end of Christmas Town which is pretty impressive given the late start.
