I think I've been around this forum way too long, I just laughed at this. I cant figure out if you're joking or not lol.

yeah I was joking

That’s downright pornographic

Looking at the top hat's picture, I can see that Asterix have a fixation on taking weird photos from underneath big structures, because it is giving me Zeus vibes:

The station is looking great.

Are we expecting Taronesque noises in the trench?

Shame that trim on the tophat is so bitey but there's plenty of speed over the airtime hill and the stall looks

This theming is brilliant

Toutatis is going to give GCE a run for its money as Europe's best new-for-2023 coaster. Theming and ride hardware look top notch!

I'd actually say the theming on Toutatis looks quite superior in my opinion! Although I'm very curious as to what the indoor queue/station at GCE will look like.

Please, please, please let that be the dispatch cue I just heard

I'm giving Toutatis the slight edge in the battle of the new Intamins.
Can't wait to see more from both!

That launch in the trench

Is that sped up? If not, that airtime hill on the swing launch... Jesus Christ

Most of the video is regular speed - that specific bit is sped up a bit.

I reckon that hill speed could well be accurate given that the similar mid-launch hill on Pantheon is apparently quite fast and offers some surprising ejector airtime.

Toutatis looks awesome! I think people are going to really like it!

Appears as though opening has been confirmed for 8th April...

That's a relief. I'm there 12 days later.
