Planet Coaster - Aerobats of Arabia (Part 1) - Dueling S&S Free Fly 

I just finished the video and man - I love your archtiecture lessons! My history-geek ass loves every bit of it! And this story of the stroch khalif is beautiful as well. I'm excited to see this project proceed! 🤩

Interesting, int he version I read, the wizrd was the uncle of the usurper. The usurper ends up turned into a stork while his wizard uncle get hanged. Also the vizier and Caliph laught over two stroks practiving a mating dance. And finaly once restord to human, the Caliph marry the owwl princess (who is from india). Small differences, same tale tho.

i like how its a powder they have to snort

Type: bird.

Another commenter pointed that out too, I was mistaken :) I love it though, happy to be wrong on that one!

@@Silvarret yeah it looks like an amazing ride, would love to ride it someday.

I just came back from a holiday in Orlando and had a chance to ride Velocicoaster. Tbh, I didn't really get immersed. They did a good job on the theming overal. The coaster covers quite a bit of space in the park. The biggest effort is the queue, which had quite a bit of diversity. At the end of the queue they basically told you the story about you going through the enclosures to race raptors. But riding it, t didn't feel like I was going through enclosures per se. I didn't even see the raptors next to the track while riding it 😂 It was mainly trees, bushes, gray walls and steel. But maybe the ride goes too fast to appreciate what's going on. I really like rides like BTM and Jurrasic Park River Adventure. Both those rides go a lot slower, so you can look at all the details. However I'm very sure that Velociraptor has got way less theming compared to the other mentioned rides. What also doesn't help to set the ride apart is that it is located in a park in Orlando. You see tropical trees and bushes all day, every day. Maybe the effect/immersion would be a lot more impactful if the ride would be in another park. About the ride itself, I was a bit disappointed. I love me some agressive Intamin and RMC rides! But I expected/hoped it to be more intense. No doubt this coaster is a major it with the GP! But for me, after doing so many rides over all these years, I guess it's a bit of a "been there, done that" 🙂 The G-forces weren't really hitting that hard, and the layout wasn't really inspired. The majority of the ride is quite dull. The first half is mainly a lot of twists and turns at a lower pace. The second part you just go in a big circle ... twice. Yay. There are cool/fun elements in the ride, but they're sadly not good enough to compensate for the rest of the layout. I almost want to mention that the trains made a loud rattling noise when I was there. It's like some plastic parts of the train were a bit loose. It was quite annoying. The ride itself was smooth, though!

I had no idea, clearly, I've only seen POV's - you got me! I love that. Now I want to ride it even more.

That's the coaster that inspired me to do the back-to-back track section on this coaster! I wouldn't dare think it'd be possible otherwise, but Intamin showed that it can be done. So cool!
