SW5

Hey, does anyone know what's goin on with SW5 at AT? I've heard that it's supposed to be a B&M dutchman, but has that been confirmed yet? Also, does anyone have any pictures, or know any sites that have any good pics??? Thanks an oodle.
I saw some pictures of ground construction at some site (no track or anything, just building the tunnels and trench for the ride). So obviously it is a go.

Australia's No.1 Coaster Nut
thanks man, but does anyone have any more recent photos than march 2001, cuz I'm sure that a lot has happened within the past month.
Better photos: http://www.world-of-coasters.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/sw5.html Not as recent though.

To be honest not a lot will happen structure wise untill the close season, and the ground work is a slow process if they are to get it right. I was there three weeks ago and two days ago and there was no real difference on site other then the tunnel opening by the nemesis brake run and final helix.
Does anyone know the layout. I am reallly curious about this coaster and i am not positive on how i am supposed to think of when i hear B&M flying coaster.

Hey, I posted this a long time ago. I was just wondering if anyone knew how this coaster was coming along. I don't think it's open yet, is it?
First of all It is a B&M Prone Coaster, it has one MAJOR difrence from the Flying Dutchmans, When you load/unload the track is ABOVE you. And Pulls you up into the flying position. It looks sweet! :) Here are sketches of how it will work: http://www.sw5online.ic24.net/designs.htm
