Great find Andy! Looked so typically German back then, and interesting to see that it had different trains originally.

Well it had a much smoother finish. Have PWH altered it - took out a break run perhaps!?

I remember the blue track well. When it first arrived at PWH it lay at the bottom of the car park on drums being painted brown..... 1994/1995 winter

Great find! It's good to see the ride before. I liked what PWH did with it originally, they made it look half decent when it was CBX.

Is it just me, or does the lift speed seem incredibly fast in that video?

The lift looks a lot faster, but the actual rides doesn't, if you get what I mean.

Yeah the lift hill is more speedy, and i actually think the ride seems slightly quicker, or at least smoother (as do the brakes) than present, but then we are talking 15odd years ago!

 No I dont sorry, I was around 12 years old at the time and me and my friend Richard use to bike up there every night in the summer and watch them paint and construct the ride. Great memories
