I love the silly name upgrade. Sounds very Japanese-cliché to do such a thing. I might not be so fond of the Top Hat removal but keeping (and improving!) the insane launch should be the biggest news :)

People are clutching at straws with the launch. If it is actually any faster it's by such a small amount that it won't feel any different and doesn't make up for losing that top hat.

They were stupid not to go slightly bigger with the loop and claim the proper record. "Biggest diameter"? Please.

Ugh...just wondering how savage the inevitable trims going into that loop are going to be. Although it would be very Fuji-Q-esque to just let the train rail into it untrimmed and pull 7.5 Gs...

Last post was 5/3 so I'm sure there is something new by now, has it tested yet?

A picture showing the trains in their new livery... and new restraints. Say goodbye to the old lapbars, and welcome to the OTSR...

Some more testing on the loop too, which has trims before the entrance:



No insane Top Hat, OTSR added and trims before the loop. I know the launch is still awesome but I can't help being a little disappointed about this. Oh well I'm not going to ride this anytime soon anyway :p

EDIT: Dat launch though <3

I mean, the removal of the top hat and the addition of the OTSRs should really make me hate this, but I just can't.

They also added trims before the loop. Do you hate it now?

Glad to see this launch still counts as one of the most breathtaking coaster experiences ever!

The loop though? Hard to tell, but looks nowhere as epic as the vertical Top Hat with ridiculous airtime :(

They even ****ed up the trains. It isn't pick with white dots so it isn't as fancy as it was.

The new trains and lightening effects look great, the launch still looks amazing but it is heartbreaking to watch the POV and not see the incredible top hat.
