It looks bloody fantastic. I'm staggered at the speed of it, and I think hadn't really appreciated how it was going to dive back through itself. Amazing. I mean, Steel Vengeance still looks better though.

Semantics. ;) You could, but the shape of the element to go from -0.5G to -1G would look like this (train shown both normal and inverted through the element): You could so something like you suggest, but you'd very quickly get into the realms of discomfort. For the forces to managed...

When you're hanging upside-down on a Screaming Squirrel you're experiencing -1G. It's the same force feeling you'd get on one of Skyrush's-1G hills. The reason Skyrush's hill 'feels' more forceful is all those rate-of-change things we've talked about in great length before. If you want an...

Given the hype, I reckon someone would have seen/heard something. This isn't 1998 Alton Towers anymore. ;)

@Ethan is basically right as to why I don't bother commenting anymore. Your threads and more like portfolio galleries than discussion threads. I mean, you didn't answer my question in this very thread. If it doesn't "make sense" for you to reply to me on a question like that, then... eh. But...

Agreed! It's ****! :p Great write up of the day, sounds awesome. I gotta get myself to another of these big USA Lives. Not that I don't love the smaller ones I've done over the years, but getting more attendees is the USA is exciting!

@Coaster Chall YouTube - this is the second time you've done this is about 24hrs. Please try to read the posts above yours in a thread before posting 'news'. It's frustrating to keep having the topic pulled back like this.
