To be fair, we don't know what Hot Racer launch track footers look like at ground level yet. They might indeed be Gerstlauer style, we just don't have a real world example yet. The amount of supports on the sole existing Hot Racer's launch seems in line with the dense amount of linear footers...

I'm not entirely sure that it's a new track gauge TBH. To me, that looks the same width as Hyperion. But all-new trains is almost a guarantee. This is from the initial artwork/animation posted years ago: I highly doubt it will look exactly like this, but general assumptions made off this: 2x2...

First: OH MY WORD ITS HAPPENING* Second: I would indeed assume it's all that color. I like it honestly. *being constructed, opening & project completion not guaranteed 😂

If papers have been signed & manufacturing has started on the Tilt, that'd be a very easy flip & sell. Not sure if it's made it to that stage yet. The Infinity, however, would be tough IMO. Super odd layout, the stall over the road, and the hillside aspect on the spike end; I feel like that...

^Not entirely sure of the legality of airspace, but the zoomed-in pictures taken from a drone/airplane from over the water seem to be fine. Would almost guarantee those most recent ones (of the cofferdam work) over the site were not legally obtained lol.

Likely. Noticed it especially lately, but official park-run social media pages are usually a few days behind "current" progress that the YouTube channel/vlogger video type update pages provide.

The theory that Zamperla is behind the project is just that, a theory. But a decently compelling one at that. 'Evidence' for it is: -They are actively overhauling a different Intamin hydraulic launch coaster (Senzafiato), turning it into an LSM coaster, -The debut video of their new Lightning...

Doing some very iffy measurements of the proposed station, I believe the length of this 9-row train will be somewhere around 52ft long. In my mind, that excludes an Intamin Straddle coaster, as a 9-car train would be far longer than 52ft. 9 sets of air gates is certainly interesting. Each gate...

Great! Glad you feel that way. I gave my evidence for why I claimed (true) that it was sped up. Next! Can't wait to ride this. That headchopper during the launch looks otherworldly. Also love the little statue guys under the final inversion! 😆

It could be altered to show what it WILL look like once at optimal conditions, that's a fair theory. But I doubt it would speed up 3 second's worth in that swing launch section. I can't tell where the speeding up starts exactly, because the first inversion looks concerningly slow at 0.8x speed...

^Watch it at "normal" speed. Look at the cars on the highway when it crests the tophat and tell me that's not edited. Edit: Time it yourself with a stopwatch. The train in the POV travels from the stall-out point (the top of the first 'swing') to the top of the tophat in ~16 seconds. The train...

That looks VERY good. Too good almost...... to the point that I'm 95% sure the video is sped up. Watch it at 0.85x playback speed, I think that's the actual correct speed (at least from the swing launch to the end of the ride).

Was not expecting a shopping cart to be the method of holding loose articles😂😂

Ooh, good eye! I believe that's the old (or a new iteration of) Dive Pretzel concept trains: https://i.redd.it/e52o0kulj4t61.jpg

Let's say, hypothetically...

Lightning Rod - 29 laps (5 zen) Taron - 26 (22 during the 1hr hotel ERT in 2018) Ride to Happiness - probably 15 laps and the most degenerate entry... Hurler (KD) - 42 laps.

A ton of factors play into that. The park could have either specifically requested that feature, or liked it enough to purchase it when Intamin pitched it to them. Keeping the same tophat height, but with no trims, requires larger elements later on, which in turn requires more physical space...

Yes... that is the entire purpose, to create a "cliffhanger drop" effect. They didn't just add trims willy nilly because it was going too fast, it is intentional and the rest of the layout is designed proportionally to this.

No meme, that's actually slow as 💩. I UNDERSTAND that there are a lot of variables here (High of only 55°F in Madrid during that video, it still being the initial test runs, wheels aren't broken in yet, potentially minimal launch speed, etc.), but that speed right there looks actually sad. More...
