    That lift hill is going to be so high. Look how long that support structure continues. Looks like they're going to add a lot more up, then come down much steeper

    this hill does not appear to be higher than the original... it will really be racing up over that!

    something I just thought of... Maybe they are building a new structural piece for the top of the lift hill that might be similar to Goliath? That could explain why construction has stalled (no pun intended) on the lift hill... maybe they are waiting on those pieces to be manufactured.

    eh, this one doesn't excite me as much. ready for more! Why leave all of that "extra" support?

    Oh sure, its not over till its over. But if we don't see one soon, the chances of seeing any keep getting smaller. Rides with inversions typically don't waste time getting there. But, this is theoretically going to be a long ride, so it has more time than most to work with.

    From what we saw happen in the first turn, It's hard to guess the geometry of those ledgers and most of us were wrong, but I think the way they are slammed to one side like that might indicate an inversion. There is a bunch of support on the other side. They could still attach inverted ledgers...

    The most intense/most surprising airtime hill I've ever ridden is the one near the beginning of Maverick. It's small, but that ride gave me and EDUCATION on what makes a roller-coaster fun. I've never ridden an RMC, so I'm watching this one with a lot of interest.

    hmm. Kinda underwhelming. I thought it would pull down much harder/steeper. Yes, gonna need a TON of speed to make this feel as wild they likely plan it to be.

    I just hope its a normal, easy to read name by looking at it. Rugaru and Valravan... Just theme it well together with Maverick and Frontier Town and us Americans will love it. lol

    geometry is a crazy thing. those steel pieces are placed so strangely!

    It would be cool if it continued to twist down. The bummer is that future photos will need to be taken from another angle. We've been fortunate that construction thus far has been near a road where quick pics are apparently easy to get. We might not see much after this, but we still have the...

    I'm just trying to get a general idea on the height scale of the ride. Since this is the highest hill we've seen topped off, we can start to more accurately speculate on the first hill. Lets just say it went from 123 to 150... that's about 22% higher. If the first hill gets the same scale, 161...

    ITS... SO... BIG... Any estimates on how high this hill is? 150ft? taller? Via Wikipedia, the first wave turn used to be 123ft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_Streak#Ride_experience

    Looks like they have "finished" the taller supports for that first turn and the shape has been made. Doesnt look like its going to be anything too fancy, but definitely higher and steeper on entry.
