Just wondering, what LSM launches has Vekoma manufactured lately? The only ones I can think of are Rockin Rollercoaster and Xpress. I know these are older, but I am having a hard time thinking of a Vekoma LSM/LIM at all
Still won't give us a good video.... but this is at least a little more than I've seen yet. To me, it looks like it holds some pretty good speed through the loop and could end up being decently forceful in my opinion...

Maverick in the front seat. The way you get pushed over the drop and the airtime hills is crazy.......The back seat is good too, but I prefer the front seat much more.
Not sure if it really counts, but the older Premier launch coasters can be very loud. Probably not as loud as some others, but Flight of Fear at KI is really loud when it launches out of the station especially since it is all enclosed and the sound just echos. Now I have never heard Superman...

If they do, it would only be for the first few years. Same thing happened with Backlot Stunt Coaster. When it opened there were water jets that sprayed to make it look like a splash. After a few years those were gone, and now the area doesn't...

What I noticed by watching the videos is why isn't there a brake run? That wouldn't be something they would leave out of the videos would it? Anyways, really looking forward to the ride I think the new trains will make it much better since...
Many times on Diamondback i have left an extra click for more airtime, and the ride op hasn't ever pushed it down so that it is tight. Now, it also isn't a big enough space that it could be a safety concern, so that might be why they don't push it down.
Re: Kings Island | "Unknown" | "Unknown"
There is a chance that there could be a twisting drop. Outside of what will be the station area, there are quite a few footers in a small area. These COULD be for a twisting drop or an inversion. Unfortunately, i do not have a picture of the area.
Re: Kings Island | "Unknown" | "Unknown"
Crazy thought. Why hasn't B&M ever built anything with more than one lift hill? If this would be the longest of its kind why not build one with 2 lift hills? And if its the biggest investment in KI history it should be VERY large considering that...
Re: Kings Island 2014 Roller Coaster
I would rather it be a giga instead of an invert as well. I recently rode Raptor (in the middle of the car and towards the back of the train) and i couldnt see anything. Also, a giga would help the appearance of the park from outside.
Re: Kings Island 2014 Roller Coaster
Was just at KI today. There are at least 4 or 5 triangular footers. Its interesting to see so many since ive never seen or heard of them in the past.
