Re: Busch Gardens Tampa | Cobra’s Curse | Mack spinning coas
I absolutely adore this! - It looks great and I think the backwards part and the spinning only adds to it.
I like what they're saying, about it sorta being in 3 chapters, first facing forward, then backwards and then free spin. - That system has potential to be a great tool in storytelling, whether or not Busch Gardens is utilizing that, I'm not sure...
Only thing I dislike slightly is the length of the ride and how it seems to throw a lot of energy away when it hits the first MCBR.

Yeah, I actually enjoy spinners as well. This'll be a great addition to the park. It'll be a nice stepping stone for thrill seekers in training. Really want to go to Florida now!

So far I found that the Maurer spinners - like Tarantula at Parque De Attraciones De Madrid - are spinnier than the Mack spinners - like at Linnanmaki. But honestly this will be a new size dimension for spinning coasters and am eager to see how it turns out.

Uhhh Linnanmaki has a Maurer spinner too. The only recent Mack spinners in Europe are at Le Pal and Toverland

I will admit the tower is weird. I feel like the weird elements and the new type of spinning trains were enough without it needing the weird lift tower as well. (Edit: I suppose the gerst spinners are similar otherwise though.) Will stay optimistic as I like the rest of it. The lift won't affect the rest of the ride after all (as long as it isn't a maintenance nightmare).

Nothing to say about the coaster apart from the track is complete, but the Tidal Wave is closing if anyone's interested.

To relieve you from the drought of testing videos.

You can't actually see much at all, but the shots from the train are great as due to being so close you begin to realise what it will feel like to be at the path area around the ride (which is one of my favourite things about the coaster, that there is a lot of interaction with paths and terrain.)
