The ejector you're gonna get on that drop will be orgasmic.

I was just thinking that, like, I can't even imagine. And that with the B&M clamshells and seatbelts <3
I fixed your typo. :wink:

Yeah, its about 10 stories taller right? The direction of that picture makes it look a lot bigger tho.

Yeah. I was looking at the webcam today and I appreciate the fact that they've rotated the camera to follow the construction, so that's cool.

That transition will make for some interesting negative g's!
Looking at the webcam, the turn is almost complete and starting down to the next section already. I want to say the turn is around half the height of the first hill, you're gonna be hauling ass around that thing.

Kings Island, take note. It is possible to turn a park entrance from zero to hero.

^ I'm pretty sure it's the program's automatic scream sound. But if it wasn't, then it sure would mean that CF caught the "perfect scream" sound.

You could do a few things.. but with the current setup, you can't do much.

You COULD move the entrance outward, as there is plenty of space that you could work with. However, where to put the station would have a lot to do with it. If you do it on one side, it would be in the kiddy section

While the other side would be in the ActionZone, with about 2 dozen coasters already but with space (forest, parking lots, older rides). Of course, you could move it to another location but where? It is kind of iconic to walk right out into the main midway.

Could they potentially syart it a bit further back from the entrance and have the turnaround be over and around the front entrance, similar to how Goliath@SFoG does? Like, it starts over near Beast and Diamondbac while having the turn around enter and leave from beneath it the front entrance? Would that potentially work?

It could dive underneath on the Kiddie area side, then hop up into a hammerhead or Ampersand before diving back down and re-emerging over near stinger before heading back.
