CrashCoaster
CF Legend
Looks awesome! The lift hill is surprisingly loud and slow though, especially for an Intamin.
I'd like to see it take the course at a higher speed as well, but it just ran it's first full circuit the other day. I imagine it'll hit it's stride before long. As for the hill before the overbank- I think promotional materials referred to it as a floater hill. Looks to be by design. The hill immediately after the drop was touted as the ejector hill, and that looks like a spot-on description. My hope for this coaster is that it'll sustain it's speed from drop to brakes. I wonder if the bulkier 4-across trains will have their say as to whether or not that is the case.It looks good. Just good.
For some reason, it seems too clinical...too lab developed...too refined. The first drop, the second hill, and the twist-and-dive look fantastic, but after that it seems to lose a bit of luster. That camelback prior to the overbanked turn seems off paced. I bet it provides more of a floater airtime instead of the strong ejector that everyone is clearly expecting. Hopefully the low to the ground nature of the figure eight really enhances the sense of speed through that section.
And with that...bring on your pitchforks and torches!
