I was wondering that but I came to the conclusion it's a capacity thing. The turntable has 2 tracks so as soon as the turntable rotates and the other one slots into place the preceding block is then clearJust booked in for opening day... (and a day either side.)
Not actually blown away as such by anything I've seen so far, including the ugly metal lattice tower that people are drooling over because they added some disco lights, but will wait until I see it in person, photos probably don't do it justice.
Layout looks fun, just hope the turntable doesn't kill the experience... Why would they go with a turntable instead of working in a switch track like Intamin? It looks incredibly slow (the turntable that is.)
Anyway, wasn't expecting a lot from LG and ended up loving it, so fingers crossed.
While the first train goes through any little show sequence and then does the rocking launch another train can be heading towards the turntable through the preceding track.
On the Intamin version the block before the rocking launch isn't clear until the train clears tophat and the track switch can rotate back into position.
With Voltron having 7 trains I guess having that block clear and being able to have a train in it while another runs through the launches makes quite a difference.
