If someone wanted to call the Flying Aces loop inverting, I wouldn't stop them. The heartline entry looks nearly identical to B&M wing coaster dive drops, which we do consider an inversion.
As for tallest loop - well we only really track tallest vertical loop (currently Full Throttle at 160 ft/49 m). If Ferrari were to consider the loop an inversion, they could actually claim it to be the tallest inversion in the world (tying Gatekeeper, which also measures 170 ft/52 m).
To say it's the tallest loop? Yeah, you could qualify that. I just get the feeling that there is a very purposeful reason to not call this an inverting loop, as the case could easily be made otherwise.

Not to be picky but Lightning is the tallest vertical loop at 50m
Unless you don't count it unless its open.. then Full Throttle is for another week or so.

OK,
Here we go.
these are construction photos that I took 2 weeks ago. The park asked me not to post them until a local newspaper had done an exclusive.
I have waited and have not had any response from the park so here are the photos.
I will be down there again on sunday so will update with more then

Cheers Dave.
Corkscrew is real, 2nd to last element, fantastic! On both the initial drop and the heartloop the track goes below street level and there isn't much clearance so unfortunately what Andrus says about standard trains looks to be correct.
Loads of overbanks and airtime, can't wait to see some testing shots.

Such a good mix of elements from what I can see. I'm not worthy.

Well, I don't know why we shouldn't trust the Intamin official I asked. He should know, and I don't see any reason for him to lie (then better to just not say anything at all).DelPiero said:
But what speaks for winged trains is the double catwalk along the lifthill, which is present on Skyrush as well. Can't remember any other Intamin with a double catwalk?

Wow! This looks great!
And the SFX coaster actually is happening. I wouldn't've expected that.

It's been manufactured sine what? March? It's just now showing up. I thought the project was dead.
