It's not nearly as steep as usual, only around 90* give or take instead of 115* so I image it will be.
To be honest, the beyond vertical drop, on Mumbo Jumbo at least, isn't as fun as it looks, especially as it's trimmed. Or maybe my anger after waiting in a 30 minute queue due to poor operations affected my enjoyment of the ride. Certainly wasn't as fun as I thought it was last time I visited. :|

Looks like a good ride it gives Vegas a New Roller coaster.
When you've been running off a TOGO inverting hyper and Arrow looper for the past forever and a half, I would assume that it's nice to have some sort of variety. Some sort of kink-in-the-track El Loco variety.


Posted while reading your mind.
 
The track is now complete. I've linked just a couple of images that are the more interesting of the track.

The final brake run starts about half way up the half loop.

This outwardly banked turn leads directly into the diving loop finale.

Is there any kind of layout picture of this yet?

Really wish they'd change the glass on the Adventuredome too, such gross light.
 
There's no actual layout photo, but if you look at all the photos together, you get a very good idea. Like the ones below:

So the biggest differences is that after the second MCBR it has an outwardly banked right turn, into an inline and half loop instead of the gradient inline, overbank and bunny hop.

This one is on Adventuredome's website. Not a real photo, of course. :lol:

So word is that it is having issues making it through the course if it is fully stopped at the midcourse during testing.
 
^ Operationally speaking, yes but in terms of construction at the moment, there's one being built at Yomiuriland that features a totally custom layout too.
 
I thought you might have been unnecessarily harsh, then I watched the video.

Wow. I hope that turns out better than it looks right now, because that looks like a dud compared to the original layout.
