A Saturn V....

WHAT THE FLYING **** HOLY ****. God damn though, I was at the park YESTERDAY and that wasn't there. Missed it by one day. Damnit. Anyways, holy **** this thing is going to be incredible. Silver Dollar City is about to have one of the best top 2s in the world.

Poop blessed by the heavens! If nothing else, at least this is clearly going to be the most spectacular spinning coaster out there. A ninety-degree drop seems really cool on a ride type that generally shies away from ninety-degree turns. Can't wait to see what the rest of it will look like, or what other parks will build something like this if Mack turns it into a catalogue coaster type.

Here is the first round of photos from today. We should have more later on today.

Better lighting on that first drop -- they also added some track back towards the station

The first inversion seems to follow that first drop. There looks to be another inversion starting there by the truck (down the hill). The straight track is probably leading to that launch building there on the left.

where is the first one you speak of i only see the one by the truck

Look right at the crane. It's hard to miss

oh from this angle it looked like either part of that crane or another crane

could this ride be the Mack dive coaster that was seen at one time or another? all the teasers are (to me at least) pointing to a dive coaster, I know a lot of the assumption was a spinning coaster but this drop and the design so far looks almost like a dive coaster.

The issue with it JUST being a dive coaster is that the park has stated there will be a lot of "firsts" - what "firsts" are there left to do with dive coasters?

First 90 degree drop out of the station on a dive coaster?

I haven't seen a lift yet and usually at this level of construction there is usually a lift started, perhaps the first launched dive coaster?

Doesn't HELIX do that?

I think it's safe to say this isn't your normal coaster construction project.

Nope

 

[Swoosh]

Meh so it's not 90°. It's still a drop out of the station.

Helix isn't a dive coaster, either.

Who cares about what the actual 'world's first' elements are, anyway? This is going to be an amazing ride regardless.

 

[Swoosh]

Helix isn't a dive coaster, either.

Yep. And neither is this.

Last I checked Helix was not a dive coaster.

EDIT: Should've read below.

what if the "holding brake" area is actually to unlock spinning.

First inversion is complete. It's a dive loop that rotates to the riders' left and exits towards ThuNeraTion's swoop after the tunnel
