Tis a great layout from Zierer and twist in the vertical drop will sure throw a lot of people off. Hopefully it'll speed up as it wears in as the first POV with the teat car looked quite slow indeed.

Looks very good!

Looks nice so far. Can't wait to see the ride after a little of wear and tear on those wheels. It should speed up by a lot.

ELYSBURG, Pa. ?????? A worker at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Pennsylvania was hurt on Thursday when he was struck by a roller coaster during testing for the new attraction.
Knoebels told WNEP the worker was struck by the Impulse roller coaster while crews tested the new attraction.
Officials said the worker was awake and talking when he was taken to a hospital.
The incident apparently happened in an area that is not open to park guests.
Impulse is a new steel tower coaster with over 2,000 feet of track and will reach speeds of 55 miles per hour. The ride is expected to open this summer.

I wonder how the hell he got hurt. Apparently it's pretty hard to stay away from dangerous areas when a ride is still testing...

Should be a decent ride once it breaks in a bit. Cobra looks a little slow but it should speed up.

I have to agree there. Some bits of the ride had slow pacing, but hopefully it will be faster once the wheels break in.

Will the lift speed up when it gets to normal operation? Seems awfully slow at the moment and that would aid the pacing a lot.

Apparently the ride is pretty smooth - looks like a good win for Zierer!

I love all parts where the ride twists slowly!
