Wow, that actually looks really fun, even if it's a little short.

A little short? Very short[;)] It's a fun concept, but I think it maybe would have benefited of a longer lay out. I'm going there in July, so I'll guess I find out then.

Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

Most prototypes/concepts are one trick ponies in my opinion.

I mean, look at Oblivion & G5 - and how they've evolved into what Shirika and Griffon are.

Looks like much more compact layouts can be used in comparison especially to 4D coasters. This would be beneficial to smaller parks, especially as in the UK space isn't always in abundance.

Personally i think with the right application this could be quite a decent ride.

i can see this going to be either a cheap ride for smaller parks or would like to see a travel version.
i love the concept of this ride and i could see a dark ride of this taking up little room in a corner of a park somwhere. could go far but i dought the design will be pushed as much as others.

still a very nice concept

This kind of design face many of the restraints as the Togo Heartline coaster. Still has more potential though, as we have seen from some suggested lay-outs.

From what I see, that last hill should have a pretty nice pop of air. I don't know if this will face what the Togos faced though. I believe it could turn if the track were made that way.

Haha, I love that thing! Wish I could ride it though...But I hope they keep upgrading and inventing new ways to use it, I'd love to see something like it at a decent size, because that does look pretty fun!

That just has to be fun! But IMO it's way to short. And it could use a lounch, like in the RCT3 game.

I've been on that! [:D] It has really good airtime and feels very weird. It is very compact because "Linnanm?????????ki"(the park were Kirnu is) is very small so there is not very much space...

I have also been on it, and I can tell: it really is worth it! Although the ride lasts only for like 10 seconds, the experience is awesome! I really hope they will evolve into something cool.

The are also a very good option for parks with small space.

I like the idea, but that looks a little crappy tbh, it would be very easy to build longer ones in an almost "out and back" fashion. Although whether that kind of completely negates the point of the ride is perhaps to be contested, but even so, i guess they could just build further and further upwards and therefore have more elements on the way back down.
