i hate optical illusions

^ LOLOLOL, i was thinking the same thing!!! That first pic had me like, WTF!?!?!

[Coasterkidmwm]

Do you all seriously think they'd screw something like that up?

They didn't think they screwed it up. ^ They thought the brakes were slanted the other way, and that steep thing was the entry.

^ well, not quite, i knew the whole ride layout, but if you look at the first pic, it SERIOUSLY looks like the MCB really looks like its going up. If you look back at my other posts, I stated that I was wrong in the beginning and I knew that the steep thing was the exit.

WOW! That steep hill is a descent. I just freaking watched the YouTube video of the ride! It clearly shows the train going down the drop.

^ the first picture is awesome!

Wow, I love the 3rd picture, that part looks really fun! what is that, the finale?

I'm not sure if this has been said or not...but does anybody know how many trains are going to be running?

[hyyyper]

7 trains according to rcdb.com, rumors speak of a triple station.

triple!?!?! what in the hell is the point of that? are we talking 2 stations like all the BM flyers, and an unloading station? cuz if thats what it is then wow, capacity rates are just gonna skyrocket.

no.. three loading stations^

I hope this ride is open by April!

hold on. im confused, so basically the thing is gonna load 3 trains at the same time, then let all 3 go like on test track?

Theres probably some type of transfer track section, kind of like Kingda Ka, only there's 3 instead of 2? Not too sure.

If they are going to do something like that, it would probably move onto a piece of strait track, then line up with the lift, the go up the lift, and the track would line itself up with another station.

This ride looks awesome. I hope it'll be featured in the Tournament.

Going to be quite sick!

[hyyyper]

Wow, that's just amazing.
I wonder what the experience will be like. Will it be twist-pause-twist, or will it have some serious speed so that it feel like an inverted ZeroG...

^It's not going to pause. Roller coasters don't just work like that

Haha, I think he meant that it'll go through it slowly, not pause. If it does have a lot of speed though, that's going to be a ton of ejector air. Look at the third picture on that site, damn!
