Wow, this announcement has me reconsidering some of my 2020 plans. Looks like it's finally time to go back to SFGAdv! I wouldn't be concerned about the longer train slowing down the pacing or anything too much. It shouldn't be any less zippy than any of the ibox conversions which all have 12 rows - ...

I think it's just the colder temps, empty trains, and lack of break-in time. I expect this to carry its speed to the end like Steel Vengeance and Twisted Timbers. Hopefully at least!

With that layout I can definitely see how this might fit the mold of something like the Intamin multi-launcher headed to Parc Asterix.

I think the three coasters together will finally be enough to get me back to SWSD for the first time in almost 20 years. I live 2 hours away and I still haven't ridden Manta or Electric Eel yet!

This coaster is shaping up really well. That first rendering won't do the end product justice at all. And I just finished firming up my fall 2019 Japan trip for which Nagshima Spa Land and Hakugei will be the finale!

I'll echo what others have said about the holding brake. Not really my thing, but non-enthusiasts will eat it up. Otherwise I think the layout and sheer scope of this thing looks great, though hopefully they finesse some of the randomness out of it by the time they finalize it.

Europa looks pretty compact, lots of layering and such (Wodan interweaves with Atlantica & Blue Fire, the monorail goes over half the park, Pegasus is right below Poseidon) It becomes quickly apparent that the park is not compact at all once you go there! :lol: I had no sense of the park's scal...

Both this and the parc asterix intamin will live and die by the real life pacing. Potentially Europe has two more coasters that will stand up to the bigger coaster in America and France and Belgium suddenly become very high on the planned trip list. The pacing of this coaster is why I'm actually mo...

My opinion could easily change once we get a video, but from these images it doesn't look like it gets as much out of the White Cyclone structure as it could have. Still ought to be one of the top RMCs though. I've been planning a Japan trip for next October/November so I'm pumped to ride this!

Great TR! Wish I could have made it out to Europe again this year. I need some more Efteling!

I don't think it's what most of us wanted, myself included, but this actually fills an open niche in the SFMM coaster lineup nicely. And I'd rather have this than see the "Viper removed for a B&M dive coaster" rumors come true. But WTF is with the OTSRs on this ride? Can't wait to hear...

So it's essentially an S&S equivalent to Full Throttle with a slightly better layout and minus the mid-course launch. Still a shorter track length than what I think a lot of us would like but I can get into it. Too bad I made my decision to finally go to SFGAm this summer. :lol: As lacking as I ...

I think this is probably the best dive coaster layout B&M has made so far. Too bad I got my first rides on Valravn last month and discovered the vests prevent me getting any airtime at all on these things. Congrats to those of you who don't share this problem

This actually looks really nice. 2019 looks like the right time to go back to Dollywood, especially since I still need my missing Lightning Rod credit!

I got to ride this 8 times on Tuesday the 19th. The high for the day was about 97F degrees if I remember correctly and TT was straight up hauling. My first two morning rides left me with the impression that it was very good, but no different than any other RMC. I grew to like it more and more as the...

^How were the wait times for you? Still have yet to hear anyone say it isn't at least very close to being their top coaster. I've got just over 1 month until I ride it.

Not literally advocating for a Taron clone. Just remarking on how Taron could so easily be even better if they let it.

And please no Soaring with Dragon vertical spike. We need a legit launch here!

Just clone it and ditch the trim brakes before the ending bunny hills. I'd take it.

I find this "let's build the weakest possible launch we can, guys!" trend really irritating. It negates the entire point of a launch in the first place, with the exception of cases where a launch is chosen because the plot of land doesn't have room for a lift. Even Intamin isn't immune to ...

After riding Time Traveler last week, I have no further issue if this turns out to be a spinner. Either Mack spinner or mega will be great for Carowinds.

Rode it twice on Saturday night for the passholder preview. While I did enjoy it, I have to amend my previous statement about Hangtime giving off Karacho vibes during early test runs. It doesn't take the initial inversions fast at all and even the one it does (cobra roll), it still just isn't an int...

I'm not really loving this one. Among Chinese wing coasters, Parrot Coaster looks a lot better.

East Coast/Midwest tour. Kings Dominion, Hersheypark, Knoebels, Waldameer, Cedar Point, Michigan's Adventure, Six Flags Great America.

^What's amazing is how that's the reaction of something like 90-95% of the riders so far. First Twisted Timbers opened with many saying that it was the craziest/most intense (if maybe not "best") RMC, now this opens and everyone's all, "Um, yeah this one's actually crazier..." As...

Much sharper pull-over than other Intamins. Shaping looks more like the recent B&M hypers and gigas. This ride is such a departure from the norm in several ways.
