MakoMadness has a lot better footage. The hill before the MCBR is ludicrous lol. GOD if they keep it running like this.... A good shot of it at 2:48.

That was exactly what came into my mind, too! 28 riders in total, really! :shock:

Also it looks like POV footage from those testing videos. It goes through the MCBR so fast lol. I want to ride this really badly

I doubt the final ride will have the block brake set to barely touch the train like that. Should be a great ride though!

Wow, it's really hauling, especially after the MCBR! I assume it won't run that fast once the ride actually opens, but it looks great regardless.

I'm disappointed that the zero car doesn't look like it did when they revealed it.

Love the great fact that Mako has got a decent B&M fluidity and Intamin-like g-force snaps! :)

The airtime on this is going to be stronger than your average B&M. I'm going the first week of August and I'm assuming it will be open well before then :D

How many times have I heard "confirmed openings" that were delayed? Don't make me count lol. Still, I should be plenty safe haha.

Even extreme Intaminists will fall in love with this B&M! 8-)

Keep those hard wheels and brake/trim settings. Much better like this!

More testing footage! (Video by Mako Madness)



2nd half running much slower than in the testing video, but the hill after the MCBR should still provide some tasty airtime. But the 1st half seems to still be running really well!
