But none of that really hits here so it's okay.

HOLY CRAP!!! This coaster is just reeking of epicness, I so hope I can take my dream coaster trip this summer. Canada's Wonderland is sounding better and better now.

The distance between the lift and hammerhead makes the hammerhead look so much taller.

lol You know Dragon Fire is pwned when the FINAL brake run of Leviathan is taller than Dragon's entire entity.

And the bigger spine on the lift makes the lift look alot closer than it actually is.

<3 how the spine continues into the ground, the same color as the track. It actually confused me at first when I saw it from the side.

In picture 5, are the nearly horizontal grey poles a last minute addition or were they supposed to be painted on site and someone forgot?

^ I think I read somewhere that they were temporary braces for when the drop was being built and would be removed sometime during testing.

It seems like it kinda drags over the two tall hills.

^Are you kidding!? That's a perfectly graceful glide! More than can be said about a lot of B&M airtime hills! That's going to have glorious floater airtime.


Keep a close eye on the back row as the train goes over the first drop.... in real life that drop's going to seem to last for ages!

The first hill seemed to be slower than the second, but it also could just be the angle of the shot (track being nearly parallel to the camera angle and such). It just looked a tad too slow right at the tip of the crest.

However, I do love the speed through the "barrel roll"/overbank along with the hammerhead.

keep in mind this is also the first test run, so it may or may not be running faster in the future....although as it is right now, it seems like it's at a pretty good pace...
