The train looks chic, and I don't know why, but... I love those red straps (I legit know they are for larger guests, though.) figuratively showing Baron's socially high rank, too!

Car Design: Chic. Track Design: Sick! :)

Today is the pre-opening for all the press and seasonal pass holders that got invited for a spot. :) So I'm expecting a lot of reviews coming out tonight.

^^Finally! Now I can see this thing in action!

EDIT: I feel like it would flow better if the zero g roll went the other way, but that's just me. Also, B&M using magnetic brake fins?
It's been a long time

If the zero-g went the other way all the turns would be to the right.

B&M have used magnetic braking for a good long while. Was this POV with dummies, I wonder? Pacing looks good regardless, everything is so on point with this coaster.

^^I know they have been using the regular magnetic brakes for a while but apparently they're using Intamin style magnetic fins now

I disagree that it should be the other way round (but agree it would flow better) due to the fact every other turn on the ride is a right hander!

I would have added a little sway between the immelmann and the zero g roll instead of the flattening out at 0?? for a bit before changing direction.

Woah, this flows perfectly from a vertical drop to a final brake! This needs another expression instead of saying "Wow smooth. I suggest making a comment like "This is soothing." :D

Yeah agreed- although you know it'd make it into the "WTF transition" thread ahah

Looks like an excellent ride from the POV.

I love that shaping on the helix. Does anyone know if it provides any force?

It seems like it was not too long ago when the first video came out. Wow time really does fly.
