Located in the heart of Texas is the Texas Hill Country, thousands of acres of rolling hills and trees. However, that is all about to change. A storm is about to stampede across the hills of this peaceful environment, and they are calling it the Blitz. Yikes!

Stats:

Manufacturer: Gravity Group LLC
Length: 3114 feet
Height: 112 feet
Drop: 78 feet
Speed: 47.5 M.P.H.
Max Vertical Angle: 64 degrees
Forces: 3.5/-1.0 veritcal
+/- 1.6 lateral
Moments of airtime: 16
Ride Time: 60 seconds
Trains: 2, with 6 cars each
Building Method: elementary and handbuilt hybrid

I'd also like to say that all but the supports directly under the track are all custom. I have/am going to:
-change all X's to /'s
-ledgers
-thinner catwalks & handrails
-track crossing boards
-lateral supporting wherever needed
-whatever else I forgot

Also expect 3ds including station, queue/plaza, motor room, and transfer tracks.
