the weight of the trains also probably had something to do with it being a low acceleration rate.

According this article:

That is correct.

Furius Baco you hit like 1.1G Acc. It's an Intamin's WingRider too but uses a hydraulically launched system.

BTW i think it was the first WingRider in the world (2007)

Furius Baco goes 80mph. So I don't doubt the intense accleration

+1 for some comments about cut-out hands!

Furius Baco is too rough and short. This coaster is going to be very funny with all those elements.

I couldn't agree more.

That station is amazing.

Also, it is confirmed that the Controls will be above the track like Gatekeeper.

Aren't all B&M wingrider's control booths above the track? I can't find a good picture of Wild Eagle but Swarm, Raptor and X-Flight all do too - I just thought it was the norm

Wild Eagle's is to the side I'm pretty sure. I'm not 100% sure though.

Is Wild Eagle the only one to have station gates?

It's because of the lack of catwalk following the station and before the lift. It's a guest safety thing.

GateKeeper has gates?
