So it's the same exact color scheme as Fluch on the outside part?

Anyways, I visited the park in June and the footprint for this ride is HUGE. Can't wait to see the outdoor ride portion go vertical.

Agreed. I wonder if the drop will have that effect since it's inside, or maybe the effect is from the camera being off the track. Not sure but I was thinking it looks pretty scary too.

Dat drop = wow. I never noticed it was going to have a twist.

It is looking fabulous! Even though the trains will be short, this looks awesome. :)

It might just be the angle, but Gerstlauer doesn't do a lot of heartlining.

Doesn't look like it - but then if this drop is slightly beyond vertical it'd account for the shaping. I think the shorter trains allow for some more interesting shaping that might prolong the negative G's through the drop.

Heartlining is basically rotating the train about its center - rather than rotating from where the wheels are. This means you reduce lateral G's.

Very interesting structure dodge, much like the one on The Smiler.

I think the opposite, Gerstlauer does A LOT of heartlining.
