Round and round it goes... where it stops, nobody knows.

Isn't that the one at Port Adventura with the six wide, three grouped together on one side of the rail?

This turn will be way too low to have the wing walker trains.

I'm almost positive it only has two cars on each side, as the video shows. That video on youtube is the layout.

Doesnt matter. It wont be a wingwalker. If it is, Ill be extremely disappointed.

Plus, have you not seen the track peices. The radii on some of those pieces are way, way too small to accomodate the wing walker with its seats way out over the sides.

None of those are loop pieces, every single one has a support connector on it. Those are all turns, exscept one or two that look like they are probably heartline roll pieces or really quick transitions.

Thats a little close don't ya think? If the track is directly up above those pieces that is way to close.

Forget hand slapping, just grab the other guy at their elbow.

But that is a very strange and unique support.

Without a doubt a Intamin launch coaster.

Ex : Xcellerator with some inversions.

may be so. but with the weird support, it is probably the 4-rail support.

Actually, even with the four rail system, they still use one support connection.

I'm guessing this is the break run based on the slope.

^ It can also be a launch, but it seems a little short to be a launch, so i dont know.

I'd say that it would be a launch if those two supports at the end were connected at the top and a track connection sitting on top of it.

Look just above the unbrella to see the support I'm talking about.

Its not a launch. Plus those two supports arent even level with each other. I say its the brake run.

Most likely a break run with the supports next to it for maintance storage of the trains. They just need to announce it to end all the speculation.

I sure hope its not a "break" run. That would suck during operations.

LMAO oops. Its quite obvious that a whole new direction means themeing. The ride theme is that it breaks down.

Bad joke, I know, Im tired.

Hey, I know how it feels. Im working nearly as many hours as you guys are. I get paid more, but, it is killing me slowly (or quickly...not sure yet)

Hopefully I can get this trip to Holiday World so I can have some heaven for a little bit. Im so worn out...

Looks like it will have some banking: it will def. not be slow.

(look at the background supports)

I just looked through about 350 pics... nothing new or anything that might hint to the layout...-sigh-

oh, and whoever said that it was a trick, cuz there wasn't numbers on the supports:
