When talking about Tower of Terror, I just read that the ride will reopen soon, with a new vertical lift, with the old 45 degrees lift removed.

^I don't know about that though because I drove past the ride on the highway a few times now and it doesn't seem like there actually doing anything to it. (Maybe there fixing that high G force problem even though you don't actually feel it when the train enters the underground section.)

This is not its first upgrade though. Me and my friend rode it for the first time about a week after it's been open and there were no headrests then>>> This could have caused someone to get a massive head injury due to the acceleration write after the holding brake releases. The ride closed a month after its been built and then reopened a few days later with nice soft head rests.

The worst part about riding this one is the queue time. They only have one freaking car that only carries 8 passengers and if you time it to complete the circuit it takes approximately 2.15 minutes!!! (So maybe there adding more coco pan shaped cars.)

All I can say is I hope it turns out. It looks good, but looks are sometimes decieving.

Almost done!!! Sorry about the suspense but I've misjudged the amount of work I had left (Please forgive me). The upload will be ready in a couple of hours or maybe 1 day if something distracts me.

Please note that this is a simple dive machine coaster with just a drop and a turn back into the station so don't be surprised about the short length of the coaster for all you non dive machine riders.

I'm having a problem with the speed of the damn ride at the end. The actual ride has the most UN aero dynamic car I've ever seen and loses a lot of speed in the underground section. Will I be penalized If I add brakes under the ground (Uphill) Just to reduce the speed a little? Otherwise I can make the ending different to reduce lat G?????????s but then what?????????s the point for a recreation?

just add lims, you can't hear them in nolimits and they are probably hard to see in the dark. So if you hide the well i don't think it's a problem...

Ahh Gold Reef City, one of those parks I want to visit but never will. They have quite a neat inverted coaster, a schwarzkopf, a neat rapids ride, and this sucker.
