i gotta agree that it looks like theres way more to it than el toro, and in a country with no wooden coasters its not as offensive in it's "prefabness".

That is one fine wooden coaster. Beautiful Rails and wood colors.

WOW. Although I'm not actually all that excited about the blue rails. Looks funky IMO. But the picture of the first turnaround looks pretty spiffy. I like the lateral bracing especially.

I really shouldnt repeat what all the other posts have said, but i think this coaster deserves it.... Absolutely stunning, and the way it is just perched aboved everything else in the park just makes it even more beautiful. I NEED to ride this coaster...

Anyone else bothered by that mcbr? It feels like it happens too soon and it stops the train...

Yer i really dont like that MCBR. Kills pacing. The ride starts off good then turns into Balder. Balder is a great ride but is anyone else seeing my point here?

OMG this ride is huge and so long.That MCBR kills pacing but it's not that bad!I like that "unsafe" sound but I don't know why they put it so close from beginning.
Just a thing.....who's gonna go to South Korea???

Meh. It looks OK. It hits the brakes kind of slow IMO. However, I love the stacked track sections. I think it's a really clever touch. And that MCBR is way too slow.

Wow, this ride would be awesome if not for that complete stop ten seconds in. The thing just crawls through the rest of the ride.[dunno]

I think many are speculating that the MCBR will not be that way when the ride opens to the public...it was just for testing purposes. The POV was filmed during a "soft opening."

For those that can't view it, just watch the beginning of an El Toro POV and then switch to a Balder POV.
