This is my Fahrenheit rip off. It features a couple characteristics of Fahrenheit while adding what I hope was enough of an original flair.

Ride Features:
*Approximately 140 ft drop
*Over 90 degree drop (I can't calculate that crap when I handbuild)
*Norwegian Loop (2 inversions)
*Flying Snake Dive (1 inversion)
*Double Corkscrew (2 inversions)
*Barrel Roll (1 inversion)
*Air Hills

To keep the ride semi realistic and similar to Fahrenheit it features horrible capacity with 4 car trains instead of 3 and is 3100ft long, while Fahrenheit is I believe 2800ft. I'm having a bit of a problem with Norwegian Loop supports as both Speed Monster and Fahrenheit have very different supports for the same element because of the supports are dodging track. I have no track to dodge. We'll see how this comes out.

Looks pretty cool. I like the exit of the pretzel loop, it looks pretty steep which should be a cool feeling after rotating out of the half loop.

Looking pretty hectic Coasterkidmwm.
The turn right off the drop looks insane plus I like the roll right before the brakes.

More pics please?????????

Canadmos/Cade: It's a tad too steep as the back seat gets some serious ejector but that's not necessarily bad.

TMV - Nah I already know what's wrong with it and what can't be fixed.

Dj-Dj - It's a small turn so don't expect anything like the FVD rate whore intamin hypers you're used to seeing.

Thanks for the quick interest. Wasn't expecting that.

-.9 Isn't too bad, the first drop has that in the back seat as well.

Nice temperature coaster. Norwegian loop supports look great. This should be a fun ride.
