I can only pray we get something like this next year at SFMM they did say they were talking with Intamin.

Also does anyone know where a pic of the layout is located? which comes first after the tophat the inclined loop or that bunnyhop, the track is so twisted and mangled it's hard to make out the order of the elements.

Does anybody know why this coaster is using these new square supports? I believe this is the first Intamnin to use these. Anybody know more?

Looks to me like they removed all but one trim fin. I know they can add some back to tweak it, but there has to be a reason they took most off and I gotta tell you...I didn't see that one coming. Hopefully it's a permanent change, and not some problem with misaligned brakes that'll be added back, or something like that.

^Agreed.

Well, I'm really glad they took out the trims.
And as I read on parksmania.it, it's going to stay this way, unless the tests show the ride is too intense.

And, the testing is supposed to start this week! :D

that top hat from that angle looks insane.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Check out the awesome new minisite for iSpeed!
Go to www.mirabilandia.it , and when it loads click the iSpeed banner at the bottom, left.

There are pictures, wallpapers, and most importantly, STATS!
Not just any stats, there are G forces for single elements, and from those i can tell, that That is going to be one of the most powerful coasters EVER!
4.6G on the climb to the tophat
-0.5G over the tophat
4.9G at the bottom of the first drop
-1.5G on the camelback
4.5G on the first turn
4.3G in the corkscrew (?)
4.3G in the Italian loop

They are pretty powerful, but i wouldnt go as far as to say one of the most powerful coasters ever. One word: Schwarzkopf. [lol]

Still sounds pretty good, and i agree with Gouldy, one of the nicest looking Rockets out there now, if not the best. Hopefully it rides as well as it looks. [:D]

This ride looks amazing in so many ways , although the top hat looks sort of different? Why wasn't Stealth at Thorpe Park like this!

From what I can see, this top hat twists probably another 10 - 20 degrees more than stealth. And yea, stealth is 25 ft taller.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

that launch makes the best sound, i love it. Secondly. they are going to change that launch speed right? it barely makes it over that top hat.

Yes, this was the minimum speed needed for the train to complete the circuit.
