^^ Obsession with this terrible B&M fail... Sorry, I had to.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Also is it just me or is this about the loudest B&M hyper ever? Is it because the trains are new or because Nascar is a sport of rednecks who like loud things?

It IS very noisy. But I think thats just the nature of B&M hypers now.

Those trains were unloaded, so until we see at least a full load water test I wouldn't 100% judge just yet.

If the original video were to have been posted without the annoying techno music, you would have heard someone call out, "water dummies!" in the very beginning.

Loooool I live in Canada... I just make videos relevant to new coasters being built. I have no intention of riding this coaster, nor do I have an obsession with it.

Someone else also suggested they should put sand in the rails.

I always enjoy POVs taken toward the back of the train, but I can't help feeling this one would've been a lot better if they exceeded 1 fps lol.

I rode this last Sunday(I work there). It's not as slow as it looks. Lots of air and nice pops near the end.

Meh, just another generic, boring B&M in my eyes. They used to manage forcefulness in their earlier coasters (the Batmans, Iron Wolf, Vortex ect.) but now they're playing it safe. Now Intamin is probably the best coaster builder in the world, and they've gone on an OTSR rage.

They need a ride that does something other produce floater. This is exactly what CCI did. In their later years they built Out n' Backs like crazy.

Sure, if by amazing you mean exactly like every other boring B&M hyper.

Well at least the airtime looks exceptional. I agree B&M hypers lack the force and thrill I crave. That's why I305 is probably going to be better than this. But B&M hypers have gotten better over the past few years.

It definitely has floater airtime, yet too much of anything is not good and in this case it is just repetitive and, as stated before, boring.

I agree, I hope soon B&M will amp up the airtime, and maybe try out some new elements. The whole drop hill hill hill turn around hill hill mcbr hill heix thing is getting a bit old.
