Does that mean that there is yet another launch? That's insane!

1st launch: 30 mph

2nd launch: 60 mph!

3rd launch: 40 mph

I hope this will ride better than it looks in the animation!

Interesting full POV.

Lol, it reminds me of a badly designed NL roller coaster.

Like a noob cannot get enough speed with gravity, so they have to put launches to keep it going. I don't know if that's good track design...but whatever.

We'll see.

This looks a hell of a lot better than the idiot who was paid to make the Green Lantern's NL promo.

^ No poop. Who ever did that should be slapped. I havent put any tracks up yet and I could do better than that!

@sauron

I meant the premise of the ride ITSELF. The guy did a decent job on the animation...i'm talking about the ride. The idea to keep it going with launches sounds n00bish...but it might not be noobish...so we'll see.

Wow,they need OTSRs for one crappy heartline roll?Thats just sad.
So the layout is,I`ve expected more.

It'll be a great ride, but could've been so much better. Hopefully BGE outdoes it with some legit speed and more airtime moments strung together.

the cars look like they might be themed too.
i think bgt could have done better...
make something worth standing in line for.. not some ride thats a minute and 30 secs and then you get off and was very disappointing to the people who waited in line...
i think they should try for something more amazing....
and how is this a first of its kind...
i have seen a heartline roll.. turns and a top hat on other coasters,
FAIL or Save is the question... that we wont know till next june

but i do like the waterfall section and thats just about the only section that looks good...
but other wise it doesnt look that good
i think i rather stick to gwazi, shekria, kumba, cheetah chase, scorpion, kumba. [launch]

BGE's version will be a one-upper like Griffon was to Sheikra. It'll be five feet taller and have one more inversion haha.

I'm not picky, and even I think this ride looks kind of dull. Looks like an unevenful ride through some great scenery.

Apparently it interacts with wildlife exhibits. I think that might greatly improve the experience.

I think it'll be eventful, but there's a bit too much down time between good elements. I didn't really expect that based on the layout plans. The good parts will be excellent as usual...the shot of air into and out of the first tower, the first launch and hill, the roll, the last launch/hill/S hill sequence...but the rest should've been on par. Funny because, like Sky Rocket, the elements overall seem to be too different in thrill, though not as exaggerated as that ride. Like I said though, it'll be a lot of fun, and I think better than people expect based on this video.

No theres gonna be lap bars.

[hyyyper]

^haha...if only

[Coasterkidmwm]

It's Florida. I doubt it'll have lapbars since that state is another one of the fatty collection states.

They posted it on their facebook page i saw it. They said that it would have lap bars.

I'm confused as to why the artwork shows shoulder restraints, then.

[gouldy]

I would be extremely suprised if it did have lap bars. Don't get me wrong, it would be a really nice surpise, but a surprise nonetheless. It has an inversion in it for a start and that seems to just mean straight away, before anything else is even considered, the ride will have OTSRs on.

BGT's Facebook confirmed OTSR's like "Those on Maverick and Kingda Ka"

^

More specifically:

"For all you Fans who are asking about Cheetah Hunt's restraint system, the new ride will incorporate over-the-shoulder restraints similar to those found on many other IntaRide coasters such as Maverick and Kingda Ka. Thanks for asking!"

Sorry, didn't have Facebook open to copy it.

They should get a restraint system like Blue Fire

They may look ugly but they`ve got the best ergonomy,like B&Ms restraints.
