It looks awesome.... I can tell you that.

It seems to me like it will be putting that structure under a ton of stress. I can't wait to see how much the entire structure moves when they start running it.

it is one of the few turns that was rebanked to 90-95 degrees.
it was a wierd turn on the orignal version
i hope this ride is better then before and not a wast of time
they could have just built something new in its place

I'm pretty sure they will be adding new structure to it. If you look at :42, you can see one of the metal beam/ledgers sticking far out of the present structure, so they will be most likely add to it. I mean, just imagine how many G's you would be pulling coming out of that overbanked turn, like slosprint said, it would be a ton of stress and the structure would be bending and flexing maybe a bit too much.
That element at 3:27 looks fantastic. I'm definitely not calling this ride wooden anymore.
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.

"Careful man, there's a beverage here!"
They are still labeling it as wooden due to the fact that they are attention whores.

All RCCAs should be RMC'd. And that event shall be henceforth known as the Rollercaust.
Actually that is its 115* overbank. Notice how its enclosed.
^Why would it be enclosed?

It's actually pretty simple. If you are pulling positive gs over a beyond 90 degree turn, it will be pushing the track up as well as to the side, meaning that you need some form of support from above.
