Those brakes are really pretty.

This ride has taken shape very nicely. The tunneled overbank is going to be pretty sweet, along with the near vertical first drop, and the elements that follow. I do have to say though, the pictures do this ride no justice at all. This ride is going to be a beast.

You can view a 360 panorama of the ride here [:)]

It's not a trick, I promise.

They really captured the Dinn style, then brought it to a new level!

Its a Facebook video... If link doesn't work goto Six Flags Over Texas page on Facebook.

Wow... Thats all I can say

0.o!!!

That would looks so sexy with all those cars goin. Too bad they havent finished reinforcing the structure. But yeah that looks like it is really going to have some good airtime. And those turns just look great. If only it was taller. I was surprised when i found out el toro is taller. This thing seemed really massive.

Look and sounds like it will be glass smooth. Good for me, bad for its debatable woodenness. Anyway, did anyone else hear the lady exclaim, "it made it!"? That made me chuckle...

Didn't see that until now.

So, why is everyone happy that it made it through the course. What is this, some type of unauthorized changed that no one did calculations for? lol.

Still needs a lot of work to get where it needs to be, Its still not keeping pace like the original could.

Add 4 cars of weight and it should go alot faster.

Thats not saying much considering all Dinn coasters are horrid rides that we need to take the wreaking ball to.

So, buy upping Dinn's crap-tastic style of Fail, this is....ride-able with out getting killed or at least maimed? Then I guess it is a new level.

Dinn's designs were good it was the execution that needed some work.

Full train testing!If you don`t have FB then go and cry in a corner.

the first little bunny after the drop looks like it has masses of airtime but the rest looks rather dissapointingly slow. hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh, god... Sick coaster.

I agree with gazag. the first few hills/turns look fun, but it loses its speed really disappointingly quickly.
