I actually really like that train! It's of the same kind of goodness as the Dueling Dragons used to be. They look awesome!

I'm looking forward to seeing that roaring... well, slowly moving, around the track!

That train looks really well designed, nice shapes. Plus the "plasmatic" painting on it refers to the experimental theme of the advert campaign during the construction... Well, very good-looking !

Edit : First testing video ! [:D]

all B&ms look slow and less forceful then they are. For example, Montu looks slow and boring but it is actually really fast and forceful.

I'm actually extremely impressed with the way this coaster seems to handle. Although the ride may be short, it looks extremely smooth and well enough paced so that the riders aren't left with a "That's it?" I'm very excited to see the POV for this, and a closer look at the trains themselves in the near future.
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.

The trains look really cool and the ride itself looks like a lot of fun. The roll looks especially fun.

Guys, this is a prototype, why the hell do you even have a reason to bitch hyyyper, this means you). I'm not a fan of B&M, but seriously, they are just seeing how the ride ends up prior to deciding if they want to go all out on a new one.

I think it looks pretty good. Objects always appear to be traveling slower than what they are. A car going 100mph looks like it's going slow on a flat open road.

When you look at the transitions you can tell that the train is going at more than adequate speed. No snapped necks is a plus.

Does amybody know what the theming on this ride is? There is that little broken down watchtower right before the roll in case nobody noticed (I highly doubt it).

I must say though. I love the turn out of this ride so far. The shaping looks very nice, and it seems to me that it rides very smooth. I'm really excited to see the finished product.

So...B&M is going for a 4-D coaster now? Or a B&M Wing-Rider...

Interesting...*analytical face*
"Don't be a disability"... yep, still keeping that. :P

Looks like it has decent pacing aside from that one roll, which is great, because, well, it's a roll.
