The turnaround might look something like Swarm's... !!! Minus the inversion of course. Maybe they'll just rotate the incline plane about the circle in some manner.

I imagine the turn around to be like all the other Hypers by B&M, for example:

Goliath

Apollos Chariot

Goes up to the top, sharp bank into falling helix which progressively widens with speed so when you look at the plans you see the coil does this.

That looks really cool. Totally looking forward to seeing that helix, even though I'm probably never going to ride it :(

This puts a grin on my face.
Friendship is like peeing. Everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling it brings.

It does look alot like the fan art, we'll just have to wait and see; it would look really nice.

I wonder if it's going to look more like a reverse version of the helix on bob_3_'s [url]="http://coastercrazy.com/track_exchange/detail/16775"]The Red Dragon[/url]? Just taller?

Yes this looks fantastic. The ending is a giant taper on pacing (the pseudo-MCBR just kills the pace at the end), but the beginning 4/5 of the ride is fantastic-looking.

Don't even try to make the ride Himalayan mountain themed.
Unless they make a 200 foot artificial mountain, a transfer track segment, a richly themed queue line with Nepalese crap, and a animatronic Yeti (that works for 4 months then Disney takes a dump) it won't work.
Just sayin

Wow... this looks like it could be the best B&M hyper... and it's in Europe! :) Well we deserve this, after Silverstar ;) Also the setting near DK's location is, of course, spectacular.

Wow, that airtime hill is impressive. It's sort of badass that it's taller than Dragon Khan's lift.

looks sick! I do love the interaction between DK. It just totally dominates it, and really puts its size in perspective.
