That's so awesome! It looks like there's a house at the top of the airhill before it.

The rise and drop of the airhill in the pictures looks really steep...

that "house on the airhill" is just the top of the freefall tower. ;) would've been cool though

That thing looks awesome! I built something similar for the NLT a couple years ago but that's even crazier.

I'll probably never ride it, but that will be a unique experience for sure. Not to mention the rest of the ride is massive; building it over Dragon Khan was a great idea.

That hill looks like it will have the strongest airtime of any B&M coaster to date. Although, Apollo's Chariot airtime is incomparable as well...
Oh, were you expecting something here?

The last few hills of Apollo's Chariot. This one most specifically:

^You could take the bunny hills of most B&M Hypers and acknowledge them as very strong [for a B&M] airtime.

But if you take B&M airtime of most B&M Hypers relative to that ^^^^ moment in the layout, most probably won't have such strong airtime.

I was really hoping for it to really rip over that bunny hop after the turn around, but the pacing looks so slow.

Hopefully the pacing improves a bit with full loads--these are only half.

I don't see the problem. It looks pretty good to me.
What are these for?

It's pretty massive, with not a lot in the background. It's probably going faster than you realise.

That video shows a better angle of the bunny hill after the turnaround; it looks like it absolutely flies over that hill. Should be some intense ejector, I think.
