That's pretty damn cool. I didn't realize how far the station was from the lift.

Looks so fun! And can I say again how great that blue looks!

Even the pre lift track isn't wasted. Gotta love RMC!

I swear the designers at RMC all must have played Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 in college. Seeing this ride go up just makes me happy.

The blue track looks beautiful! Didn't think you would have that much airtime before the lift! No time wasted at all getting started.
It's been a long time

That.. is... beautifully psychotic. Wicked Cyclone has a pretty decent pre-lift too, right?... :lol:

Honestly, unless they essentially launch the trains out of the station like what they did with the original Colossus, I can't see it having much airtime. If anything, i think it will be closer to those hills on the Ultimate just before the second lift hill.

^I imagine they will probably launch it out rather fast to catch up with the other train. Still though, even though Nitro's pre-lift isn't about airtime, it's lots of fun and I imagine this will be too.

Because why put 18 airtime hills on the ride when you can put it on the prelift.

Because the prelift is part of the ride! :D

In this case it is.

I hated that long Colossus slow run to the lift. I'm glad they added the hops, honestly. Even if they're mild, it's better than another boring turn and straight away.

Looks like earthquake damage. I love it. That is some serious trick track towards the end

The pre-lift appears to be my favorite part so far. :lol:

Who cares? As long as the train isn't crawling towards the lift that looks like it'll give some decent airtime!

The more I stare at it, the more I realize how absofreaking amazing that is. I'm practically drooling over the shaping over those trick-track hills. That is some "twisted" track!

Wicked Cyclone's transfer track is right out of the station, so there could not be any sort of prelift as the park would have to move the transfer track and build an entirely new storage building which would cost them much more money. I still wanted that jojo roll tho. :(
