Love it! It looks really graceful going through the elements, and that helix looks relatively forceful.
It's been a long time

It does have a holding brake right? Wonder how much that'll hurt pacing...

I feel like I read somewhere that it got removed for some reason.

The holding brake is clearly there in the video though...
Oh, were you expecting something here?

It's on the ride, but it's not being used. Maybe they decided not to use it?

I think they're testing it first without using the holding mechanism.

Yes this his how all dive machines start their testing.

In Oblivion's first testing videos this year it did not use the holding brake.

I wonder how much a speed difference there is between the holding brake being on or off <.<

Hopefully the pacing doesn't slow much because currently it looks excellent.

I don't think the holding brakes effects the speed so much.
Can't wait to ride!

Wow the pacing looks great from onride. Looking down into the tunnel from the top of the lift must be terrifying!

It's weird how there is only one lift chain. That must put a lot of stress on it.

Looks better than most B&M's.
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

Oh wow the theming around the loading platform already looks incredible! Just imagine how much more awesome the theming inside the rest of the station / queue line is. :D

Looks like the holding break really doesn't mess with the pacing after all! I don't think B&M will ever let us down!
