I was going to say the same thing, Kyle. I cannot see what they are talking about. I felt like my eyes might have not been working or something when I didn't notice anything wrong with that pic lol.

If you watch a POV of the ride the swing out to the lift in the pic he posted is immediately after the track swings out to the right (where it should be to heartline the left turn into the brakes). He's right about it being like a roll node F-up in NL2. Below is a pic taken in the middle of the left turn from farther back than his original image. It's subtle, but it's definitely there.

^They certainly did that on purpose but it was a strange decision. Probably rides well regardless.

Ah, I should have looked up to see that it was coming out of a leftward turn. That does make that little right jog somewhat unusual.

If you ask me, the final transition into the break run on Saw is quite painful if you are not ready for it. Presumably the designers took this into account when they put in that little kink, so it is probably less painful.

The transition into the final brakes on Raptor... lol. So much straight section there, why did they have to make it so quick?

I like that transition on Raptor. It's an exclamation point capping off a great ride. I'm sure people bang there head there sometimes, but I think it's a nice little trick to make the excitement last until the ride is slowed by the brakes.

I think Monster has that section "fixed" and otherwise is a clone of Raptor.

I also like that snap on Raptor. It's fun to watch trains travel through that, too.
