I've heard some of the awkward turns give lateral air, so it may have that going for it. The only thing that peeves me are the upsidedown hills. They look like a waste on this and Goliath.

Overall ride really looks stunning though. Not the best ever, but close.


I thought Goliath's Zero G Stall would be a waste too... but it turned out to be the best element on the ride!

That's the necessary evil... :twisted: now in an extremely good way! I've seen most of you replicating that wicked element so far!

:D

Nice to see structure popping up in that area. This ride fell off the map for a bit.

I'm interested to see the lift structure in real life when its up. It looks to be a variation of goliath, just twisted to accommodate the turn before the drop.
What are these for?

Goodness gracious this thing looks amazing! The rendering got me hyped up for this project again! The speed (or the lack of loss of it) is great, and the way it interacts with the terrain is incredible, and it even gives you some headchoppers when diving into the support structure. It looks to be a very long ride as well. So... who would win best RMC of all? Lightning Rod or Wildfire? (*Hides in bunker from incoming debate)
It's been a long time

^ Well, if we plan on building our Disney Animal Kingdom based on requests by hardcore thrill seekers, we definately will get this hilly terrain-hugging coaster!

:D

^I don't. Why? Because snow isn't fun. And I imagine its a hard time for the builders because it sometimes is very icy. Its very lose snow so that makes it difficult to get clean paths for trucks and other stuff on roads.
Yes....

^ Just my personal liking so don't get me wrong. I clearly know how the builders feel there. They have to struggle with a pile of snow IRL while we can find the snowy effect in NL2 so beautiful.

:(

Riding a woody in the snow is probably the most beautiful thing you can do. Try it, it's awesome 8-)

As for contruction. I think most of the builders already knew that they had to work under some harsh conditions. Scandinavian countries are pretty much known for a long winter season with plenty of snow.

Dutch weather doesn't really go that low :lol: And if we do get such temperatures. Coasters won't open due the icicles hanging on the track :lol:
