So yeah, it's gotta have a really high heartline right? I mean the trains. I don't imagine there are many trains that could make it off that MCBR from a deadstop without being really top heavy.

Finally a decent photo posted on their Facebook:

I'm still trying to figure out the tophat lol.

Seriously. What is this.

Awesome looking coaster! looks a bit like the smiler!

^ Yeah, this one is more "enigmatic" than Taron (That should unleash the POV soon!) is!

[mkingy]

Looks like someone made a normal tophat then accidently dragged a few vertexes out whilst supporting..

^ That could be the reason why some decent NL2 coasters would lose some technique points.

New snapchat teaser. That airtime hill looks extremely steep!

is it just the angle of the photo, or is the station actually really small?

Small enough to be an E-Motion or a spinner lol.

what's an "E-Motion"?

Mack creation, to quote coasterforce:

E-MOTION COASTER

Mack's E-Motion Coaster has a standard rollercoaster track layout, it's the cars that make the difference. The cars have a spring suspension that causes it to rock and shake in multiple directions. The first E-Motion Coaster to open was Tulireki at Linnanm??ki, Finland, in 2004. At the time of writing (Jan 2013), only two E-Motion coasters have been built, the last one was in 2005.

So basically the ride is essentially on a pivot in the center of the car which results in the car essentially "falling over" as you go round bends / down drops then uses suspension to return the ride upright.

I think the station pretty much guarantees a 1/2 long car train, which means to me it'll be an e-motion or wild mouse on steroids (think what maurer achieves with single car trains)

^thanks!

I think E means Experience.

It also enhances all the bumps and transitions making it feel extremely rough.

I'm done

What is even happening anymore.

Something experimental!

The flat turn before the MCBR just screams spinner but the rest of the layout really doesn't :/

New official photo from the park!
