I'm surprised they have headrests. This RMC definitely won't be very forceful or jarring.

It's probably because of the launch.

^ God please! At least they'd be more natural if hand carved.

^^ I'm ready to name this woodie "The Wooden Xcelerator" because of the launch part and the classic car concept! Wow technically evolved... from the constantly smooth experience to the all-time twisty one!

:D Can't wait for the testing! :D

Props to both coasters with the "identical" hotwheel design! 8-)

Hehe that reminds me a ton of the kind of structures GCI uses. You'd think they'd work towards the bottom instead of meeting in the middle but I'm not in construction so IDK.

That drop into the valley looks so flipping sweet.

I didn't realise it was going to have a little hut at the top of the launch, looks fantastic!

That's there for the bees/wasps. They always tend to flock to the highest point of the ride so they felt that the structure will keep them away from the riders. I'd rather they just kill all the wasps since they are nature's assholes.
