Looks pretty fun...better than most stuff they build today. The only thing is that all those high banked turns probably don't pack the great lateral punch that most mouses have...it also doesn't have any air hills.

erm, please remember that the cars are spinning at the same time. just not in this video,as it is a test run and the cars are locked. but when it is fully opened the cars are spun round frantically on corners

I hope in a NL update we get those trains. They're probably complicated spinning while moving os that means a new lateral gravity engine to make the spin.

yeah but that still doesn't produce airtime [:p]

I never said I thought it was bad or anything, because I think it would be better than anything at CP or SFMM, I'm just saying it would be nice if it had some air hills [:)]

lol, I see your point. You also said it wouldn't pack much lateral punch though,

"The only thing is that all those high banked turns probably don't pack the great lateral punch that most mouses have"

and i was just sayin well once the cars are spinning, then that mutliplies the laterals no end. lol, but fair point you made.

P.S, i'm gonna say it again edge, i still can't get over how proper baaaaaaaaad your avatar thing is, lol. It brings back the memories.

Jeez, here we go again with the CP/MM poundings....I don't see how this ride could be anything like MF or Raptor or Magnum...no airtime, and that's always the complaint with MF...not enough air. Well, that's still more than this thing.

But anyway, this ride does look pretty wicked cool...the drop is very different, and it really looks good. That second high banked turn looks wicked, though. The train really flew through it.
