For those doubting the speed increase, that's what a friend of mine was told during an S&S factory tour during an ACE event. I can't imagine the current launch, so to make it even faster.... *creams*

And while Dodonpa is down the park has set up a VR version of the ride that uses fans to simulate wind.

I'm having trouble figuring out the scale. Is this going to hit some brakes before the loop?

I really hope it's going to do more than just a loop.

^ I guess that ride (hot rod - pun intended) needs an afterburner moment!

The loop looks massive but considering how fast this ride goes I was really hoping for taller.
And a freaking kicker wheel? I'm not following.

It has/had kicker wheels in the turns after the main brake too lol. Very odd ride. Launch looks absolutely nuts though.

How tall do you guess is that loop in feet? Perhaps somewhere around 180!

I have the feeling it's almost the same height as the original tower.

The perspective makes it difficult to determine unless you have a good knowledge of the park though :/
