Train, I love all these twitter updates you're posting. I've got one request. Please link to the exact tweet(s). As it might be something in the forum coding or just twitter being stupid, but it all shows up as "image image image image"-text.
A link to the exact tweet(s) would help finding the posted pictures a lot faster instead of browsing through their twitter-feed. Some parks spam a lot on their twitter and it makes it impossible to find stuff back. xD

The over banked turn is complete:

Hehe, love it how the Japanese are eyeballing because it's a 90?? banked turn.

Now here's the rest of the ride:











Here's also a better look at the train for Hakugei:

Wow, construction has gone fast. I'm still sad about the disappearance of those helixes though...

The Zero-G Stall has been spotted going up:







There's also now a pink train on the track:

I wonder when the first video footage will come out

So much for testing!

Now we have testing footage!:

Looks like this one suffers the same problem most RMC's seem to have. Slow down immensely near the end of the ride. Maybe it'll speed up further when the wheels have been broken in more.

I think it's just the colder temps, empty trains, and lack of break-in time. I expect this to carry its speed to the end like Steel Vengeance and Twisted Timbers. Hopefully at least!

Eh it still looks like a huge improvement over the original. Looks fun.

Couple of twitter videos of Hakugei testing:

It's a cool perspective from the wheel, and looks to have sped up already.

Looks like Hakugei will open on March 28th:

[Dirk_Ermen]

Definitely looks a lot better already, that first drop looks wicked

POV of Hakugei:

Ok now that they have a beast of RMC the definitely need a better filming crew....

Yeah that POV is trash. Hopefully someone who knows how to film will pick up the slack before too long.

I don???t see a problem with it...
