looks like a wild mouse to me, it'll probly hurt, PCW has a record for getting unsmooth, crappy coasters.

the theming looks awxsome though, this is one of my favorite movies, so i hope it's not a let down.

i dought it'll be that big too, PCW has no room left.

http://www.amusementtoday.com/ A little more info.

THE ITALIAN JOB: Stunt Track is a new coaster concept designed by Paramount Parks Design & Entertainment in conjunction with Paramount Pictures, BMW and Premier Rides. The ride vehicles "peel out" (launches) three times and reach speeds of more than 40 mph.


I don't know why someone would not like this or are already complaining about it. If they do it up like the videos then The Mummy and Spiderman will slide down a notch on my yearly must ride list.

Looks really cool to me!

Worlds first, very marketable.
I just wonder whether in 5/10 years it will as popular and whether the effects on the ride will last.
