lolwut? That hill looks to be among the best non-inverting coaster elements ever. I would trade my Pokemon White 2 for that.

I've officially decided I'm going here this May or whenever this ride has its opening weekend debut. I need to ride this. Cash is officially being earmarked for the near future.

why dont you do this.. buy a cheap pair of big sunglasses, remove the lenses and make a sort of "grid " out of toothpicks and glue it to the frames so that it goes where the lenses were then go to the nearest park with a an "ok" steel inverting coaster, put the glasses on and ride it .. you'll save tons of money and get pretty much the same effect.. LOL
naw.. just kidding , i "get" why people think this is awesome.

I think if the rest of the ride provides good lats, airtime and feels out of control it'll be a good ride. If its a rubbish layout it'll feel gimmicky and be almost worse than a "ok" steel inverting coaster.

This ride is unreal! I cant seem to find a single dull moment of this thing. And Despite the crazy elements, the shaping on this just looks so right. Very well done RMC!

Their style is so divine and perfect. I can't wait to ride this. Aiming for opening day... whenever it may be. I mustn't draw out this pain of waiting haha.

Oh my god, just a simple lapbar? On This? That's beautiful.

This has to be one of the most amazing things I've seen. Ever. I've gotta say, I was pretty pissed at this company after I heard that Texas Giant and the Rattler were refurbished or whatever, but damn they're doing a good job redeeming themselves.

Are you being serious? I can't speak as much for Texas Giant having only been on it once, but rattler is/was anything but crap. That ride had soul. Now it will be a carefully calculated prefabricated uninteresting heartless piece of steel.

It's a tragedy that all these classic wooden rollercoasters have been 'revamped' recently. I don't see how one could see it as anything else.

Haha I got my rage out a while ago. Now I'm just sad. I wish I had gone to ride it one last time.

All this being said, this new ride does look top-notch. These guys got style, that's for sure.


ps nice av btw --^

Actually you will be closer to the new one's heart.

Because you're riding at the heartline.

And... it's heartlined.

So technically your heart is riding through the ride's heart.
