| | Call me crazy, but remember those rummors of the 91-93* overbank? I can swear that turn is a hair past 90*. http://www.thegravitygroup.com/hades/pages/47.htm If you look at that pic in a window that is just large enough for it and then move the right side of the window back and fourth across it as a vertical straight edge, you should see what I mean. The back of the support on that far right against the wall will all disappear under the side of the window together, but the vertical supports closest to the track from there to the man will disappear from bottom to top. They get even again over his head and then go top to bottom after that. I am pretty sure that is past 90*. |

| | | I am amazed, That turn is going to be wicked. I also wonder just how rough that would be on the body.
It looks amazing but will it feel amazing. If i ride i will not be sitting on the left side.

| | | i was just thinking that depending on the type of train and seating arragements used, one rider will definitely be smashed during that turn |

| | | Not only does it have all of those tunnels and banking, but it has the track sections where it goes under it's self for good effect. Add the wicked turns and everything else, this ride is amazing. I think it's the first time I've seen everyone agree on. No matter what new ride someone will come up and say how dumb one part of it looks. Like the drop on Silver Bullett.

| | | is it just me, or does it look like they're testing it with huge bags of trash in the seats instead of the typical half human shaped water filled dummies? haha. i can't WAIT to ride this ride.

| | | Wow. Simply amazing, and a coaster Wisconsin can finally get recognized for. I hope we can see continued additions like this out of Mt. Olympus (and I won't doubt it, I think they're finally becoming a destination park).

| | | Good to see PTC trains on there. They use them on the other coasters, but G-trains have become so common I was worried about it.
