You bet it does! Also, I'm psyched to hear it's lacking in OTSRs. I'm always glad to see companies take steps towards more comfortable and spacious restraints.

You forgot to mention that it's a launch coaster with a vertical tower and a heartline roll. That's an intense looking layout.

Sounds like a fun coaster and should really help out the park.

Another one-car coaster for Lagoon. Do you realize that most of their coaster's are one-car rides? Collosus, Bat, and that wooden coaster are the only rides that have a train. This ride looks like it will be pretty short. I'm not complaining, but for 10 million they could have gotten more bang for their buck. This'll be a quick launch coaster that's short in duration. Not much different than the last three coasters they've installed, all short.

Stevetothekizzo, I couldn't agree more. Lagoon insisted this ride NOT have OTSRs, so it's nice to know a park would rather have just lapbars other than the Staus Quo.
