Head on over to the park's Facebook page to see the video!

The left side coming out of the Stengel dive/overbank/whatever is going to be AMAZING. Similar to if you're sitting on the left side when X2 exits its turnaround - the track banks and because you have a farther distance to fall before you're level it feels like it's dropping out underneath you!

That thing FLIES over the top of the lift! Looking great, can't wait to hear some reviews from opening day!

[TXman308I teach at the school of donkey!]

So the ride starts off slow and then speeds up (talking about the cable lift). Is that because of the winged seats?

P.S. Anyone else notice the front of the train is missing something?

[coasternutA donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.]

No straps on the dummy's legs anymore. Looks amazing!!!

^^The computer waits until the entire train is on the lift and then the lift speeds up.

Makes sense. I wouldn't want to be in the back row going 15 mph out of the station and up the steep lift incline curve...that would be some uncomfortable whiplash most likely.

[MooseWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

The train slows down much more than I expected by the end. I'm sure it'll still be awesome but I figured it would have more umph going around the final bits.

I think this video is of some of the initial runs of train 2. That's why it's going slower than in previous videos. And that's why the front-nose isn't on the train.

[mtavenger55What's with the donkeys anyway?]
