"It's not small, but it is very 'average.'" Since when was 'average' being the first coaster of its kind to have two pieces of track stacked on top of one another? And while it may be 'average' in the sense of the number of elements it has, it is still a very unique ride that you can't find anywhere else. I mean really guys, SFMM puts in a new coaster essentially every year or every other year at the very least. Usually the parks that get the large Gatekeeper-esque coasters with the hefty $25 million pricetags are ones that go 4-5 seasons or more without a new major attraction. Fortunately for the folks who visit SFMM, they never have to go more than a season or two without a new ride. Unfortunately that means the rides they do get every year don't come anywhere near $25 million. And let's be honest, this is exactly what people said about SUF before it opened. But once people actually rode it, they saw how awesome of a ride it really was for as small as it is. Launch, Loop Twist twist Dive Stop Launch launch Hill Stop ....could easily be considered average.

Or it could just be this is a similar element to other manufacturer's rides and the 'flying snake dive' is a name Premier has given it. Although short it still looks like fun. The bus thing on the other hand, I don't know. I think I'll just walk. The loop/tophat combo will be in the cleared out dirt area where LJ once was, near LJ's station.

So this is just a GoPro mounted to an RC copter? That actually sounds like it could be fun. That video is amazing. Fly that thing over there again, I've always wanted to see the very tops of the Drop tower. Looks like there is still a lot of open space between GS and the fence next to Prud. Just watched the vid again, really awesome and very good piloting skills. There were some parts I almost thought it was going to hit the coaster, and when you fly up the Carousel all the way up near the top of the spire, that was really cool- awesome shots though. I don't remember anybody ever doing this before for any coaster so you might just be the first.
