The official announcement states that?

A choice would be nice and the whole "good versus evil" theme is cool too and since there are two tracks it is completely do-able.

I might be in the minority here but I like the idea of only one track backwards, it would be two completely different rides in one and I like the forces of the forward launch, that awesome feeling of being pressed back into the seat. Themed so the left side is Superman and the right is Bizarro. Then at the top of the tower a statue of both engaged in a fighting sort of a pose and the color scheme for each car and its track matched to that character, as well as the entire que line. Too much?

..... wow

What's with the sheesh?

Well, Guy, all I have to say to that is....that was motherfu@#in awesome!

Of course! That whole 2012 thing is just silly.

What is it with this park and fires?

Why do I have the feeling that MM is just going to get the new cars and that's it, no tunnel, no fog or fire, no paint, no going faster or higher...

They were DEVO?! LOL

I totally agree with that!

That probably means that is is so much more intense than the cars going forward. Why were they wearing those yellow suits?

That's all well and good and I am sure you are a fine worker and nowhere did I ever "call all carnies stupid"---those are your words not mine, I was specifically commenting on this one idiot, but when someone else has to jump in and get your attention then there is something really wrong with the operator, I don't care if the ride stops immediately or it takes time when the E stop is pressed, if you are not paying attention to the big giant noisy machine that just had a large part fly off and crash also making a lot of noise in front of you with people screaming, then you do not need to be operating rides.

I love everything about Revolution except the hard, painful OTSRs.

Revolution was fine until they added the half-assed OTSRs.

Corrected!

But EE does not have OTSRs, which is directly related to the headbanging which is the major complaint of Vekomas so even though it might be smooth you have to throw it out as it does not count.

Wasn't Tatsu 2007 and X2 2008?

Yeah that is absolutely ridiculous! How the hell do you not notice something like that? I mean seriously, you'd have to be a complete brain dead moron not to notice a huge part of a ride flying off and crashing right in front of you. Stupid.

MM could be taking longer simply because they have two tracks to deal with instead of one, that on top of everything else they might be doing and probably painting too.

Oooh that's spooky!

Lighter cars and a faster computer that can handle rapidly switching the LSMs plus maybe a little reprogramming should increase the launch and put less stress on the electrical components. That seems to make sense. Because the car is lighter its possible to achieve a faster launch while using the same or slightly less power as the load on the electrical system should be less. The less work a motor has to do, the less current is has to draw which means it can run more efficiently and cooler and the launch system is basically just one giant motor with the stator unrolled and laid out along the track and the magnets on the car acting as the rotor I don't work for Intamin but its reasonable to assume one of the reasons they use the hydraulic cable launch is that it is much cheaper to run. Imagine if they had an LSM or LIM launch on TTD, if it could work, it would consume an enormous amount of energy on every launch. In comparison, the current launch system uses much less power and yet provides a more powerful launch. Reliability aside, the cable launch is better overall, more powerful and costs less per launch.

Lighter cars will make a big difference, I don't think this will be a problem.

Medusa front, back, and the zero G is awesome in the middle of the train.

Speaking of one to be melted down, I nominate Kong at SFDK, very painful.
