You're at the 99.95th percentile, unfortunately manufacturers don't have you in mind :/ -

Nobody is complaining. We have the power to avoid 10 pages of 'complaining about complainers' posts. -

Seems to me that Medusa is at least as well liked as LR, just more seldom ridden. Also wood is a sustainable industry btw, not an environmental threat. -

You mean l----o----c----k----e----r? Very odd to use fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo as a replacement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_sequitur_(literary_device) It's up to you to determine how closely linked that is to humor. -

To be fair they were pretty easy to lump together from 1912 until somewhat recently. -

Just get a fast lane anyways if you aren't a local. -

The top hat track is slightly cantilevered inside the structure, which extends pretty far outside and slightly upward. There's some new wood and pretty wide beams in the following valley too. The ride could definitely be coming back for adjacent runs in spots but you usually get a setup like this in that case, to get back to that spot and climb to the same elevation would be odd unless it was tearing through the outerbank at very high speeds. The extra structure could be for themeing elements or something too, I'm just saying that the structure is odd and it's one possible explanation for it. -

It's mostly the fact that the extraneous structure across from the outerbanked hill looks like it would support something very similar to this. And the structure that follows that element is for two parallel low airtime hills. You could imagine there's just going to be a turnaround and it's going to go through those sections the other way, but you'd usually see diminishing heights in elements in that case, and I don't imagine the outerbank is going to be taken extremely fast in the first place. There's also more odd structure and wide beams across what's built so far. There's some bizzareness to the structure as it stands, and dueling elements explains it pretty well. -

The mean streak update twitter account has been pretty coy, assuming it's park PR. It had the 'their' thing and has pointed out the extra supports on the outer bank turn (and the MCBR). The outer banked turn and the wood facing it looks basically like an extended high five already, and TC is the only RMC to use this many of these super wide beams for support. Some video was showing side-by-side airtime hills following the outer bank too. Seems like a possibility to me. A "Showdown" theme would be an easy fit for frontierland. -

It looks like the ride has unusually wide beams across the structure, and there seems to be extra supports on other spots too. It's looking like a mobius racer to me now (maybe with a launch on the MCBR structure instead of a second lift to sync them up?) -

I'll guess that InvadR cost less than half of what this will though! -

It's a competitive coaster region, I imagine it would have some sort of marketable feature. -

Cedar Fair RMC dreams coming true. Hard to imagine what they'll do with this one, hopefully they add some height. I think there's good odds for a rollover drop. -

It is against park policy, but the airspace above the park is not their property at all. They have as much legal right to forbid air traffic as to forbid you from using your own bathroom, that is - none. As far as I can tell, the only faa regulation that would apply is flying over crowds, but since the park is empty, this is perfectly legal drone flight. Drones are also not supposed to exceed 400', but I can't tell if this one is.
