^I'm sorry but I can't see your image. Am I the only one?

^Wow! And I thought the intamin 1st gen ones were already insane!

Star Wars

^Definitely better than anything that has "coaster" in the name

^Come on! Don't feel sorry for that. You've been the source of almost everything since construction began! By the way, are we still getting the POV tomorrow?

God I have to go on one of those soon! Are they that awesome?

That's the spirit!

^They say nearly 200 (which is still awesome) in 3 seconds. If this is accurate, the launch should be very forceful (more than kk and TTD). Also, given that speed, I think it is relatively safe to say it will reach the 400 feet mark Can't wait!

Well what matters here is, like you said, where it stops accelerating because that's where the freefall feeling ends (or when the acceleration goes well below 9.8). It looks like it will deliver a nice punch and it will be for sure intimidating facing down, but it just doesn't seem like it will be actual freefall for a long time. I guess we'll just have to wait for someone to ride it.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Interesting.. I would say what I hear the most is the opposite, that it's very overrated.

Well it's very quick so I assume not as "disturbing"

^Well the car seems pretty heavy, and the heavier it is the less significant the drag will be, which means acceleration closer to the 9.8 m/s^2

^You're right. I said it looked funny. I know it's there for safety reasons and I have seen it before but I still find it odd, that's all. Also, when I said funny I was talking about the picture in general: the guys' faces, the fact that he's being interviewed while riding,... not just the duct tape. The exterior should be finished by July, including a snack bar. Interior/queue, as well as more buildings (a shop and a bakery) not until next season unfortunately. Thanks. Well, that's always better than no theming. At least it means there is still plenty to do.

^Agree, and I also wish they would replace at least some of the five heartline rolls for different inversions. I mean, there are so many of them you could almost have a ride with 15 inversions without repeating one. Anyway, even less to go now!

No, you are wrong, the further away from the track the seats are, the bigger the radius of the hill will become, and the less force you will feel. We are not talking about a big difference in height on the two trains, but there is a difference. The radius may be bigger but the speed will also be higher, so I'm not sure where that leaves us. Anyway, like you said, the difference is not that big. I reckon the biggest difference will be felt during sideways transitions.

^That's what I was thinking: none of the POVs look that insane. But I totally believe the ride must be extremely intense, it's just that some coaster that never seem quite as intense as they actually are when you look at a POV.

I knew tornado was pretty good. But I had no idea how insane it was!! Now I want to ride it so badly!!

^And also in the twisty transitions, there is a lot more lateral movement as they are higher so I think that's where the biggest difference will be felt.

Well let's really hope this is temporary, otherwise Dragon Khan may end up in the Worst ride "neuters" thread.

Nice shots. Interesting, initially, I thought the roll looked faster than superman's but now I counted the seconds and it's the same. Just one question, are the station and tunnels going to look like that or is there anything they will still add?
