Yeah I also noticed that. I would say it depends on how banked it is. If it is like outlaw run's then okay but I wouldn't count a regular overbank as one.
I'm looking forward to seeing what it really is.
I'm sure that what would be painful (and nasty for the trains/chain) would be to meet the chain slower than it's moving.
Does entering the lift faster than the chain really cause that much wear?
^I actually really enjoyed it. It wasn't rough at all (at least on my rides), pretty forceful and the seating arrangement added some extra fun.
Ok not quite the same as a GIB but definitely a nice ride.
