The post launch hill-drop-turnaround is coming along quickly and nicely!

Looks like they are installing the heartline right now.

I bet before the end of the week we see updates from the CP website with pictures around that roll and hill.

[gunslinger]

Hahah, I JUST saw the Ebaum link. Prepare for bandwidth rape.

[jbuck]

oh no not the bandwith NOT THE BANDWITH

[vjgx]

Awwwwww jeez... eBaums + TPR = NOT GOOD

 

 

So yeah, I wonder what'll happen... probably nothing, though.

[DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY]

they didn't move anything right, b/c to me it looks like where Magnum was........

[Real]

The heartline roll is up. This could be one of the single most craziest elements Ive seen in awhile.

Due to the banking after the roll which makes it a semi-roll, it looks like yet another 270 degree roll haha. Just keep rollin rollin rollin!

Not that you wouldn't know the link anyway, but yes, it's true.

I guess the brakes after the launch are to make sure you dont enter this roll going too fast, can you imagine going through that at 70 instead of 50 or 60? This thing looks CRAZY.... I cant wait!

[dandaman]

I'd already said it before: The heartline would be the most insane part of the ride. It's even more so than I thought!

 

Dan "Is this even a Casey-approved ride? " Smith

[gotdane]

The heartline looks INTENSE! Can't wait to ride it!

 

And, according to the stats page, the ebaums link has given something like 11,000 views to this thread since last night.

[vjgx]

^Well now at least we know that the servers can withstand it!

 

Oh, and yeah. That heartline roll = insanity!

[downunder]

That heartline really stood out in the animation for me as well, the next generation of head choppers - head smashers, it will scary at speed.

 

I was non plussed when I first saw 105 foot height but I am warming to this coaster big time, how many other good ones out there that are a bit over 100 foot - Nemesis, Batman inverts, Hulk and so on.

[TexTitan01]

They already got the stengel up? Sheesh this is really truckin along...They'll probably have the rest of the layout up to the station finished before my homecoming (oct. 6). That heartline looks like it will be quite forceful, I bet it will feel amazing

 

This ride looks like it will have it all. Airtime, inversions, launches, crazy drops, and sidewinding; the people at Intamin have really put some thought into this

 

My hats off to you, Intamin Gods!

[aro26]

^ yeah they are really movin along. if u look at the webcams, u can see that the lake has already been filled up and they are about to install the overbanked element!! cant wait to ride this monster, its gonna be AWESOME!!!

me on the heartline roll:

[Coasterlicious]

Ive never been on an intamin with inversions...

 

I cant wait.!!!!

 

 

( wait I take that back... does wicked twister and dragster count as inversions?.. or wait.. wtf are inversions...upside down only?. or like what?..BLAH cant you tell im like the best coaster person ever... ha.

Heartline...so...intense...must...speak...in...one...word....phrases

 

But seriously, this thing is starting to look really sexy (especially that first jumbled shot)

The first little overbank reminds me of that funky twisty part on Storm Runner.

[CP_RULES]

Theres a new construction diary entry today at the Maverick website. Sounds like trackwork is nearing completion. http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/latest/diary/

 

EDIT with webcam pic:

[ECZenith]

The overbank and heartline rolls are sick-looking! I can't wait to see the theming start coming in after trackwork is done.

[TheStig]

Does anybody besides me thing that the roll is going to snap a few necks?
