Hmm, maybe I can make a detour on my way back from Texas this summer.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang

It has been so much fun with social media and websites keeping tabs on the construction of new rides and attractions, I remember following the construction of Millennium Force and SFMM's Goliath in 1999-2000, and updates were not as frequent, and now parks supply us with a lot of updates some daily/weekly. Amazing PR work by Silver Dollar City!

Is the front seat going to be open like that or will it eventually be closed

[CpBluestreakCp]

Wow, this ride looks great! Love that first drop, it just dominates over everything.

[Randomman295]

It's about time testing started. Looks beautifully brutal and I can't wait for a chance to ride this beast.

Why does the main drop remind me so much of X2s? Hopefully the drop has loads of airtime in the back half of the train.

Oh sweet shitballs!

 

Top 3 woodie, right there.

[Double0Kevin]

Mmmmm... Yes please.

I have a feeling there is a front piece that has not been added. Probably for the ease of getting the water dummies in and out or something along those lines.

um, try the ENTIRE train having loads of airtime on that first drop. Every 80 degree drop or more coaster I've been on is a butt lifter no matter what seat you sit in. Granted, it will be more intense in the back half. But I expect airtime will be had in every seat all over it's entire illegal journey (giggle).

[Randomman295]

^Speaking of which, how much airtime do you think The Wave (that 90 degree airtime hill, not to be confused with wave turn) will have?

[robbalvey]

Wow! Silver Dollar City just sent me even MORE pics! http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1276704#p1276704

The REAL question: Do the test dummies get to keep the t-shirts as souvenirs?

Is it me or is each picture of this amazing looking ride just wonderful? Man this is what they call a photogenic coaster.

[Ccron10]

Glad I'm going on the Midwest Trip! My expectations on this coaster just bumped up a few spots! Loved what I saw in the partial POV, but can't wait to see the complete one!

[TyRush]

Incredible! Wish i didnt live 18hours away!

[Mrlittle]

The train looks amazing, the coaster looks amazing. (I sound like a broken record) I love that the train hauls butt up the lift hill. Hey RMC, I think I love you.

[kailisun98]

[jray21]

Wow, that really does look amazing! I just hope I can get there this year!

[scbt]

Mmmmm... Yes please.

I think they will, the renders for it have had these really awesome looking fronts as seen below.

This ride is looking so good I may actually consider flying Allegiant Air from Orlando to check it out...!

Whoa whoa whoa...let's not get too carried away now!

[SuperBuckalew]

Where are the air gates in the station?

[cal1br3tto]

...And the latest round of photos astounds once again. It needs to be time for me to ride this.

You mean it's time for TPR to have ERT on it...and go crazy!

[traincrossin]

My best guess is they're either invisible or haven't been installed yet.
