RCDB says it's a twisted horsehoe roll...

 

Anyway, I can't wait to see this up and running! The trains are awesome, it's gonna have a dark section, and it has the coolest elements ever!

It can't get better...

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Go Mack! (Hope it's smooth; looks like it.)

[Richard]

OMG, seriously. This ride has totally just come outta the blue ('scuse the pun).

 

I'm really excited about it too! And excited which parks will be interested in getting one after this one opens.

 

And it's themed to Iceland, such an awesome country.

[DiSab]

Wow, I didn't even notice the THR until just now.

[MixedDrink]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Go Mack! (Hope it's smooth; looks like it.)

 

You should be Mack's cheerleader!

M-A-C-K

Gooooo Mack!

Dear God.....

 

Check out the third photo on the link above for the first part of the overbank out of the loop.... is it me or is that stupidly low... i mean that looks about 1/3 of the height of the loop....

Going to fly through that at some speed. this ride just gets better and better.

I think this coaster might be rocketing in my top ten.

thats really hard to believe.... its seems like you`ll be fast in this curve!! very fast.... i mean extrem fast can`t wait to ride this thing! after the first pics i saw of this element i can`t believe that this curve comes after the loop.... it really looks insane

[Thelegendarymatthew]

Well we said the same thing(well at least I did) about Maverick and that worked out fine, although that inversion never was on the coaster. I can't wait to see this coaster when its finished, its going to bring more thrill seekers to the park

Uh, I'm not sure, but whts the big, turn-that-is-overbanked thats in the 11th pic?

[Gutterflower]

Hey

 

That's the element the ride launches into first.

certainly an odd shape though

[jamjar]

Ah, okay lol, my bad

 

Looks amazing though!

It doesn't look like that turn comes from the loop. The pullout angle from the loop would be a bity insane if it did. Might be the angle of the photo tho.. i cant see for sure.

[coolhandluke]

^He's talking about the incomplete track that extends the farthest right, not the completed turn overlapped by the tree (which I think you are referring to). The first and second pics are close-ups of the mentioned turn. Which, by the way, is indeed crazy low to the ground given the expected speed.

[Lalle555]

It doesn't go straight into that turn after the loop. check this picture out. you see that they haven't connected the track leading from the loop yet. the low-to-the-ground turn you're talking about comes from/leads into a barrel-roll

The picture you are looking at is outdated.

That turn is complete, the turn we are talking about is coming from the loop, this picture doesn't show the newly constructed turn.

[nomorefloor]

see look at this picture http://www.epfans.info/bild.php?c=24&ord=2290

[DBru]

Wow, this coaster is turning out to be completely INSANE!

 

Regarding the trains...what an awesome idea! They look pretty comfy and efficient to me...

[Olov]

I don't know if anybody else saw this earlier, but its either the concept art is wrong or mack made a mistake with the supports. Take a look,

 

 

Concept Art

 

 

 

Actual

 

 

Don't think those are mistakes. And now they're on the brakerun supports too...

And that turn is definitely after the loop, it's the only incomplete elements left to do, the turn, brakerun and drop into the corks-thingys

[CHILLERLC1]

I think this could end up being better than Maverick. I hate those Maverick restraints.

[Kooky]

New pics on http://www.epfans.info/?id=2301,2&&

 

Oh that curve before the brakes looks....

 

the layout gets better and better! I`m really looking forward how they will connect it after the brakes

 

what this things on support will be is till now unknown!!! first the most people think they where to build walls which save the neighbours of the park from noise... because they protested and forced the park that they will do something on the track parts the people scream to loud and they can build on this things the walls fast if they are needed. But some of them look in antoher direction were no one lives. so by the way we had to wait till its done to get known for what these things are
