This will be a great addition! Two thoughts:

 

I wonder how insane that first hill will be... It's RMC, we have yet to see a single standard hill from them, so I'm sure we will see some craziness in airtime.

 

Red track again,ugh!

It's neither cheap, easy, or practical to dig a 100 foot deep tunnel. Apparently Roller Coaster Tycoon is catching on again.

It follows TT's old footprint almost exactly. It looks like they really are making the most of what have. I am super excited to ride this. So does this count as a new credit?

It's definitely not standard! It looks like a Medusa-style barrel roll drop.

Looks like I'll need to add this park to my trip to Holiday World, King's Island, and Cedar Point next year. This looks awesome. I wanted to go this year but the timing just didn't work out with their schedule.

That first drop looks like it could have been the "wing over" drop style that RMC proposed for Predator a few years back.

 

This layout looks like it could be the most intense RMC we've seen yet. Those airtime hills may pull off -2 gs at the crests. I hope that I can get out to ride this next year, as Kentucky Kingdom really is becoming a big thing. Those off-axis airtime hills look extremely intense as well.

Kentucky Kingdom rebuilt the correct wood coaster and decided to get rid of the correct one also. The only thing that I think is a bummer is that it won't duel.

Right? So are they going to just demolish one half of the Twisted Twins? This would be a bummer.

You know they will add a flat or two back there to fill that space. I am excited to see that area come back to life. It is one of the nicer looking sections of the park. Another good place to eat back there would be nice too.

Maybe in 2017, the other side will be Storm's Revenge. And even better, they will turn it into a Möbius loop coaster.

 

I'm overthinking. This one is already amazing.

Well, if nothing happens to the structure, we can expect a future for it. Either way, I'm really excited for this, and it's definitely going to be included in my 2016 plans.

I am very happy that RMC has designed what looks like another awesome ride. Hopefully, I'll get to Kentucky Kingdom soon and check it out.

I think the reason some people are saying the ride looks bland is because of the crappy video leaving a bad impression.

 

For the amount that can be done with NL2, the video was pretty bland.

 

But the layout should impress the GP big time. This might be the most intense RMC yet. Not one design they have created so far have I heard anyone complain about. It is good to see that everything they have created is both unique with a lot of intensity.

One of the lift hills is already gone. It's safe to say they aren't bringing the other side back.

This looks great and I love that first drop into the airtime hill. The only thing I'm bummed about is the fact that the other side will be torn down. If they had enough money to keep both sides this could have been an epic dueling coaster, but for what it is it's great and should bring a lot of business to the park.

 

Are they using the Lola side?

With Holiday World adding Thunderbird and Kentucky Kingdom adding this in back to back years it's almost a guarantee we'll be making a midwest trip next year. This looks awesome.

It's definitely not standard! It looks like a Medusa-style barrel roll drop.

Which itself bears a striking resemblance to the Smiler's drops, only entered in a Gatekeeper-like fashion.
