That track is about to get real twisty!

It's now this construction is really starting to become interesting!

I wonder what the official trains will look like.

I wonder what the official trains will look like.

Those are some images from a google search for storm chasing that they may be drawing upon for ideas. I'm sure they'll nail it.

I would love it if the trains looked like the armoured vehicle in that second photo.

Ed Farmer · October 12, 2015

Only if they came with the various ridiculous antennae.

That's the TIV, Sean Casey's tornado hunting vehicle.

I'm not sure if it's still on Netflix, but look up the show Storm Chasers. It's the only reality show I actually enjoyed.

It's happening! Looks great so far!

From the pics it looks like that RMC is learning from their mistakes and using no paint on the strip of track the wheels run on (which was slowing down their new rides, according to sources at WC's media day). I'm interested to see if that's what it is or if I'm just mistaken.

This coaster already looks amazing, and it's no where near done. I can not wait to see this construction progress.

The weather couldn't be more fitting.

I was thinking the same thing while looking at the pictures.

lbeeler · October 13, 2015

The Rendering made this ride look like trash. It's going to be epic!

I agree, we had a nice little storm roll through with wind, little bit of lightning, and thunder. I think the storm wanted to include all 3 coasters here in the Louisville area last night.

That's what it looks like--should be awesome to see this running "as intended."

The fact that the roll doesn't heartline back up above the height of the pre-drop should make for a very fast speed taken. I like!

If it rides anything like Medusa, it's less of a roll and more of a crazy, upside-down dive. Trust me, it's awesome.

Drove past on my way home from work looks like the drop is completed couldn't get pics.

I was thinking the same thing. Can't wait to ride this coaster. I have been curious to see how one of these inverted divey dropy things rides! Looks awesome.
