pryonisys Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 In theory I should be making it to BGW in 2020 so I'm excited for this announcement. If it's like the leak from a few months ago it will be cool, but it will be fun to see what they do with theming and precise placement (not just someone's NoLimits2 rendering/interpenetration) Lets be really honest though, I love this park so I'm sure I'll like whatever they put in.

But the more proximate, the more pleased I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America? sounds fun. edit - now that the track layout is showing above too? it certainly looks like it has multiple inversions. Weird they aren't hyping that, but wow, that looks so great.

pryonisys Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Lots of complaining about the live feed around the internet, but whatever. Technology has issues sometimes, if it didn't I wouldn't have a job. It looks like this should be fun, it will be interesting to see the official POV when it's released, even though that's not completely necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
