That is a really cool angle, that turn looks wickedly amazing!

[jjune4991]

Wow.

 

That is all.

[Funky Cold Medina]

I just came a bit.

[coasterfreak101]

Only legal in Texas.

[mr. cockblock]

Wow! This makeover is looking absolutely bonerific!

[Josh Linn]

I just came a bit.

 

I do agree though, that looks insane.

[CPmillenia94]

I expected it to be enclosed on that turn! Thats great! The head choppers are going to be insanely insane.

[coasterfreak101]

I don't think it'll be enclosed, that's just for support. I mean, it could be supported of course, but if it's not it wouldn't be a first:

If you take a quick glance at that crazy turn it looks like it might be going inverted for a corkscrew/barrel roll. This picture is awesome.

That turn looks like it should be on a Euro Fighter, not a hybrid. lol! Regardless, it's awesome!

I meant it would be enclosed BY the supports. Thats why those ledgers on top are there.

although I was sort of being sarcastic about taking ariel photos of the texas giant construction via helicopter being as the derek will be closed the rest of the year, I checked on pricing. Looks like $269 a person will get it done. 600lb total weight limit for two passengers not to exceed 300lbs per seat, so that leaves ace members out.

[BaMiTsPaT]

Holy God That turn is outrageous!!!! I can't wait to get down there and ride it!

[4rturo]

OMG! I can only picture those awesome trains going through that awesome turn

[coasterfreak101]

So the guy from Rocky Mountain said that they were planning on pushing trains a month from IAAPA, right? That's what, three weeks away? I can't wait!

[coastercrutchfield]

I'm probably going to go a couple times over the holiday break so this is exciting! Can't wait to see if they will be testing it. I will surely be taking some video then

Only steers and queers...

[ElToroExtreme]

OMG that is soooo insane!!!

[jynx242]

I'm eager to see this thing run the course. It could be AMAZING! I truly, truly hope this works!

[chadster]
