I believe the layout shows a zero g then an oversize cork. Regardless, I recall someone saying it's a mockup of their take on a potential layout in NoLimits (on another forum, TPR maybe). When we see something from Cedar Fair it will be Keith McVeen's polished work.
In order for a wing rider to work I really think they need to have multiple of those near miss/keyhole elements that we saw on X-Flight, Swarm, and Raptor and not so much of on Eagle.
Looks like this will be happening with the entrance pillars:
This is just a real beauty! One small thing that I have to say about the ride, though, is that the end seems anticlimactic, but hopefully that's just me. This thing still looks awesome though.
Yea the MCBR is kinda close to the end but it's pretty much for blocking purposes the get three trains going otherwise there would probably be something else there.
holy crap! I've never really seen them do anything like that! Pretty neat none the less. ^^Lol. It did kinda look like that at first! EDIT: If you look at the second view, right before it hits the ground the car shoots to the top!
It looks really cool and that color scheme is good for the park, but I just gotta say those keyholes are huge. They are much bigger than I was expecting and much less frightening than they could be.
I was thinking the same thing... But with heads and feet in the picture it may be closer than we think. I've seen it in person just in a distance. A few friends that are there now say that it's closer than it looks... But we'll find out in May!

So I'm hoping I'll get to test ride during training week cause I know we'll be constantly cycling. I'll let you know, but this will be the only wing coaster I've ever been on so I can't compare
