I think that will be great in back row, especially for people not expecting it, with the lateral jerk into head chopper.

At least it's actually white and not brown like in the rendering. Looks so tiny lol.

It does look pretty small, especially looking at that first roll. Even though this one is really short, I think it's gonna pack a good punch. Once the hype dies down, the track and train are a few seasons deep, and you can find time for the lines to be short, this will be an awesome roller coaster to binge ride like 5-10 times in a row.

I hope they just don't support the part after the second roll and just leave it like that

World's first skijump on a roller coaster. Think of the GP's reactions.

First of all, Six Flags still hasn't updated the in-app map.
Secondly, when I saw Twisted Cyclone on one of the maps in the park, it looked to me like it has another lap added to it. I need a second opinion. It could be that the people who made the image on the map didn't get rid of the rest of the old ride, but I don't know for sure.

I don't know why the picture turned sideways

They're adding 500ft (somewhere around 1500 meters?) to the end.

You did your conversion wrong. 500 ft would be around 150 meters

Where did you find out that they are adding a additional 500 feet to the coaster? RCDB says 2,400 feet.

Alan confirmed at IAAPA that there would be some slight changes to the layout from what was shown in the animation, though 500 ft is not very much.

If the finished project has any changes from the preview I doubt it will be anything more than simple changes in banking or profile in a few spots. Similar to how Wicked Cyclone gained an outward banked turn along the way.

Yeah almost every RMC animation for Six Flags has had a slight change. Twisted Colossus's zero g stall unbanked the wrong way, as did Joker's. Twisted Colossus also lacked a small airhill at the very end in the animation. A few minor changes might add up to the length discrepancy.

As for the construction progress, the wave turn looks very nice!

Looks like the ride will have a cool little lift emblem

Two pictures of the overbank and the lift with the sign.

It seems to be that the overbank has been reprofiled from what the animation showed.

Yeah the whole thing is a lot lower. It drops down from the hop on the entrance (as opposed to starting from a level plane) then also hops back up entering the hop afterwards.
