The red track definitely looks a little more intense than the blue one. The first drop is obviously curved a little bit and that mixed with the angle of the shot is what mmakes it look so steep. Still looks fun though.

I just noticed that there's a station fly through thing. I wish this was in the US.

The station flythrough thing you're referring to looks a lot like the final brake run. I think it just happens to be in the station.

To hard to tell from those angles. I was trying to figure it out earlier.

I checked all over, and the "fly through" is just the lead in to the brake run, kinda opposite from rebel yell and ki's racer, instead of a turn out of the station, the trains fly past the station to the brakes then make the turn back into the station after the brake run.

GG's do have strong lateral forces, and from what I've seen, their transitions aren't all that drawn out...no they're not almost instant like CCI did on most of their turns, but they're no RCCA either.


Yeah I know...I've been on a few....but it's not the same. GG's way feels overengineered while CCI's felt genuinely out of control.

What's the point of a racing coaster if one side is more than a train lenght ahead?

^ I'd guess thats just part of the NL recre. Its not exact. They probrably gave someone the layout, and they did the best they could.

Fairly certain that's exported. I think their train timing was just off...looks like the track on the right will need to be either slower at the lift apex, or behind going up the lift. I'm sure it won't be a problem with the real one.

I wish they would have left the top part of the screen in the video so we could get an Idea of what the forces may be. Looked like it had some insane airtime, hard to tell just by watching though.

The lift speeds will probably change or a train will be dispatched before the other.

Looks pretty bad ass, but I personally think the new GCI in China looks better. And actually, the Blue track looks more intense.

I think you should at least wait until an animation is up of the GCI to decide which is better. I love the layout of this one; looks like it'll be a really awesome ride, and so does the GCI.

Looks like there'll be no handrail between the tracks on the "high five" bit of the track, which will be cool.

Indeed. I'm honestly really excited about this ride. Dueling coasters always intrigue me for some reason. Especially ones with unique elements.

I bet it will be called Racing Coaster or High Five Coaster
