It's such a goofy looking drop lol. The right side of the picture should look pretty neat when they add the S turn that goes over the loop.

It actually looks really good in person. And from the ground it doesn't look its height at all. It looks no larger than Karacho even though it's over 50 feet taller.

Is it just me or is the stall part on the first drop steeper than the one on Takabisha?

It's steeper. Probably for the longer train.

Hmmm I was expecting them to go with more colored lights. We'll see what happens.

Love the Double Down (If the exit of a turn is counted as one drop...) into Cobra Roll, which looks powerful! :)

I love the anti-shake supports that this and Junker share that just connect two track pieces on the loop lol.

The first drop looks so tame with that steep brake before the drop. :lol:

Hopefully a pop of ejector in the back rather than a tame bit of short floater.

I'm honestly afraid this infinity coaster will be slow and float through everything like Monster at Adventureland. But if it's not, this could be quite the intense little sequence of elements. I think I might try to opening day this one.

It seems like guests will make a plunge into the wave from the top of a vertical tower. The sloping part looks like a surfboard to me. :)

Connor, that is done on purpose to give hangtime.

Obviously. The point I made was a preference for Gerstlauers that take their elements faster like Karacho, Karnan, or Fluch Von Novgorod.

And yes, I'm absolutely asking for a coaster named Hangtime to not have hangtime.

Plus Karacho still has hangtime on its cork right? If it's anywhere near as fast as the animated POV (we can only pray) it should be a hella fun ride.

In addition, Connor, I'm gonna try to opening day it as well. Hope to see y'all there lol
Ok but how desperate you have to be to voluntarily fly from another country to go to Thorpe?

I don't remember Karacho's cork having hangtime per se?
