This looks like a pretty awesome prototype in reality - I'm know there are some gripes with the final layout, but this could be the beginning of some pretty insane spinners popping up all over the place!

Wow, looks like a really fun coaster. I just hope that the magnetic brakes to slow the spinning aren't too powerfull. But even if it doesn't spin that much, it still looks like a very fun ride.

This thing sure looks insane. I really hope this will be an awesome kickstart for more insane spinners around the world. <3

Is it bad if I think the idea is kind of stupid?

No! Thank you for sharing your opinion! I am very glad you have unique perspectives. If you so desire, please share the details behind your perspective, I would be glad to hear it.

In all seriousness,

I love the concept. I just think rides that launch and into brakes 200 feet later are a waste of energy. Not only do you have to power that launch but the brakes work harder because its coming in at a high speed..... Not very efficient
What are these for?

That's partially why I think it's kind of dumb...

Track is complete, a few brakes still need to be installed, aswell as the trains that haven't showed up yet.

Seeing how it's Mack and most of us has seen that Blue Fire test spinning car. I think we have a good idea of how they could look. :lol:
I wouldn't be surprised if they are waiting with the trains until IAAPA. Good advertisement.

Yeah, they'll probably unveil them at IAAPA.

^ That must be hilariously fun, IMO, as a partly enclosed layout! :lol:

Man, I wasn't expecting them to be so big! Super awesome looking trains. The leg room will be great and I wonder if a high heart line will affect the spinning.

Pretty sure that disk on the side is for the magnetic controlled spinning, I doubt it's brake/launch fins...

Hyped!
