It's like they took a normal ride and then stretched everything vertically.

Of course!

If you have them. Why didn't you post them yet?
If you don't. Why the *beep* did you ask?

This is exactly what Six Flags parks never do! Goosebumps! Ancient themings that go perfectly well with these wicked elements. Geologically calculated terrains and geometrically beautiful inversions. 8-)

I'm not following this layout at all.

**Nevermind I get it... that dive loop has a mad double down.

Wow, track is almost completed! Looking great, although a bit short. :(

That looks seriously impressive - the additional building makes the tower look far less out of place!

That plastic though....
On topic this looks like a great ride, a bit short, but unless theres a trim in there that roll and final helices will pack some serious speed
What are these for?

I really should try and kill a day at this park. I could go hiking for like a week afterwards and not run out of things to see.

The plastic is covering up the unfinished water feature.

The rolls are coming out of the MCBR so they might stop it completely there.

There still is something they are hiding from us right? I remember some sort of "secret" element.

There's a MCBR? I see the dive loop over the station and the a dip into the roll. To have a have a mcbr there seems like 1. a waste of potential speed, and 2. an excess of wear and tear on the brake parts

edit : Nevermind I was seeing the layout wrong, ignore me

The roll isn't connected to the dive loop. Look closely, the dive loop drops down into that steep overbank, then an ascending S curve into the brakes which are behind the tower. A left hand turn into the unbuilt first of two rolls will complete what we can see of the layout.

This ride looks epic. I still can't believe a park like Lagoon can build something like this.

The only thing I don't like about this coaster is the name. Just why?

They are still saying 3 inversions? There are honestly going to be 4.

Doesn't the immelman take the title of "World's tallest inversion" away from Gatekeeper?

Every update this ride starts to look more sick by the moment. I'm actually getting hyped by this ride!
