Looks like it's running exactly the same as ever... That 1:37 hill always ran like that, and the train has no problem picking right back up where it left off for those last few turns and dips. Awesome ride, and this addition looks so cool!

Yeah, but there's still a pace killer at 1:37 in the full POV. According to a POV before the renovation, it was a little faster there.


That was designed like that on purpose. They wouldn't bother installing antirollbacks in that spot if it was intended to fly over that.

Keep in mind the train hasn't broken in yet, and a great majority of the midwest has had a high of like 70 degrees for the past few days. Since the high is only 70, if they filmed this in the morning before opening, it's a train that hasn't been broken in yet, it's coldish out (like in the 50's), and it is an empty train.

TLDR: It'll go faster in the future

I kinda figured that. The going faster in the future, I mean (I saw the Smiler POV and the Beast testing POV and they were kinda slow).

so, not to be a troll or anything, but, i still dont classify any of these rocky mountain engineering "looping wooden coasters" to be wooden. sure, the supports are clearly made of wood, but, the rails are steel. i refuse to see this hybrid style as a true wooden coaster, although all 3 rides sure are ***y.

The 1:37 hill didn't used to have antirollbacks. I don't know if they were added after it hung up on the turnaround a couple years ago or recently for the timberliners but it definitely didn't have them in 2007.

Lol the original turnaround is featured at the end of that movie 'This Is the End' and it made me miss the ride so much =((
But then I recalled that the turnaround is now a trilli times better and missed/yearned for it harder.
