The size of the track makes it difficult to realize how huge this thing is.

The scaling of this thing is so weird. It doesn't look that big until you see this weeee little suspended underneath it.

I'm surprised. That actually looks pretty speedy. The ending is still a joke but damn.

Looks nice and fast so far. But I'm afraid it will be slower due a holding brake and probably slower wheels.
Coastercount: 1410 (I've seen the world and it's horrid contraptions... @.@)

Woah! That's crazy man, haha! I'm guessing the crane tipped over and broke haha, wow! I hope everyone's ok! :!:


And as far as the POV, goes I think this looks awesome! Granted, it will run a little faster once it's broken in and during summer, but the hangtime looks great! The layout, all of the inversions, it looks incredible! I love dive machines! And that drop... that'll be legendary! As far as the second half, I think it's a nice addition!

Seems like Yukon Striker has a similar baggage system to the one used on Western Regions Heaven at Happy Valley, Chengdu:
