An additional full speed pass would really help Dirk.

That sounds like a six flags move... Paying extra for a special full speed train. :lol:

There's supposed to be a hold at the top of the reverse tower.

RIP extra full height pass on wicked twister.

*moment of silence*

Well, looks interesting. I like the concept but i really hope it speeds up a lot more for those first few passes. Those catwalks are really ugly too
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

It's still early testing and the ride has about 2 months before opening so it wouldn't surprise me if we see it going faster later.

I don't know about you guys, but it's extremely apparent that the ride will go much faster in later test runs.

The only thing I'd hope to go faster are the first few launches. (And hopefully at least a pass back and forth more.) Especially if you look how high the car vs the track is on the last launch. It won't be able to do much more, otherwise you're bumping into the rubber stopper at the end of the track.

Yeah additional speed launches like Intamin Impulse always thrill me! I freakin' love that squeaky sound! Well, in this case what about making splashes everytime the ride speeds up?

:)

Whats that little thingy sticking off to the right of the track? Part of the drain?

I imagine so - so kind of sluice gate to make sure it doesn't overfill.

Hang on - are the upstop wheels higher than the main wheel assembly?

When they increase the water level I bet the train partially floats.

Definitely could use an extra pass back and forwards. This is just too short imo...

it's not due to open for just under a month, so they might tweak the ride cycle before then.
