It's like a ballet, only it doesn't suck!

that layout sucks.

^which one?
-JDP

It looks ugly, I don't think a coaster that big should have such a color scheme, but the racer looks beautiful in the snow.

the giga.

Maybe you can tell more about why you don't like it ? 





I personally like it a lot, the lifthill with only 2(?) supports is just such a great idea, which I like a lot, gives an open feeling . 

boring. theres basically one big hill after the drop and the rest is so low to the ground. it just doesn't look very apealing. no big swooping turnarounds, nothing. look at the millenium force layout and compare it to this.

i don't know i love airtime and intense corners and this coaster seems to have both in spades.

rmm, i think you're wrong with the millennium comparison. especially after riding maverick and experiencing how fun tight direction changes can be i think this will prove to be a winner. the overbanks on millennium are nothing to write home about while this will provide more spots of airtime than millennium does

I agree with Gee about the tight direction changes. They look like a lot of fun.

gee got the right idea.

it just seems so low to the ground after the first airtime hill. and i agree on the maverick part but it just doesn't seem like something a 300 foot high coaster would do.

^Hopefully I can let you know by April.

Gee's completely right. People completely overlook laterals as an awesome design element. Maverick and El Toro are two coasters I can think of that use tight twists and turns in addition to airtime hills. Surprisingly enough, they're my two favorite coasters.

So yeah, I think this will be sick. I'm feeling Kings Dominion/BGW trip sometime soon.
