Could we see the (I think the first) B&M duel loading station on a coaster other than a flyer. I don't know any other type of B&M coaster that has them. This would be a first of its kind. I love how B&M is expanding into different designs and technology.

Therefore in the United States.

No way. There's absolutely no need for a dual loading station on this type of coaster.

There is absolutely no need for a dual loading station. There will not be two trains stacked on the brake run at once so that's why it's useless.

Hollywood Dream looks like the strangest B&M coaster ever, it was more of a carnival coaster appearance to it.

The trains are awesome at night though...

If our coaster does end up being 325 feet, then we should be able to beat the record by one or two mph. I did a little bit of math and found that Leviathan gets about one more mph every 3.3 feet in height. Leviathan goes around 93 mph with a 306 ft, 80 degree drop. Adding another 19 feet, assuming the trains and angle of the drop are the same, you get roughly 3-5 mph more. So if it is 325 feet, it could be as fast 97 or 98 mph! There's a lot of variables that could affect that though, so I guess we won't know for sure until it's built.

Unfortunately freefall velocity per height isn't linear. You need to go to 336 feet and fall without drag or friction to hit 100mph.

And the initial velocity adds less than you would think to the final velocity after falling that far. Increasing the lift speed from 10mph to 20mph adds less than 2 mph at the bottom.

That being said, if the first drop is over 307', this will likely be the fastest non-launch coaster in the world (but behind 7 launch coasters).

An interesting note: You would need a drop of around 750 feet to match Formula Rossa's launch speed of 149mph.

I don't see why there'd be any need for a dual load station. It'd be pretty pointless for a long out-and-back coaster like this.

I disagree that it'll be a out of the station lift. To my eyes it looks like the station will be toward the bathrooms in Thrill Zone, make a turn right and up the lift on the side of track closer to Hurler. And if the leaked layout is any indication, I think that's how it'll be.

^Was the first page of the layout (with the lift/station) ever leaked?

[Edwardo]

Hollywood Dream's turn back to the station doesn't go into a dual station. It's a normal turn and looks like the turn at the factory that we suspect is coming here.

[Jarsh]

You will not notice a difference in the angle between Leviathan and this one. We're only talking about 20' or so higher over a 400'-500' length of rise. The angular difference to make up 20' or so that high up will be invisible to the naked eye.

While that makes total sense geometrically speaking, do you know that's how they've designed this one for sure? I know you've seen the ride so I guess what you're saying is you have eyewitness evidence that this lift hill will generally be as steep as Leviathan's...

I don't know how steep Leviathan's lift is but this one will be 36.5°.

^Was the first page of the layout (with the lift/station) ever leaked?

No, but others have seen it.

^How steep is the drop? 85?

[Sfgacaro91]

You will know in 13 days lol

These 13 days will feel like over 9000.

The past 20 days have went by fast for me. When you do other things you really aren't just sitting all day thinking about the coaster, not saying you are.
