In my opinion they should set up our station like the millennium force station. It cuts down on the the que line/wait time and also allows for more riders per hour. Ill sacrifice a couple dollars for a locker in order for a shorter wait time.

My exact number was 328.8 feet, however we do not know the steepness of the drop so and exact right answer is impossible.


shh.. You gave away my secret on how I came up with 328 feet on the height guess thread. :) Nice work on that!

I am at the park right now. A lot of work being done as you come into the park. When you walk in they have cut down a lot of trees as well. I will post pictures later.

Awesome layout! One quick question, is the first drop vertical? It certainly looked like it in the offride shots. If it is, then I love your layout even more!

So I'm not the one who discovered this technique? :( Perhaps the ride is this:
Height: 328 feet
Drop: 325 feet

I'm giving you the credit since you detailed it in the thread. I just did some rough calculations myself based on the same information you did to get my previous guess of 328 feet. I wasn't as detailed as you, though, and I came up with a number less than 328 but rounded up.
