Yeah i was a little skeptical of the MM "announcement". If that launch was any faster than Do-dodonpa's, it would turn dangerous. 1-111mph in 1.6 seconds is unbeatable.

Hoping the top hat doesn't invert but if it does, its's not the end of the world . . .

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Is there a decent chance this is what our ride could look like? That looks amazing to me and exceed my expectations.

Edit: and no I don’t mean in terms of cosmetic. I mean layout. I have seen the “leak” design but I’m far from a coaster expert. Just saying this looks really awesome if fairly accurate.

I think its a great ride but I think ours will still be the #1 new coaster in 2019. More inversions and being a launch should make it "better", I think they will be great coasters and great additions to each park!

OMG they added a vertical loop to gold striker? Now people will liken it to son of beast. . .

I disagree. I'm extremely excited for Yukon Striker. It easily looks to be the best and most exciting dive coaster (of course, we'll see once I get on it). In fact, I'm so excited for it, I'm purposely planning a trip to Toronto next year just to ride it.
But yeah, our announcement should one-up it.

I think you are right, it will definitely be the best dive coaster, probably just for the loop alone! I dont blame you at all for going on a trip to Toronto for it! I like the drops on the dive coasters, I think this one having the MCBR a little further out is great. The ride just isnt all to different from other dive coasters, but it still will be fast and probably a lot of fun. You will definitely have to let us all know how it is! I think the speed alone make it the best dive coaster! I would love to see B&M do a dive coaster without a MCBR or maybe one with a launch in the middle :lol:

Could this be where the ride "plaza" entrance and sign etc goes? Or is is where a support will be for the first loop? Also where its completely flat from the trucks etc driving, could this possibly be where path will go as well?

[quote="RiDeWaRrIoR"]Here are a few pictures from today. I know the camera is back up so we can all see the site but thought I would share a couple from the ground. Last pictures before we know everything about the coaster on Thursday! Cant wait to go to the announcement :D

How do you get to go to the announcement?
