Anyways, the top of that track does look very Intamin-like. And I also think this will be a launch coaster... a very fast one too.


True and I think you're right. Personally, i'd rather have a hyper than a launch but that's just my opinion.

^Me too. If I had to compare Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster I'd take Force. Of course, the Magnum is the only other hyper I've ridden (meh, it's average) so I don't know what a B&M feels like. Launched coasters just end too quickly. But I still love the Maverick... If anyone here has ridden Diamondback, could they tell me what it's like?

Diamondback is great. Very smooth, pretty forceful, and EXTREME airtime. You are out of your seat during literally half the ride! But, I could just be biased :D .

Yes, but B&M didn't build the launch.

Not sure if WL was the first or not. There were 2 that year, and WL was one of them.

^ Coaster Parts should start showing up within the next 3 weeks. There is still a fair amount of work to be done on the site for right now.

Keep your eyes out for piping, digging, drainage tubing and more markings by next week.
