Will it ever run three trains though? That is the real question.
Tell that to the people that've suffered The Big One running half a train during peak times - which was several times this past peak season.Probably at peak season. Even with 3 trains, it will probably only pull between 750 and 1,000 pph. And the operations at the PB aren't terrible.
the layout is so tight and the transitions look really snappy
BPB has some amazing rides, it just depends on what you do and don't like. Grand National is my number 4 coaster, above Kumba, Montu, Nemesis & Hulk to name a few rides that people seem to drool over.

You know, I thought this looked fairly fun the first time I watched the NL2 pov but the more I've watched it, the more I've realised this is actually a really great mixture of a layout. It looks like there should be some good moments of airtime, loads of fantastic headchoppers (of which the video can do no justice), snappy transitions, low to ground sections, well placed inversions. There is plenty there to be genuinely excited about. The only issue with NL2 is that it doesn't really convey speed very well, so it's quite hard to tell just how each of those elements will be taken. 49mph doesn't seem like much on paper, and I know this is more about the "illusion" of speed, but that's the only way I can see this ride falling down in experience.
Those of you who rate Helix, what are your initial thoughts on this? Do you think it'll touch Helix at all in terms of experience?
Yes, because we all think like this of course.This is why people don't value opinions from British enthusiasts. Just so you know.
Honestly not that excited for it in terms of it being a top 5 ride. If it were being built in a major European park I honestly would hardly bat an eyelid.
Of course, if you're not American your opinion is invalidThis is why people don't value opinions from British enthusiasts. Just so you know.
I really am not being harsh though - in my opinion it is one of the worst inversions I've ever done. It's awkward, uncomfortable and just has loads of hangtime (and I detest hangtime).Ironically enough that worst ride I had was at the end of the day, but then I think it had burnt through a wheel or something because the train was taken off not long after and it was rough as :emoji_zipper_mouth: too.
Just re-watched a POV to make sure I was remembering it right, think you're being harsh on it being one of the worst inversions but I can see where you're coming from, I do remember it being a bit jerky. Although it's now made me desperate to go back because that music, that :emoji_zipper_mouth:ing airtime hill <3
Yep, too hangy, not enough whip through because it doesnt generate any speed through. It's no better than Anubis' bleh hang roll.I really am not being harsh though - in my opinion it is one of the worst inversions I've ever done.
