I don't care what it looks like, as long as it delivers beautiful airtime!

I can see that.
I can hear the music already...

If it was a lighter green...maybe. I really don't like it, though. Maybe if it were yellow?
I do think it will look decent going through the course, though. I think that color matches the supports pretty well, it's just that you can't see them in the photo. Once it's careening around those :xcensoredx:ed up turns and hops I have a feeling I won't be saying that.
Hopefully I can get good enough at my driving to get this on the to-do list this summer!

Testing video.
Pacing looks perfect!
Great to see Morgan back in the coaster game.

The airtime seems to be amazing on this, it fly over those hills, great looking ride!
Hope the park does well.

It looks like those hills are gonna pop you out of your seat but you're not going to be out of it all the time like say on a traditional B&M Hyper. Either way the coaster absolutely flies around the track, we're not going to be complaining about the thing having a crappy ending that's for sure.

Did they put the microphone inside the lift motor?

There is a POV posted at Screamscape. http://www.screamscape.com/html/kentucky_kingdom.htm
I'd embed it but they have sharing turned off on the YouTube vid.

From my perspective, sure this isn't a world-beater, but it has all the qualities of a family coaster at heart, which can also satisfy enthusiasts likewise, in spite of its small size and cost. Exactly what the park needed, and hopefully it will likely gain pace towards the end of days with a full load. Not too certain about the leg clamps though :?
On an additional note, I see nothing wrong with the aesthetics, in fact, I think it's quirkiness makes it distinguished, crazy and actually rather good looking in a unique way. Ed Hart's lucidly onto a winner.

I know it's still too early to judge, since I haven't ridden it yet, but I'm expecting this thing to contend for the #1 spot on my list. It looks like it is paced well, and has a good combination of airtime and twisty. I can't wait to ride this thing next month!
The restraints though...they don't look like they will be very friendly to us tall folk.
