If, in the unlikely event, it were to stall during the first test run, would it be permissible to say that it looked slow?

It's the same case with this site and construction topics:
Discuss plans and say about which hill will have airtime or which inversion will be FAB.
**** over mud photos.
Complain about the colour scheme's difference to concept.
**** that it's vertical construction has started.
Say how excited you are to see it completed.
**** when more elements are constructed.
Debate when testing begins.
Complain it's too slow.
Ride it.
Complain it's force less or have a **** over it.
Done.

I wouldn't be surprised to see testing start as early as this afternoon to be honest. It's going to get up in the sixties there (yes, I have Mason set as a location on my Accuweather app) so if they can run it once they really should, assuming no pull-through work needs done.

Any testing videos?

Wow, those trains are BIG!
Hopefully the larger trains wont equal to the new-age B&M drag we've been getting lately.

It enters the loop pretty fast, and I was worried it would suffer with the B&M big train lag, and it does... Not violently laggy like their wing coasters, but still has that sort of start-stop motion..
But, it's such a stunning looking ride and it'll probably still ride really well!

^ Don't forget, it's probably still running on soft wheels. There's a good chance it's running slower than it will once open.

I assume after testing is done they will put covers on the wheels, right?
^ Yes.
At this point, the critical thing for Kings Island to do is make sure the train can make it through the layout at below-normal speeds. Hence the beginning of testing with "soft" wheels, which provide greater rolling-resistance that causes the train to travel slower.
Gradually, Kings Island will phase in "hard" wheels, which are made from the normal operation material, and the roller coaster will travel at its intended speed.
We don't want a repeat of this, which is why we slow test:
