Ben, you aren't alone and share your skeptism. I also agree and think this will either be better than El Toro or an absolute disaster with no in-between.

Yes, thank you for the passwords - it's great to see the teaser vids (no doubt) - very "Maverick and I305" - I'm sure the next 3 will show the "wow" Intamin is known for (can't wait) - thanks again for the codes!!

Hm... The first clue goes to "Windy Weather" on the website "Utah Education Week" while the second link features on of the largest dinosaurs ever at 50 feet tall. Yes the dinosaur is on a kids site, but we already know this ride is for thrill seekers, so it's not anything kiddy. Still...

I agree, when I first saw the windvane I thought of the Starflyer, but as I thought about a rotating windvane, I think a ball coaster could still be in the running, especially after seeing CW's facebook page asking how high!

Good point, but that was before the buy-out fell through. During that announcement they did say they were going to focus on debt reduction, so I just don't see them spending $20+ million, when a ZacSpin could be installed for under $5 million.

As much as I'd love to see them recapture that title, given their cash position, I just don't see it happening. Tallest is big bucks. Fastest though is possible, but again, expensive. Maybe the worlds tallest and fastest 4d? X2 is 175 feet, so maybe a 200 foot ZacSpin, with a custom...

I saw and remember that show too, and yes, it was a drawing of a ZacSpin on the wall behind the CP spokesperson. I'm with ya on not getting too pumped about one, but this is CP, and would guess if they do install one, it will be large, impressive, and break more than a few world records...

OK, I've got to chime in here. Justin, while your overlay was impressive, you're eliminating a significant portion of the parking lot! That will never happen, while I do agree that there is plenty of space within the park for a woodie and it would be a GREAT addition. CP does watch MM so there...

If you go back some pages you will see the posts with the MATH on that piece claiming it "looks" vertical (which it does) but the math says 45-60 degrees. I'm not aware of any construction proffessional or engineer that relys on their eyes over math.

Engineers and people that are more adept at math than myself. They claim it could be as steep as 60 degrees, but the angles of that piece preclude vertical. I think 60 degrees will be unnerving enough. Regarding the vertical lift, I think you're trying to force you're desire/wish onto a...

Better minds than mine have looked at that interesting piece and through geometry have guessed that at the most the lift angle could be 60 degrees. The likelihood of a vertical lift is slim to none to be honest. If you look at ALL the other vertical lifts, they use 2 chains. This ride clearly...

That's why they couldn't deny it's a giga. The lift hill pieces say it all.

Hercules, SoB, Mean Streak ALL disappointed me since the closest is 8 hours away by car ! Mantis REALLY disappointed me when they added the trim brake in the middle of the first drop (wtf).

^Thanks - I can not wait to see this ride in action. It looks amazing - Please keep the videos and updates coming.

^^ Amazing pic Loefet - thank you - any more or a video? Question - Is it me, or does it look like the inside person could actually reach out and put his hand on the track?

Great pictures - THANK YOU for sharing. Have you seen or know of any videos of the ride testing?

I think the ride looks amazing and can't wait to see it in action. Anyone know when testing is going to start?

Pieman, I understand and figured it out that it wasn't you - no worries - you'll be old enough to go on your own soon enough. If you're trying to sell the folks, sugest staying at Lighthouse Point - nice cabins - outdoor deck and grill on the water - and they can walk around or go to the beach...

^ Mike, consider the source and move on. You are absolutely right - SFNE is my home park, and you know damn straight I'll be there for the opening and probably multiple times over the course of the Summer. I LOVE RoS, it's my #1 coaster of 459 riden and had pretty much stopped going to SFNE -...

Thanks for posting the pictures. The ride and tophat look SWEET. Can't wait to see the testing video. Am I the only one that thinks there will be one hell of an "Intamin wobble?" After RoS, Xcelerator, and Wicked Twister I can't believe they continue to build coasters like this and then...
