Looks like a Dissapointment tbh. Well at least we have Raptor to admire, I mean I was expecting Cheetah Hunt to be graceful around the track but it just looks like it barely makes the elements, oh well :/

lol. Good luck with that. Not saying this one is top tier or anything, but I'm not sure Zierer's second launch coaster will be a great success. We'll see. I'm all for optimism.

This is such a shame. It really is. When I was in the park earlier this year I was blown away by the size of the thing. It is massive! And it just looked like it would be awesome, especially based of Busch's track record with their previous coasters.
We can always pray that it actually rides better than it appears to *fingers crossed*.

I think everyones being abit harsh here!
To me the speed looks fine. I bet the view at the top of the tower is great and with such shallow banking I wouldn't expect anything faster! It's a great little moment before that big drop (which looks like it'll have good air) AND a frickin' launch. The rest of the layout looks like it has good pops of air and I think the inversion is taken at good speed.
It's no Intimidator 305, but I never thought it would be! Also you have to realise rides feel alot faster when you're actually on them, and this may even look slow due to how draw out the lower parts are, but flying along the ground with the wind in your face, I don't know, I'm just shocked at the negativity this ride is creating.
Meh, I know I'd enjoy it anyway, but then again, I enjoyed Thirteen.
Also, preview renderings of rides have ALWAYS made the rides look fast. They're full of fast editing and interesting angles, added sound effects and motion blur. Take a look at say... Intimidator (Carowinds) video, then watch a video of it's first test run! I thought people would've learnt by now to take them with a small pinch of salt.

Just because it looks like a dissapointment does not mean it will be a dissapointment and I certainly hope for all you Americans living near the park that its a great ride............. This is gonna sound bizzare but I think this type of ride would suit Chessington......... anyway back on topic it looks slow but how can 60mph be slow and a 130ft drop not be thrilling, I am undecided on how the ride will turn out.

Has anyone seen the video of the testing they have done on this roller coaster yet?

Looks like some fast pace steep inclines with some slow corkscrews from what I can tell.

See, I think this looks a lot better than I initially thought. It looks like a really fun ride in my opinion. Lots of nice twisty section with what looks to be a few pops of air time. I'm looking forward to riding it.
