Poorly translated bit of the article.

I've been told that the layout will be different to the New York version although the stats are similar. Even though that ride is fairly poorly received im looking forwards to seeing this go up.

That looks nothing like the one at Luna Park! Haha, I actually wrote Thunderbolt twice to make sure it was...Meh. I thought it actually had potential if it had tracked well

I'm interested to see the new layout of this thing.

Me too. Although it'll be interesting to see if a custom layout helps some of the complaints about the standard models. I recall people saying they were bumpy and a bit forceless? Something along those lines, anyway.
 
^I don't think it's an MCBR, so much as it is a final brake run (think Rita, Dodonpa, etc). It does feel like a waste of layout though, I'd have gone for another airtime hill into the final corner and brake run. Maybe they're concerned about not being able to run enough trains if the final brake run is very short?
 
Yeah, I didn't really see it like that at first and you're correct - it's a bit like iSpeed's in terms of layout after the brakes.
