This is ride is looking really really good and I love the drop it's sexy :wink: . Just looking at some of the angles that Clint showed, I can definitely see that MF drop style, except this one will be steeper.....

Actually, with its different colors, shapes, and angles it doesn't look much like MF.
(I am a big fan though.)

^^ That picture of "half" the drop - oh my!

^ Well, of course it somewhat looks like Millie, but it's gonna be missing the signature overbank that Millie has that sort of defines its look.. However, that turn is gonna be ridiculous, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I may be getting a little bit more excited for this than I am for Intimidator at Carowinds.

Wow this is truly going to be one epic coaster, although I'm not much of a fan of double spined track, and less supports. That first half of the hill is looking very sexual though I must say :) Can it compete to the standards of Millenium Force? Well I'm not too sure about that (even though I haven't rode MF :D.

I'm not that impressed by the side on drop shot.. Dunno why. Maybe it's because it leads into a CORNER.

It's really NOT that hard to compete with Millennium Force, haha.

Honestly.. it'll be better than MF if the OTSRs don't box the snot out of riders. I can tell this already.

Fixed that for ya!
:p

I'm just glad to see some observable progress!

I always have that thought in my mind.. but if this thing can deliver some airtime.. it will beat MF.

MF is nothing but the drop.. with the 'OMG I SOMEHOW LOVE IT! LETS BLOW MY LOAD**' sensation of speed.. and some meaningless airtime hills.

As I said from the start.. the 'airtime' hills and the restraints will make or break this ride. The drop will be amazing, no matter what restraints you have on it (Maverick/Fahrenheit established that).

But you can never guess a sensation.. you have to ride it.




**That would be what MF/CP fanboys say to somehow justify a horrible opinion.

^ Well, some people DO enjoy the sensation of speed.. Why do you think so many rank Dragster and Ka so high? But in the end, Millennium Force was meant to deliver airtime along with speed, whereas it really fails at one of those.

I've experience lovely floater air in every seat I've ridden. Negative g's are negative g's. I don't need my thighs bruised (Magnum) to feel them.

Those people are called 'idiots'.

I don't enjoy TTD because of speed.. I enjoy it because of the experience. ;)

Two kinds of floater.. ****ty floater.. and good floater. MF doesn't have good floater.

But why do you enjoy the experience? The only thing to the experience is basically the atmosphere and the excitement leading up to being launched to 120 mph.. So obviously you must enjoy the sensation of speed a little bit :p .

MF doesn't have good floater.

Exactly.. It's just so.. Weak. It only has three pops of it really, and the airtime just soo doesn't make an impact on me where I come off flabbergasted at the negative G's I just experienced.

How can anyone say this doesn't look like Millenium Force? This is what I was talking about. The drop looks just like it (only steeper and sexier :wink: )

^The top looks to be a more rounded shape though.. in comparison.

Of course.. that is visualizing where the track will be.

LITTLE bit.. some people seem to enjoy the speed the most. If I enjoyed the speed the most.. Ka would be better then TTD.. and it isn't.

This year.. riding with Matt at the Live.. might have been the most fun I've had on TTD.. and the ride hasn't changed in the 100 some times I've ridden it.

This lift hill is looking nice. Oh and Snoo for some reason when I look at the pic that bob_3_ posted of the lift hill, it reminds me a lot of Maverick.
