There's most likely a reason for it, I would think that something needs to be able to pass beneath it. It's still weird though that they wouldn't raise the track immediately after the descent for a bunny hill into the brakes.

Also the ground looks a bit uneven, it could just be that as well.

The ground doesn't matter because they can just landscape or have different length supports but either way it still looks very odd.

I guess they want it slanted so the train has the momentum to get back to the station with out the need for kicker wheels?

But then I guess they could have just a proper hill a la Ka.

I don't mean uneven as in some holes and that, I mean the elevation difference. It's more clear in this photo:

There simply has to be something like a tunnel or a bridge or a walkway or something planned for that, it makes no sense otherwise.

I remember the old concept art having that before they changed it to a flat breakrun. The coaster world is very strange at the moment.

That's so gross!

The problem is it makes a short ride even shorter by instantly losing the speed after the hill.

At least the others have a bit of track before brakes xD

Meh don't give a crap about this coaster **** thing.

Only other thing I can think of is if it's somehow going to mimmick a finishing straight but still, it looks horrific.

^ Yeah that's what I was thinking maybe there's going to be a finishing straight theme.

It looks disgusting though, and can only image it is going to ride horrible hitting brakes straight away like that. Should have just done a Stealth bunny hill into the brakes.

In the concept art the hill looked really nice wth the big Ferrari Badge on it.
