oh heres a thought that just popped into my head: the lion and tiger fought then they formed as one to create a new animal which is what the ride is themed as

Weren't they already one animal?

i think so, but they were in an eternal battle, which goes against them being one animal, and they are two separate rides, so i dont know tbh

The original 'story' was that it was a lion with a tigers head that battled itself

I assume it looked like CatDog

Iron Catdog: It’s Grrrrrrrrape!

“the seas have been overthrown by ships many years ago” “the animal has been loose ever since 1999”

Hmm... I get the second bit, but the first part has me confused. Is that a typo? Should it be something like "the seas overturned/threw ships" or "the seas have been overrun by ships"?
Regardless, I'd be down with a nice mythical theme, especially if it ties into Moroccan culture.

What’s that v Shapped thing in the middle of the ledger for? Is it to move hold it in place when they’re putting it in?

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

You’re gonna whip thru that thing, should be glorious.

probably just a brace or spacer

 

[6racksgone]

WOW you can get really close to ledgers from the pathway. im at the park now. once it opens youre going to stand probably less 10 feet from track in the exit/ giftshop area

 

[6racksgone]

i already left the park, but i was just sent this. 100% going to be an inversion. ill make a no limits 2 thing to show what i think it will be.

 

[6racksgone]

sorry for posting so much but this is what i think its going to be. i apologize for the crude drawing

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

That’d be cool if there were some airtime at the top before going into the inversion

 

[bbombei1]

Howd you get that pic even lol? Theres a huge wall in front of the exit area and its pretty hard to take pics with it in the way. Any progress on the first inversion as well?

i really dont want to say any names as i really would hate for people to get in trouble but i know an employee who works a food stand in that area and she sent me that pic

and not that i could see, no. it seems theyre working on that section now as one of the 2 cranes is legit parked 5 feet away from those ledgers in that pic

This thing is going to be giant. Everybody says the best parts of Steel Vengeance are experiencing RMC level forces on huge elements (the first half) so I imagine this will be similar to that. Looks a tad more twisty but I'm excited nevertheless simply because it's the brain child of Alan Schilke and Mark Rose.
