Disney Sea.
IOA is sort of the current Disney Sea of the Universal portfolio, but USJ is the Disneyland best bang for your buck.

@AliciaStella - by my count there are 5 launches? 4 forward and 1 backwards? Or is the backwards section strictly gravity driven from the roll back?
This is going to be a treat!

After flying car.
Out of the hut.
Through the trench.
Into the cave.
Backwards up the spiral.
Forwards out of vines.

No I've seen pics but, something built so long ago I just didn't imagine it out theming a modern park, like ioa. I could be wrong. And I was just speaking on theming not value.
A good amount of the park has changed drastically since day 1 with the only sore spot being Tomorrowland.
Thank you so much! This video really gave me a much better visual picture of what everyone was talking about! I am super excited for this ride.

Yes, most likely. One of the elevators in Transformers at USH was down for several weeks so the ride was running at half capacity until they closed the ride for a couple days.
I'm really happy with the whole loading and two drop tracks thingies. I salute a theme park that takes their guest experience serious. I have the feeling Disney is building photo genetic rides that purposely have low capacity to up sell "solutions" instead of investing in high capacity rides.
It is sad to know that with all the theming involved, that there will be finished evac paths following almost the entire track length.
Pretty sure you hinted at this, and I predicted this was the case? So no trains were waiting.
I think we’re most likely getting LSM launches on this ride. It’s a bit hard to tell from the aerials, and Intamin could have changed their drive wheel launch system (which wouldn’t surprise me, considering how much new stuff they’re doing on this already), but the launches on their motorbikes have the box which holds the wheel already welded on before they install the track I think, as seen here -

Cedar point is the best bang for one's buck.
Half the coasters there are average or below-average.
Although, Steel Vengance is looking :drool:

Those are friction wheels, the same as on the Hulk roller coaster. LSM (and LIM) refer to magnetic launch-style systems, like Maverick at Cedar Point.
