Wait... why's it not so bad of a drop? The height? I can't really get any feeling of scale... If not, then am I going crazy and the car's going up the steep way and down the less sharply angled way? That would be ridiculous!

Vertical lifts are some of the most freaky rides element I have ever been on. Now imagine going head first toward all these people on the ground and threw windows and crap
that would scare the hell out of me.
Yes, its a verticle lift hill, but from 167 feet, it should be an exciting ride. Its no Millinium Force, but at 65mph, its tied with Kraken, 2mph slower than Hulk, and 5mph faster than DD. And way faster than anything down at the Mouse House.
Combine that with the 2 person wide trains and all the wierd banking corners, concert lighting and special effects, it should be a lot of fun, especially at night.

Yeah they are!!! It almost feels like your train is going to fall backwards of the track.
I'm excited and not gonna complain. This is gonna be the first coaster for Orlando since 2006. 3 long years my people since Orlando has had a new metal beast of engineering for us to ride. Sure this one might not have the themeing of Everest but I'm equally excited for it.
I forgot about test track, I should have said any of the coasters down at the mouse house. And yeah, only 8 mhp faster than RnRC. But thats a fair amount, maybe not WAY faster, but still a good bit faster.
But it is way faster than Disney's last coaster, Everest, at 50mph.

You are correct. Although I glanced over Manta isn't it's opening date after HTR's?
i think both will be welcome additions to the olando theme park line-up.
Now all we need is for somebody to build a great wooden coaster. GCI has been doing wonderful things these days.

Oh god do I agree. I'm a sucker for a good woodie. But I'm spoiled off of Thunderhead at Dollywood.
El Toro and Thunderhead are on my too conquer list. Every wooden I have ridden has been rough and intense.
Thunderhead is easily the best wooden coaster ever built. Way better than El Toro.
Anyways, to get back on topic, I didn't see any new construction yesterday. :thumbs:
I hear the Voyage at Holiday World gives it a run for its money, but I havn't tried it yet. But next time I find myself in Southern Indiana with a day to kill....

My very first coaster ever was the Texas Giant. Scared the crap out of me then, scares the crap out of me now. Other than the Giant and Gwazi I don't really like wooden coasters.
