Topper is what it sounds like, steel topper to a wooden track. The I Beam basically makes it a crazy mine train, in the best way possible.From the rendering, it looks like the coaster is gonna use the I-Box track as opposed to the Topper. Besides one being completely steel, are there any differences between the two?
Also, how long do these things usually take to build?
Gotcha. Thanks for the insight!Topper is what it sounds like, steel topper to a wooden track. The I Beam basically makes it a crazy mine train, in the best way possible.
And builds really depend, Steel Vengeance was well over a year due to the weather and complexity of installing the track in the middle of the support system.
This will use the Ibox track.Topper is what it sounds like, steel topper to a wooden track. The I Beam basically makes it a crazy mine train, in the best way possible.

Oh yeah it's going to be I-Box, I reread my post and it was confusing and not clear. The "it sounds like" was in reference to the topper track being a topper to wooden track, not "nuGwazi is going to be this".This will use the Ibox track.
Topper track is still considered to be a wooden coaster (Lightning Rod, Wildfire etc) whereas Ibox track is considered to be a hybrid coaster (Steel Vengeance, Twisted Colossus etc).
The fact that the renderings are in no limits mean that it looks as if it is a wooden coaster, but it will be an Ibox hybrid. At IAAPA Alan Schilke stated that RMC are moving away from the topper track towards the Ibox track as much as possible.
I think I’m the only person left who still thinks the JP Coaster is a 2021 project lolThe central Florida coaster wars are back in full force. It'll be RMC Gwazi vs Raptor Rush (JP coaster) in 2020 and everybody wins.
If SeaWorld build their rumoured coaster next year then 2020 is a big coaster year for Florida followed.The central Florida coaster wars are back in full force. It'll be RMC Gwazi vs Raptor Rush (JP coaster) in 2020 and everybody wins.
2021 puts it at a longer build time than Hangrids.I think I’m the only person left who still thinks the JP Coaster is a 2021 project lol
Sure does and don’t get me wrong all the evidence points to this being a 2020 addition I’m just being cautious. Don’t want to get those hopes up2021 puts it at a longer build time than Hangrids.
The only reason I can see for it being a 2021 addition is for Universal to push it back to help balance out the new additions or maybe compete with Disney better. With Disney opening Guardians and Tron in 2021, it allows for Universal to market their more aggressive thrilling coaster that people might be looking for.Sure does and don’t get me wrong all the evidence points to this being a 2020 addition I’m just being cautious.
