As a reminder, the JP coaster is using the Giga style coaster track from Intamin:

Intamin Amusement Rides: Roller Coaster Supplier

Intamin Amusement Rides is the worldwide leading manufacturer of amusement rides and attractions and offers the largest complementary line of products consisting of Roller Coasters, Water Rides, Observation Attractions and Giant Wheels, Free Fall Towers, Round Rides and Immersive Rides.
www.intaminworldwide.com www.intaminworldwide.com

If you had any doubt, this coaster is going to pack a punch.

It's slightly different from that track, it uses the newer version that they have on Hyperion and Pantheon with the flat crossties rather than tubes.

Not a Bio pic but someone on the UOAP fb page took a helicopter tour over the park and snagged this one pic of the construction. This was right before track was installed but you can see many more footers going in FB_IMG_1583690116963.jpg

Starting to see the different levels of track we're gonna see. Launch 2 is set well below most of the footers that have been poured so far. Giving me even more "Taron" vibes.

Bah gawd this project is awesome.

Gonna be up against the water and curling in front of the DC. Still, point noted, there isnt a ton of room. Gotta get creative

I’m honestly starting to fully buy the hype. I kinda don’t know why I wasn’t before. This thing is gonna be an f’ing beast.

If it's 80% as wild as Maverick, I'll be happy.

I'm hopeful, but also won't believe it until I see it.

Seems to me to be more Taron than Maverick, with a little Pantheon thrown in for good measure.

curious to see how storyline wise the top hat is involved... there are opening and closing scenes so you’d expect them to have a story. I wonder if, since JPark is, canon wise, a theme park, they’ll just say it’s a coaster but “OH NO RAPTORS GOT LOOSE WHILE YOU RIDE IT”

i’m cool with that honestly

I don't think anything that happens track-wise will be as literal as Hagrid, where the spike is the bike stalling out. I'd expect the ride portion to be a little more abstract ala the idea on Hulk where you are "Hulking out" during the ride

I could see it being something like that or we're "escaping" during the park's breakdown or something

I'm completely fuzzy about this project outside of the bullet points. I've read from 100ft to 200ft but at some point, it was scaled back.

For reference, Rockit is 160ft tall and this is going to be a much more extreme coaster.
