So apparently... 6 car trains, untrimmed top hat, close to -2Gs, and Camiel Bilsen (Intamin's layout designer) is more proud of this layout than any of his others.

Personal thought, what are examples of untrimmed top hats?

You can give more of a reason than that of a frigging hunch man.

Honestly speaking, if it's anywhere close to the "guess" renderings that was posted a long while back, alongside the level of Rockwork from Taron..then we are in for a treat. Especially if they are going to go in on theming the supports ala' Hagrid.

I'm not sure if any of Intamin's top hats are trimmed apart from Kingda Ka., although their new top hat shaping is completely different from their old shaping. Vekoma's Firestorm layout has a trim on the top hat to keep the forces in check, but this and Pantheon will not be trimmed.

Xcelerator at Knotts doesn't appear to be trimmed at all



Also, in all seriousness @WebHead1138 - I believe the top hat will make this one of Universal's best coasters..Bold prediction

I’m excited about the ride. It will be fun.

But the difference between “fun” and “great” is going to depend 100% on the theming for me. The top hat, Gs and inversions are all fine and good, but the devil is in the details.

Then in all due respect: it makes you look short-sighted for not even giving a specific reason.

If it's as fun as Xcelerator's top hat, this is going to be a blast of a moment for a coaster.

I’ve ridden this one too and I still don’t get the hype. It’s literally over in a second and you barely get to soak in being that high up. It was fun but nothing memorable.

Im excited for this but am hoping for lots of theming with it, along with a little extra theming to the area in general. Im excited for this ride but need to see concept art before I can fully judge my engagement on it.

Does Gwazi count in that?

Either way, who cares. This coaster is going to pack a punch and this kind of ride is what separates Disney and Universal.

Is Butterbeer like cigarettes in prison? A tradable commodity.
