I was hoping it was setting the record for tallest invert like many others, but i'm happy that it's not 120ft or less like most of b&m inverts. the only tall ones I know of which range from 144ft-197ft is alpengeist (my all time fav) pyreneese, katun, afterburn, montu, and phaethon.

saw a group by the name of great ohio coaster club that have a facebook and posted these... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.609062062489766.1073741841.115430945186216&type=1 looks so good! <3

actually that does make since because one of the supports on the dive loop is right on the midway pretty much and if the fence is in the way it would have to be removed and then that would just be an invitation for people to walk right into the construction site, which im guessing is a big no no without permission.

they must be slowing down from getting the lift and drop done so fast. I was hoping to see at least the first 2 loops done when I go on the 25th, but i'll settle for the first loop. really happy the drop is done though. if anyone has noticed from the animation vids the first loop goes as high as Delirium in full swing (unless its the perspective messing with my eyes) in other words its going to be huge. and also there are a lot of supports on this one.

to be up front, I am fat. the last time I rode a b and m coaster with a shoulder harness I needed the double belted seats. I have obviously seen the new wing rider and in this case Banshee's restraints but have never been on that type of restraint before. with that, what would my chances be of fitting on Banshee or a wing rider? im just trying to avoid the walk of shame which is very embarrassing for me and I do know how it feels.

finally, thanks for the pics. I was getting antsy wondering when someone was going to get them. side note: not really new to the site, was on here last 2009 so I forgot my password and made a new account.
