TombRaiderFTW Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM It's not super often that rides make me feel genuinely afraid--the only two that have done so as an adult are X2 at SFMM and Texas SkyScreamer at SFoT. I genuinely think Bakunawa might join the group. The train is at the top of the tower for a hwhile, so there's potential to be stuck looking down with naught but air between you and the ground and not a ton visually to remind you that you're safe. I'm excited to ride! Quote
jzarley Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago This is the first coaster in a long time that I’ve thought has really pushed the boundaries of being something completely unique. The ride sounds absolutely amazing, but with anything cutting edge I have two pessimistic predictions: it will open significantly later than scheduled; and will suffer huge amounts of downtime (at least in its first few years). But, I think those who are able to get a ride will think its incredible. I’m sure its been mentioned and I’ve just missed it, but who is the manufacturer? Quote
disco2000 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago The advantage this one has to possibly opening on time is look how much has already been built compared to other coasters in the past announced around the same time that maybe only had some earthwork done. It is a Mack product. Quote
