For those interested...I got the link from Screamscape, believe it or not, and it has a promo video for Eejanaika. Looks like it is scheduled to open July 19th, 2006. Here's to hoping that S&S has worked out the bugs since X.

Just click on the special movie button to view the promo vid. If you have a pop-up blocker, you will need to temporarily disable it.

Personally, I think this coaster looks really cool. If this becomes a reliable design for them, I wouldn't mind seeing one at PKI or CP.

It looks like X

I think that it flips and has more inversions than X. Guiness has recognized it as having the most inversions, but they are counting the seat flips as well. I don't think that the seats flipping should be counted as I don't see them as true inversions. To me, an inversion is when the track itself inverts with the riders and not just the seat.

Well it loks like great minds think alike.

I do think it looks cool but it looks a lot like X's layout. MAybe they should do a different layout considering how well X went over. Try to do some experimentation.

New update. Now, there is a new on-ride video of this coaster in action. You can find it here...eejanaika video The first two you can click on is a commercial. The third is the on-ride video. Some of it is cool, but, I think a lot of it is confusing. Maybe it is where the camera was located?
