Default Holiday World Record Breaker

Bigger than anything Intamin has ever built?

I don't think you have to "hope that you are wrong".

Agreed...I would fear going off the back. The animation does not show
any sort of safety bar that would prevent it? (this from a guy that
did the XScream at the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas (all
permanent magnets, no physical barrier from plunging 1000 feet to your
death!)

It isn't, actually. There's stop at the end of the track that's spring
loaded.

I think it's funny that the drop is 130-some feet taken at a 45 degree
angle. It's gonna take like eight years to go down that drop. Makes
me think of the big drop on Dorney's flume--I had time to cut my toe
nails before we reached the bottom of that drop.
