No comfort collars either, apparently! We're experiencing all these weird elements with lap bars.

I'm super excited for this! Yeah the trains suck but that's the only real bad part about it. I couldn't care less about capacity, the Wonderland crew always does a great job so they'll be at the top of their game.

This is such a strange and wild addition to the park. The layout is bonkers and the name is kind of corny (in a good way).

This might be one of those rides that I head out to for opening day.

This is a park that rarely removes a ride, and only to destroy has only to date removed a single coaster. They need every bit of capacity they can get.
My first gut reaction is this ride will struggle in the capacity department, sharing a park with Behemoth and Leviathan crowd eating machines. Assuming the RCDB stated ride time is the correct ride cycle time at eighty seconds, with eighteen person trains, we are potentially looking at a theoretical capacity of 810 riders per hour.
This will have to be a very snappy coaster to fit nine inversions in eighty seconds, averaging an inversion every nine seconds.

Man, they’re really cramming this thing in there. Surprised to see they picked this location (besides wanting the mountain interaction) instead of replacing some of the aging/less popular rides whose removal would no doubt balance out the maintenance costs of adding this

Why remove a ride if you don't need to?
 
I wonder if one day, we can finally get a ride named the ziz (maybe replace flight deck & time warp or the go karts)

and also magic man, half of the coaster will be in the old xtreme skyflyer so theres that

The coaster is replacing a utilities/games building and Skycoaster (you served us well), nothing is being replaced so therefore an expansion in capacity.

While it’s not the most ideal having a headlining thrillseeker coaster now situated directly at the rope drop used by families for Planet Snoopy, it’ll definitely take some heat off Vortex/Thunder Run/Fly and even lure people away from the other big coasters. Not going to absorb enough people to be noticeable in that regard but it’s a benefit.

CW ops aren’t great at the best of times and operations across all departments absolutely fell off a cliff this season. My hope with this ride is that it’ll run comparatively like Vortex; two trains, loose articles out of the way (bins were confirmed for eventual next coaster project in 2023). Staffing is no issue, they’ll have two restraint checkers, each taking care of just 9 rows, not saying they’ll move quickly but it won’t be horrid.

Next year’s crew will be their A Team; After that It’s up to fate. I would prepare to expect 2 minute cycles on average (540pph).

Upcharge attraction, so I'm not really upset to see it go. Flight Deck/Time Warp are free with admission.
 
The ride looks good but a capacity nightmare.

This park has a huge attendance but installs low capacity coasters. The newest kiddie coaster only had one train and now this with 18 passenger trains. It seems the priority is selling Fast Lane over providing the best guest experience.

They have cut and chopped on that 43 year old mountain so much…..

Dang, this should have been Volcano's replacement at Kings Dominion 😬

With all the issues of TT2 at CP, something akin to this would have made much more sense as a Dragster replacement. For the skyline they could have left the tower up and converted it to an observation tower.
