Anaconda is 144 but that drop is a slow decent.

@CoasterMac @Zachary what about this isn't true? Drop always feels very slow...

Our feelings don’t cancel Newtonian mechanics and the associated math.

There is a super interesting discussion to be had here regarding the seeming incompatibility between parts of Kings Dominion's claimed Anaconda stats and just the general penchant for and legacy of false advertisement in this industry and how it continues to be echoed today. That said, this thread is not the place to analyze Anaconda's stats or engage in that broader discussion. If people want to keep this Anaconda chat going, here's the thread:

I like that the new ride has themeing now with a story to go with it

 

[Nicole]

To be fair, it always had theming and a story.

I had always hoped this would be the case but I really believe this will be the last Arrow Looper left standing. It’s not exactly the Coney Island Cyclone or the Matterhorn Bobsleds but it’s in the next highest class of heritage classics. Really excited for the reopening.

Photo is from today and it looks like construction is still ongoing inside the lochness monster cave

 

[Jwanger93]

It’s still matches my thinking, but this for adding detailed cave texturing right ? Any one have any inside confirmation of what’s going on here ?

Funny enough, everyone says the same about Nessie at Hansa Park regarding Schwarzkopfs. And it also just got a major glow up. Something about Loch Ness Monster coasters I guess

Lift hill audio is playing on Nessie. Unfortunately my phone is incapable of getting a decent recording of it.

 

[Coasternerd]

Oooooo

music, sounds, or vocal? (or combination)

 

[jscll]

Vocal, similar in style to the audio on Mystic Timbers. Of course you are being told in this case to keep a lookout for Nessie. The new lift hill speakers are mounted low to the track, so hearing it on ride sould be no issue.
