Just curious (truly, not being sarcastic) how is Turbo (I mentioned just a few ago) go 200ft at 64mph?
You both are corect, the exact number is 157.5 the percentage I listed still stands and quite frankly tells the story better. (the 108.5 was a failed copy paste)
Short answer it, it doesn't.
The center of mass of the vehicle (which is quite small) will not exceed 135 feet in height, relative to its elevation at the point of its max speed.
One convenience the ride enjoys is the fact that it is perhaps 10 feet off the Ferrari World floor at its lowest point. So tack that onto the elevation, and the train starts to approach 150 feet in elevation relative to the actual floor of that area of Ferrari World. And the building's floor may also be several feet about the ground elevation outside (not sure), which would give it even more "free" height on an outdoor spike whose height is measured from ground level.
But 63-64 mph, from ground level, otherwise unassisted, isn't going to get you any higher than 135 feet above the ground -- in the most ideal, friction-free scenario.
They're also mechanical nightmares. 2 out of the 7 they've built have been demolished. We'll see how maxxforce does, but I doubt BGW would go all in on a coaster of this magnitude with a manufacturer with a history of problems.
For what it's worth, S&S is building 6 coasters the next 2 years. Of the six, 2 will be compressed air launched coasters, both in China. One opens next year (197ft-84mph) one the following (131ft-62mph).
3 4 and 5 are Maxx Force, Steel Curtain and Batman DK. Number 6 is up for grabs.
Looks like rcdb missed one. 7 total.
2018 - Merlin's Mayhem (Dutch Wonderland, PA), Wonder Woman Coaster (Mexico), Unnamed launch (China).
2019 - Batman The Ride (6 Flags, Discovery Kingdom), Steel Curtain (Kennywood), Maxx Force (6 Flags GA), Unnamed Launch (China).

came across this post today, something's happening lol.
These poles don't have anything to do with Madrid.
Are they part of a new blast shield?

Christmas Town decor most likely
it would be quite boring if they turn out to be used for stringing lights for christmas town lol
What if BGW made a holiday light show that is viewable from the train similar to Celebration in Lights in Newport News or the light show in Norfolk. The train could pass under light displays and animated lights.
the train is being advertised as a massive new CMT attraction
massive poles along the train added
totally not related at all
