Zachary after this latest update goes out.
This is Zachary. It's probably fine now, he just has to make 20 passes to add unnecessary info.

If you've seen the last few pages in this thread you would've realized you just poked the hornet's nest.
I can't wait for a bunch of people to run with the headline "BGWFans Confirms 190 Foot Drop for Busch Gardens Williamsburg's 2020 Coaster" ?
The nuance in this article is so, so important.
Thanks for the hard work getting all that information together Zachary.
I'm more inclined to believe that elevation refers to height above grade and not sea level. If it's sea level then there's no need for the FAA waivers. Also that's makes it shorter than Griffon and Apollo but is supposed to be faster?

I'll just ignore this thread, mock it in private, and pop in when I see a good opportunity for snark.
That language that uses BGW pisses off the planner on me.
I would be more inclined to say the 76 mph stated top speed in the slide is "on the best day" as parks and manufacturers tend to overstate the speeds of some of their rides, especially launch coasters in a historic context.
The similarity in numbers between Madrid and Storm Runner is uncanny though, it's almost like I may have been hinting at something...

We never said it is a 190 foot drop.
We said that assuming that “elevation” means “above sea level,” 190 feet is a rough estimate of the maximum possible drop.
