The ride is literally the same length as Maverick time wise btw
Both second halfs are around 22 seconds long
That would be an added 2000 feet lol

Yes because we know the speed and time duration. The length of track might be similar but we don't know speed or enough of anything else to be able to say definitively what the ride time will be
Everyone's an expert... and a wiseguy.
Just my opinion on how short the ride is after the drop. That's when the coasting aspect really sets in. 76 mph covers ground quickly. Would prefer more elements and track distance given the momentum it's likely to be carrying. 10-12 seconds would suffice. That little extra is often the difference between good & great rides.

Okay but there are numerous examples of even shorter rides that are world class.
It won't be travelling 76 mph for the whole time obviously.
Max speed does not equal average speed.
Apollo's hits 74 or 75 mph but it maintains that speed for less than a second during the first drop. 90% of that speed is lost on the second hill and I doubt it approaches 60mph after that.
Similarly mmxx has a huge airtime element after the top hat. In that section the majority of the speed will be scrubbed.

If I don't get a coaster that maintains 76 mph the entire time, I will cause problems.
Disable the friction/physics features in your coaster game.
It better slam into that station at break-neck speed just like in RCT.
I think you mean like Apollo's pre-station break run when they are running three trains
When did Dorney start running more than one train on their coasters?
No real movement today, but they've definitely put some work in since last weekend. Clearing the whole section for the beginning of the ride. I wanted to bring a camera for apollo's lift but forgot. LOL. thought about looking over the fence next to daVinci's cradle but as I got close, started getting some eyes from the ride operators. Lol

Just now getting to debrief my hard drive of photos. These are Friday, so they did a lot in two more days.
p.s. The last shot are trees down by the water bank before crossing the trestle.

You guys have probably all seen this by now, but here’s the best mock POV out there. Looks like it’s a hair short imo but still looks amazing
