^Normally we at least get some type of idea right? I feel like they wanted to spend the "least" amount of money on this announcement......

On what the plaza looks like? I'm not sure I'd say that. Sometimes parks show plans and pov and sometimes they don't. It'll be interesting to see what Kings Island shows for their Giga announcement. I also don't think that BGW wanted to spend the least money they could on the announcement. I think that instead they wanted to hold some stuff to announce later. Which was corroborated by statements from Suzy and Larry at the announcement.

Man, I wish this track was longer. Reaches near-hyper coaster drop size and achieves 72+ mph only to tackle one hill and a couple low ground elements. Finish.
Seems that momentum could take another big hill, Immelmann, and some hops/turns, in addition.

Same thing I've been thinking seems like we're going to come into the brakes hard and it's doing gravity and the momentum an Injustice only two inversions also kind of stinks

Crossing the river would have been ideal. The top-hat could dive down across the water, do the outer banked turn on the other side, then jump back across the water on a 2nd hill (arcing high above the river this time), all before picking up where the actual first hill begins it's currently designed descent.
This ride will likely be a fun thrill, but not epic as it could have been. And the color seems a poor choice. ?

I don't see Busch doing away with the Rhine River Cruise anything low would impede that so it have to be pretty high which takes away from the drop I guess we got to pray to the coaster gods for 2021 fingers crossed Pantheon is still going to be amazing though I hoping. And intamin m f'ing finally regardless of all the reliability concerns
 
Yeah based on the tiny animation we got it seems like yellow/ gold track and silvery-white supports I was really hoping for red track but the colors do kind of fit the theme

That almost happened. It was called Madrid. Now we're getting two coasters instead

I don't think it has all that much momentum left given the terrain. Seems the station is pretty high up in relation to the low point, and the elements after the tophat are huge which is great (ideal for me) but also drains speed. The ride will already be about 1:20 from start to end of brakes, which is longer than most large coasters. I'd almost consider the tophat to brakes to be a huge epic ending section to an already long ride. Also consider there will be probably 7 airtime moments in the launch section alone, total of 14 or so over the course of the ride. I think the ride seems great to most everyone (despite some hesitation on the length), but it'll be even more satisfying than anticipated.

Making it a huge goal to lose enough weight to ride this when it opens. I feel like the newer intimin restraints look very accommodating but I won't know until I try them out. They look way more comfortable than B&M OTSRs that's for sure.

It's current design likely works in a timely manner for running 2 trains, releasing one upon the others' return. More track length would probably affect the efficiency and safety checkpoints of that operation.

These will still be processing as I'm posting now, should be in 2k res sometime soon.

From the boat it looks like the helix footers are done or nearly done, and from apollo you can see some big swing launch footers up as well as the turn into the stall. Piles are being driven for the whole outer bank area and drop pullout.

I must be late to the updates, but dang that’s a shame the trees were taken out at the river drop...that place looks very steep now! Should be a cool fly by.
