Per the youtube description:

Some stats:
76mph
95 degree drop
tallest drop: 220' (the holding brake at the top of the drop is only there for speed correction to get the top speed right, the actual ride will most likely not have a brake there and be a few feet shorter than this)

I looked back at the Amusement Insider recreation @Gavin posted and his comments to compare to the Intim305 video.
  • AI stated he went with the top speed of 76mph as that was on the leaked slide.
  • AI interprets a 90° drop.
  • AI interprets a 220ft drop with no holding brake. That would make the top hat about a 185-190 feet.
So not a huge difference in interpretation. It'll be interesting to see what (if any) actual specs are provided at the Town Meeting. (I don't expect much).

AI (the NoLimits one, not the clickbait CW fanboy) is like...really bad at POVs and interpreting things. I wouldn’t take his video for anything.

"So not a huge difference in interpretation."

I was just pointing out the similarities in the stats of the two recreations. But, seemingly, I'm in error to do so.

Low key possible hot take:
I hate almost stall top hats. Give me something that moves as a good clip and gives some AMAZING floater air.

Stalls only work for me on rides like Griffon where it’s preceeded by a slow lift or something and doesn’t kill the pacing. They’re a complete buzzkill on any ride that launches into a tophat and then suddenly comes to a stop.

I agree. I think the stall works (somewhat) better in the PA version because it's more in the middle of the ride (PA has a lot going on before the launch) and it's a 131° drop, sorta like throwing in a drop coaster in the middle. But with the interpretations we've seen of "Festa", I'm with @warfelg ...gimme some AIR!

With everything building up for an exciting coaster. I am thoroughly disappointed with the low speed and disappointing drop. Will still ride for the experience but I was hoping for something to be more intense than alpengeist. The music accompanying the coaster matches well with how un-intense it is.

...The drop is beyond vertical and it goes 76 mph. How is it disappointing?
 
As @Zachary wrote in the front page article "We are missing a handful of the coaster’s actual stats (exact drop height, max speed, etc) so I don't think we'd see incorporation of a holding brake, if there is one. All we've seen are (probably fairly accurate) interpretations so you can't really make a final determination based on them. If you were hoping for a giga, it's not.
 
I was really hoping for a 300ft coaster with a top speed around 90-95. Guess for thrills I'll stick with Alpengeist and this one and Apollo for a relaxing ride.

Still hoping the stats change a bit.
 
I don’t get why everyone is so set on the 76 mph. Were the slides from the company? Yes. Was it a final draft? No.

Just be patient, you shall know soon ?
