They’re assembling the dive loop now, I think they might finish it today

They messed up and have ads for it up now
I like it. Will be nice to get the specs tomorrow, but pretty cool name and logo for CF. So we know its going to be over 140ft and longer than 3035ft.
That lettering on the logo is annoying me, it's not centered
I like the name and the logo, but the trains... missed opportunity. Where are the birdies???
I guess CF had to get their favorite color on this coaster somewhere (reddish-brown/bronze).
Damnit, I wanted to wake up to it
On first exposure, I LOVE the name. Thank the heavens there's no 'hawk' or 'strike'. That little bit of the layout is a perfect teaser for now!!

Did you see the ad yourself, or was it reposted by someone else? Some things aren’t adding up, like the park’s name being misspelled. But maybe it was a hastily made draft that accidentally got published, or something.
Found a POV on the local news's website. https://www.wric.com/video/pov-simulation-of-rapterra-coaster-at-kings-dominion/9910315/
I did not. Someone sent it to me. I can’t see why it wouldn’t be legit. I think they scheduled the ad for the wrong day and that’s it.
S-turn confirmed, the launch isn't enclosed but does have theming, and there isn't a near miss element during the final inversion.
I feel like that turn after the dive loop is going to be glorious
Can we please use the spoil warning button before dropping a bombshell like that in a very active thread next time please? 
Wonder why they didn't go for fastest as well to round out the records...
Me, not even knowing there WAS a spoiler warning button:Can we please use the spoil warning button before dropping a bombshell like that in a very active thread next time please?
My bad, y'all. Total newbie things LOL
The video got taken down already, but I managed to screen record it and am currently uploading it to YouTube.

Someone needs to check on the Condor guy and the Thunderhawk guy lol
They still could add theming fwiw, CF usually does compared to the POV
