Rapterra has an icon on the map now as well as the research center, perhaps the map updates soon? There’s no data when you open them it’s just empty but it has their names.
Watching the testing footage from the ACE event shew. This ride looks so fun honestly. If it rides smooth which from my perspective looking at the various shots testing where I don’t see vibration like Iron Menace, this ride should be a banger.
It looks fun, zippy, graceful, re-ridable, the only truly similar coaster out there is Thunderbird which is one of the best B&Ms if we’re being honest. The pacing looks excellent. Safe to say the end of March can’t get here soon enough and I’m rooting hard for KD to have the real “GP crowd pleaser” it deserves and it slaps hard.
EDIT: then very much like Thunderbird, thoosies that travel to KD can think it looks cool from the station of a nearby GOAT coaster.

Twisted Timbers is across the park though
No no, he’s right, Reptilian is right next door!
Sorry we’re so spoiled we must argue over our two GOAT coasters, the positive G blackout of death, and angry trees trying to remove your torso from your legs.
We ever get a confirmed minimum height to ride this? I can't seem to find anything on KD's website.
Kid wants to know if he can ride it when it opens. I've told him he probably won't, but I wasn't sure.
I know some have a lower (for B&M): Mandril Mayhem is around 47" (1.2m), while Wild Eagle is 50", and Thunderbird is 52".

Gatekeeper is 52" but I could see them going for 48" since that what Tumbili and TT are.
There was a brief time where it showed up in the app as 48” but they took that down so it may have been a mistake
The map just updated to include Rapterra. Also looks like lake charles is here to stay and from this flight of fear is all brown so maybe more paint?
It's... beautiful.
Rapterra and Pantherian look awesome!
According to a casting agency seeking people to ride Rapterra for promotion purposes, the height requirement for the ride will be 52”.

Oh man, I missed the 3pm deadline but just submitted my family for consideration.. my boys would be through the roof excited.
What is?Ugh………that’s an Immelman
Edit nevermind I figured it out. Didn’t even notice that at first, but it is surprising. Even the shadows of the inversion show immelman too.
I really love the art design and functionality behind these maps that were released last year (best of any theme park chain or independent imo) and the small details are a nice touch. Guess they missed the mark with this one. Surprisingly enough they nailed down all the inversions of Racer 75!

So the 52” requirement must have been for the promo shoot only… glad to hear more people can ride!
