One thing I’m weirdly excited about is the second lift hill. Obviously it’s the first B&M to ever have two lift hills (already pretty cool), but I can’t think of any other inverted/suspended coaster besides the OG Big Bad Wolf with a second lift.
That second photo that @CyberstarEntertainment instantly unlocked some nostalgia for BBW and pulling into the brake run before the second lift. It’s a unique memory. Any second lift on a coaster adds a special feeling to a coaster — it’s a breather from the action and it builds up for apprehension again for the ride’s next act.
I really appreciate that BGW incorporated the second lift into the design. I don’t know if they specially chose it to replicate BBW or if it was just a happy coincidence because the layout necessitated one, but I think it’s going to be one of the strongest homages to the original BBW even though it hasn’t been talked about as much.

Ninja at Magic Mountain has a lift at the beginning and at the end. Iron Dragon has two lifts but we don’t need to consider Iron Dragons existence.
I don’t want to hear the Iron Dragon slander lol. Her low speeds, less than thrilling elements, weird position in the park, and serviceable capacity will probably make her the last of her kind operating. She’ll be the Nessie of arrow suspended’s and there’s nothing we can do about it.
XLR-8 at Astroworld, The Bat (Mk. 1) at Kings Island, and Vampire at Chessington. Two lifts apiece.
I'd throw all Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerangs into that category too.

Oh my god this looks like an incredible element
Every time I make an element like this in Planet Coaster on the first try, it's like 1.97 lateral G's LOL.
This is lovely. I hope it is taken at 35 MPH or something close. Oh and some grass.
The coaster itself is said to go 40 MPH, so it should be pretty fast for a family coaster and elements like that are what's going to make it feel more intense and faster than some think.
It's just a low to the ground turn. It is pretty though.
Well at least they are really trying to replicate the swinging with that turn. I mean look at that, bank left, bank right into a tight lefthander then bank left again. I really wish they would have incorperated a complete 360 degree helix turn
It actually looks like it would be too tight for real swinging. Is it just me or the angle, or is this a near-miss with itself?
Best looking B&M Invert trains since Alpengeist...
You can see the speakers for the on ride audio. Now will it actually work?
I'm about ready to see some trees going in!
When I last rode the train I saw what looked like a lot of plants/shrubbery inside of the picnic area.
