I'm not going to freak out if that's the name, it's generic, but certainly not terrible.

If I didn't know that was the model name, I would think, eh, it's fine. Certainly better than Cyber Cycle.

Is that a place holder I wonder, or is the name "Thrill Glider"?

Thrill Glider is the working name for this specific model of roller coaster from Vekoma. SFMM will be the prototype and there are two others planned for the future in Europe at De Efteling in the Netherlands and Futuroscope in western France.

Oh I know. I was referring to the name used in the ad 😊
 
So Thrill Glider IS the name lmao

I love effects surrounding the launches. Definitely more family thrill, but SFMM needs a coaster that is smooth and fun!

Oh, and RIP Ninja

Not huge on the name but I am definitely happy to see that they’re giving this ride a story and a bit of on ride theming. The ride itself looks awesome too, I’m really curious how the inversions are gonna feel on these kinds of trains (especially that downwards zero g roll at the beginning).

Only running 2 16 passenger trains is a bit of a disappointment though, I figured they would’ve tried to get 3 on a ride this long.
