When she's only fed news from GP news articles which never get coaster info correct and a biased source (you), what do you expect LOL?
BREAKING NEWS: FORK FOUND IN KITCHEN
The launch is going a considerable height up the tower, really wasn't expecting to see that. The supports for this thing are so....strange, really interested to see what the finished product will look like
The thing is I posted this as a hehe without feeling the need to acknowledge that because I think it's pretty obvious.
Anyways the news is proliferating

Yeah... Don't label me as a negative Nancy or take this in any way but... This is 100% going to be a full throttle situation, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it may just feel weird if you're like sideways or backwards or something.
Never been on full throttle, but I’d imagine that’s rough bc you’re being pushed into the restraint facing down with deceleration. I think being backwards would make it feel a lot more manageable. And even if you’re facing forward, there’s nothing on your chest on Mack Extreme Spinners. I’d imagine it’ll feel super weird on Phantom Spire but not bad.
Not to mention, these are LSMs as opposed to standard brake magnets, so braking force can be tweaked so it’s not aggressive, I would assume.
Yeah….tbh it’s kinda too be expected though. The profiling of the stall makes me think it shouldn’t be too terrible though. It’s clearly designed with the intention being you go through that transition at a high speed
I have very few previous issues with spinning but I think inversion + rotation + deceleration would be a little too awkward for a lot of people
It's interesting to see not only the launch fins up at this steep of angle, but also the radius of the pull into the tower compared to how drawn out the exit of the stall is. It's got me wondering what we'll be looking at as far as top speed and the speeds of each launch.
I think launch 3 will add something around 20-30 mph on top of the speed at the exit of the stall, assuming it's hitting around 80 or so at this point. I would put the target top speed at the exit of launch 3 somewhere in the vicinity of 110mph, given the height of the structure and the weight of the trains. My guess would be the trains themselves reaching a max height of around 360ft, with the track height going up to around 370ft. That way, if the trains somehow overshoot, there's a safety margin. But something to the tune of 110mph seems like the sweet spot for the trains to literally kiss the top and roll back down.
Either way, the positive G's on that third launch are going to be heavy. That's a tight pull-in radius for heavy, spinning trains accelerating from 80-100+mph almost vertically. You're gonna hit it again coming back down the tower too, since you'll be hitting that radius from the opposite end now coming down from 360ft with tons of momentum.

In Colin’s latest video, it was discovered that there is 1 more full launch track section and then another with 2 launch stators. I’m interested to see what angle the track will be at that final stator. No matter what, the launch is going to be pretty high up to give these heavy spinning trains the speed to get up to that ~375’ height.
I'd imagine that's the one in the Coliwood video
Was he supposed to tell us this.....lmao
I'm back! Can anybody give me a quick summary of the past 2 months, I took a break from the coaster industry to figure some stuff in life out.

-FAA filings claim the structure height is "only" 375 feet.
-Construction is moving right along.
-A certain user is still upset about this addition.
Otherwise, nothing else to report I don't think.
Logically, the braking will mirror the launching to maintain the same forces in reverse. Slightly weaker, and could vary somewhat. The higher speed launches tend to have less acceleration. The most vertical sections of launch will probably not increase velocity as much as unnaturally maintain it. I expect the max. speed to be about 100.
