Putting my thoughts together on this but this is really a diamond surrounded by dirt. It's such a cool addition but everything surrounding it is so bad. So, so, so bad.
Pros:
- First of its kind ride in the United States because this will *probably* end up opening before Circuit Breaker @ COTALand
- 48 inch height requirement, massive win for Cedar Point so long as they don't adjust that
- Genuinely interesting ride to liven up a dead midway between Valravn and Millennium Force
Cons:
- This is 100% a move to keep attention away from the failings of Top Thrill 2
- Same height restriction as Iron Dragon
- The tilt drop faces away from the direction of traffic for that midway, and is largely overshadowed by Valravn since it's built right next to it
- Capacity, this thing is going to be *trash* for Cedar Point if the 2 minute cycle time is accurate, 720 pph is not good enough for a park of Cedar Point's size
- There's not much else to show for the addition right now because this announcement was thrown together literally in under a month. I hope that the queue and station are only placeholders and there's actually a follow up into the look and feel of the ride area. Same thing for the midway this ride is going to occupy. It needs attention, bad.
