I know it's an issue and all but that is going to kill the airtime.

That's the point.  I wouldn't want to ride this thing unless I knew it would get me safely to the end without being ejected.  

This ride is as tall as Apollo's Chariot's lift hill and even with the reprofile of the camelback it still looks like it will produce a fair amount airtime.
