    What’s with all of the brake runs? Also, that opening flip/twist looks really cool and it looks like a very unique ride.

    I was thinking the same thing Stephen. That’s a lot of pauses in the action. I kind of wish they would’ve laid the ride out differently so there weren’t as many runs, but I hold judgment until I actually ride it. Hopefully, the park buildings and walkway, and of course the on-board media add a lot to the experience.

    I assume they’re block brakes and won’t necessarily be trimming all the time.

    The brake runs are ruling the ride. there are too many. I thought there could be more inversions than the twisty loop, which looks cool.

    Very unique roller coaster. I can see how they arent afraid of trying new things. And you guys are right about all these brake runs. They need to hold up on those. You build up all the adrenaline then it get ruined with another brake run!
