Looks like a cool roller coaster!

I’m disappointed by this. I expected more. It looks like a good quality coaster but it’s not great.

The "Top Hat" feature of this ride is what I think will truly set it apart from any other ride out right now. I may have to take a flight over SFMM to see how this ride gets down next year!

I've been really impressed with Premier lately. They've really stepped it up. This ride looks great and should be really fun. I agree with the Coaster Critic in that Magic Mountain has almost every imaginable type of coaster. It's getting harder and harder to build anything new and exciting, Although I guess that's a pretty good problem to have! I would really like to see Magic Mountain do two things. I'd love to see some kind of launched invert like Volcano and I'd love to see some kind of terrain woodie.

Oh boy, Gatekeeper you need to be good cause this looks awesome. Gatekeeper looks better but Full Throttle looks really cool too! Has anyone else noticed that Gatekeeper’s spiral has an almost 90 degree angle. Or am I just seeing things.

This ride is way to short. Does anyone know how long it is!

It looks cool to me! It isn't the long and eventful launch coaster like Maverick thatI thought it would be, but it is certainly unique! I like that they stop you in the tunnel and you wait a few moments before launching backwards then forward. I love tunnels with fog (the animation showed fog) and being in one for more than just a split second sounds cool. The big loop and top hat combo look very good, i've never seen anything like that before. Looks good but not as great as I thought it would be. Still looks fun though.

Actually the backwards launch is a necessary gimmick. I've heard that the length of track within the tunnel is not long enough to launch a train from initial velocity of zero (due to LIM length required) to get it all the way back thru the layout. The backward launch provides an initial kinetic energy on the follow thru forward pass. The added thrill of a slight backward launch is an added "bonus".

It looks quite short and uneventful. And, as mentioned, the backwards launch is an unnecessary gimmick. I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't look all that great.
