Yeah, they put the actual stats on facebook the other day. First one is 103, second 105, third 114.
WHHATTT? Really? Banked turns of up to 114 degrees? 114 degree banked turn? That is much more then just flat on you're side. A turn like that puts Voyage and Hades to shame, and all other Gravity Group and GCI Coasters turns.
But I can't ever put those coaster down. Gravity Group and GCI make some of the best wooden coasters in the world.
My favorite wooden coaster companys
- Custom Coasters
- Great Coasters
- Intamin
- Gravity Group
Those wooden coasters rock my world.
But seriously, a banked turn of 114 degrees? You sure about that? I only heard that it was going to be a 95 degree banked turn.
I know for sure the drop is 79 degrees and they are incresing the lift hill by 10 feet, and of course, it's steel. LOL.
Yeah, it was confirmed quite a few pages ago in this thread. They have signs on the ride that are stating that (It is either 112 or 114). Here's a picture that makes it pretty obvious that the turn is greater than 90 or 95 degrees.

All three are confirmed on Six Flags Over Texas' Facebook Page. Also, here's a good picture of the 105 degree.
