So I take it Hanno is the "one TPR guy". Hope this ride is as good as it looks.

Looks great! Not a fan of the average B&M hyper, but this one looks to pack more in and go through its elements pretty quick! And the water splash does look cool from onride at least.

Few things I think I noticed.

Bit more speed over hills than typical. Also, they didnt seem to get any trim at the MCB at all. Also, the splashdown has a double effect? Its like Manta splash plus diamondback. Im anxious to see offride footage of that now.

I kind of like the timing of the 'faux splash'. Let's everyone on the train enjoy it!

[B&MIntaminGCIHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

The POV makes this ride look even better, if only I could afford a trip to spain.

Always loved the layout and the train really hauls a$$. The MCBR looked to not trim the train at all, Granted a fully loaded train may get trimmed.

All I have to say is wow! I usually don't say that about seeing a POV of a B&M Hyper (Leviathan included). Also, there is only 1 trim and the MCBR has no braking. I can see those air-time hills having floater-ejector air-time. This is starting to look like an Intamin hyper in terms of how quickly it goes through elements. A job well done B&M! Now I just hope B&M continues doing hypers like this.

Fake splash downs on rides like Manta and Shambhala where you have a wall of water in front of/around you = awesome.

Trailing splash downs on rides like Sheikra, Griffon, Diamondback, Krake, etc., where you just have a stream of water behind you = pointless.

This seems to pack more of a punch than Leviathan, but it's usually hard to tell from just one video.
