I have yet to ride a true Hyper besides Magnum myself (I don't really count SFMM Goliath) but this looks like it could be a great ride!

Wait, why not Goliath? It qualifies as a hyper-coaster (I ask as someone who LOVES Goliath... )

But, yeah, this is one more reason among many I'm looking forward to visiting this park some day. Walt and C-dog are KILLING it next year!

So errr...so is it an Out n' Back or a Twister?

And I sure hope there isn't a MCBR, that would be one short Hyper if there was a MCBR, the shortest camelback being 70 feet tall (THAT'S HUGE).

Wiki knows all.
And wow, another B&M for next year! That makes six or so now, with two of them now being hypers! Shaping up to be a revolutionary year for them!

[IneedTPforbungholeWhat's with the donkeys anyway?]

^ One of them is a giga. Not a hyper.

^ One of them is a giga. Not a hyper.

I meant as a model type, though I suppose B&M calls all of them megacoasters, so really it's neither.

From that linked wikipedia

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala (also spelled Shambala or Shamballa; Tibetan: བདེ་འབྱུང་; Wylie: bde 'byung, pron. De-jung) is a mythical kingdom hidden somewhere in Inner Asia. It is mentioned in various ancient texts, including the Kalachakra Tantra[2] and the ancient texts of the Zhang Zhung culture which predated Tibetan Buddhism in western Tibet. The Bön[3] scriptures speak of a closely related land called Olmolungring.

Whatever its historical basis, Shambhala gradually came to be seen as a Buddhist Pure Land, a fabulous kingdom whose reality is visionary or spiritual as much as physical or geographic. It was in this form that the Shambhala myth reached the West, where it influenced non-Buddhist as well as Buddhist spiritual seekers — and, to some extent, popular culture in general.

That "shortest camelback is the equivalent of a 7 story building" still baffles me.

[coasterfreak101Gimme Some Candy!]

^Why? They're just saying that the smallest hill is still 70 feet tall - just makes it sounds massive, I suppose.

[SchotcherI own the website www.donkey.com]

^ Yeah that's what I mean. I'm really just wondering whether or not it will have a MCBR or not.
