That first drop looks just like this coaster called Afterburn at Wonder Island and rcdb.com considers it to be an inversion. But rcdb.com doesnt say how many degrees it is.
To be honest i didnt even know S&S built this coaster until now.

I'm surprised no one found this video yet.

It definitely seems to have some flow and some
to it. Looks fun!

Did the donkey fairy give me this title?

In any way, shape or form, could this be more FUN that Tig'ger? I like being optomistic, but this doesn't look like fun. I mean, Twister out, Chaos in, I dunno. The park itself is one of the best experiences anywhere on the planet... I know they will maintain that...

I don't think it matters. If you want to think of it as an inversion, go right ahead. The question I have is how much fun will this ride be? I'm also concerned it won't have the interaction with Lake Shafer like many of the other rides at IB do, but the uniqueness of the ride definitely has something going for it. The small footprint also is good news for IB. I'm sure I'll get up there this summer, so I'll save my judgement of Steel Hawg until after I try it.

I don't think I am a fan of this coaster at all. I mean I'm not sure whether that it is an inversion or a drop but that is not the issue for me. The issues for me would be the possible roughness of the ride due to its intense compact twisting nature. I also think that a cutting-edge steel coaster might ruin the Indiana Beach feel and overall atmosphere.
It is good whether you like this ride or not that there is track beginning to arrive on-site.

I think you should probably save your opinion until after you've tried it. Judging a coaster by looking at it is missing the point.

the only thing out of place to me on this coaster is its location. It is basically out of the park.

The new owners have made some changes that I really don't like, hours and logo change (too modern), but the blog posted this and I like this.
