Thats gotta be one of the weirdist most messed up coasters ive ever seen! I think thats why it looks awsome!

ehhh... looks like a modified (improved that is) Screamin' Squirrel. Last year, I rode the prototype, Sequoia Adventure, in Gardaland (Italy), and it was not only boring (it's flip, straight, flip, straight , repeat X2) but the OTSR's were insanely painful. Seriously, that ride left wide, red marks on my shoulders for a week or two, making it painful to ride anything with OTSRs, like the 2 other loopers in the park. I'm hoping for the best, but this ride looks hella painful.

Still looks like a giant flop to me.

I think IB is over hyping this one, they'll be disappointed when everyone hates it.

That opposite banked turn looks brilliant, Just hope the restraints lock you in Tight so there is no movement as that looks like a clavicle breaker.

Huh. That's a fairly old version of NoLimits. That's probably the same model that S&S has on its Web site. There's a screen shot of the El Loco, and this looks similar. Except for the drop. I don't see the 120-degree drop.

There really is more than corn in Indiana!

Well I love unique coasters and therefore I am very impressed by the video. If the ride turns out exactly like the nolimits video, then I'm sure I will love it. I just hope that the video wasn't what they want it to be like, and the actual version be more tame.

Ha! So they aren't supposed to market their new ride because you think it's going to suck? Come on dude, what do you expect? And seriously, at least give them the credit for having the balls to risk their money on a ride that hasn't been done before.

Anyway, I'm hesitantly excited about this. I have the feeling it's going to be either loved or hated. I kind of wished they would have made an improved version of the video instead of splicing Steel Hawg graphics into the S&S promo video, but at least it confirms the layout of the coaster so I won't complain too much. I'm really lookin' forward to riding this thing this year.

I just dont know what to think of it! It will either be good or painful!

Painful or not(I'm assuming it will be), a plus for that ride is that it seems like it's definately going to be crazy.

We're talking some Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain type WTFishness.

Even as painful as it looks, I must give a hand to innovation. I've never seen inversions or track movement quite like what's shown here. If anything, it's one of a kind. For now at least. I've gone from having no care at all to at least being interested to see how this one comes out, so I guess the teaser worked.
