I can't get enough of this ride. After seeing some videos, I came to a conclusion that this might be the most intense B&M on the planet. The g-force is crazy, plus the pacing! Man, I really want to visit Parc Asterix and take this for a spin or two!

It's not the most intense B&M, no. But maybe one of the most interesting! The g+ aren't very high beside Raptor for instance (but still good, don't worry!), but you didn't have any laterals or bad g's! Plus, you have some cool airtime, and the first-drop is amazing in the back seat.

It's a new-school B&M, all in smoothness.. ;)

Holy crap you have a HUGE donkey!

Seeing these amazing pictures, I'm kind of curious now about the operations of the ride... How quick they dispatch, how fast the line goes, how popular the ride is (it is France after all)...

Favorite element on SkyRush is the Stengel Dive!

It definitely looks like one of the better newer B&Ms. Some parts looked like they lacked intensity, like the corkscrew, but others looked like they belong on an old B&M. The layout also looked great with an unusual element order, and the theming, while cartoony, looks great.

I think it's fantastic that they saved the best inversion for the end :)

Does Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?

That looks completely awesome and I can't wait to ride it this summer. I love a good B&M invert :)

Really cool that the first element isn't a vertical loop also.

Can you see the donkey in my toast?

Wow! That looks awesome and quite possibly (dare I say it...) pretty intense! Love coasters with mist or water elements even when it messes up POV. :)
