Thought I recognised the layout. Formule X was great. I really loved the rolling launch. As Robb says a surprise hit given its statistics.

RCDB does list this new coaster as a Maurer Sohne XL 1000 model, the same exact model as Formule X. Duane over at RCDB is usually pretty accurate, so I am not going to argue against it.

Sounds like Knights Valley should turn out to be a sweet little park. 3 coasters announced so far that all seem exciting. Plus, I have to imagine that these two Maurer Sohne coasters are a heck of lot cheaper to build compared to a typical B&M or Intamin steel coaster. Smaller footprint and certainly less actual steel involved.

I think its great! I've been on Formule X several times and it really is a fun coaster!
I hope a lot of "small" parks will get on of these.. although it is better to have different lay-outs. I"m not always a fan of cloning the hell out of a coaster. It takes the uniqueness out of it :(
