I actually think that is the end of the ride.



It's right AFTER the drop.

It's directly after the drop on Krake, but he was talking about the new coaster. Looking at the plans it looks like what we suspect is a splashdown is at the end of the NEW ride.

^No. What we suspect to be a splashdown is in the direct middle of the ride.

I stand corrected. Of coarse it may not be a splash down since the ride was rumored to have tunnels as well.

I've been wondering, did they say if it was an underground or aboveground tunnel?

So Lift seems to go above Khan's lift. But what about the first drop ? Will it go above Khan's first drop (which i believe) or under it ? I suspect above, and the drop leading to the assumed splash zone UNDER Khan's drop. Do you interpret it that way too ?

As for its colour, if it is blue like on some art we have seen, I hope at least they paint the support the same light blue as Khan's too. Don't want a rainbow zone there. ONE new colour could complement the looper's red, but I don't want it to look like a dragqueen though...

^Mid-course Brake Run.

Honestly, it's difficult to tell what exactly the layout is, only judging on the top-view layout.

Why is is that whenever I ask what something is, I figure it out a few minutes later. :lmao:

^Thank you though, now it all makes sense! :)

^^It's pretty easy to get a good idea by the support layout. The same happened for Skyrush, and it turned out pretty accurate.
