Well, yeah, two months for vertical construction and about five/six months of site prep....seems about normal timeframe for coasters these days if you don't have winter weather to create delays. I'm just a bit surprised by all the "surprise" reactions to the speed of construction...but i've been following it so close since it started about seven months ago. Anyway, yes the POV is fantastic!!! March can't get here quickly enough.

Left side and right side. Two completely different experiences, right?

^^I can see your arguement AJ but I'd still consider it one credit. Sure you may get slight differences depending on which side you sit on but it's still the same coaster, just like X2 or the Zac Spins.
Total:94, steel:69 wood:25 According to Coaster Counter

Top 5 Steel: Magnum XL-200; X2; Maverick; Alpengeist; Tatsu
Top 5 Wood: Apocalypse; Beast; Mean Streak; Blue Streak; Shivering Timbers

Save the Mean Streak!!!

Can't every coaster be considered to have "different experiences," based on where you sit on the train?

^Truth. Anyway, this thing looks like a blast! Would have loved to have seen a roll somewhere in the back half but I'm still satisfied with the layout. Have to go see Dolly next year!

Love the RCT scream sounds in the video. Looks like a excellent ride. I was pleasantly surprized by Raptor. So to ride a full scale B&M wingrider should be awesome.
