THIS!!

Yeah, I can't wait to see how this turns out. I'm a little worried about zeirer pulling it off but I guess the've done enough to convince two parks to buy the product so hopefully it'll be a great addition.

Maybe if it's successful the Windsor park could get one to replace the mouse they've lost!

I am fairly certain I have seen in a Video on Youtube of John Wardley giving a talk inside the drop section he mentions that it is actually a true freefall, the hydraulic cylinder is for lifting the section of track, I think I was correct in thinking this. I will try to dig out the video.

Edit - Found Video

That actually looks pretty cool, much better than thirteen as they're not false marketing this as an extreme thrill ride.

I just hope that Seaworld's watching this video in case they're still stumped on the new Antarctica ride ;)
