[CCG2I know quite a lot about Donkeys!]

Either Intimidator or Silver Star, both of which as stated above are B&M Hyper-Trimmers . Let's hope Leviathan dosen't have the same fate. If Levi actually has airtime that will give it a nice competitive edge over MF, but it still wont beat I-305.

Um...all the hypers? They're all basically the same.

That's a bit harsh on Raging Bull. B&M do seem to like their O&B but they are almost all well respected if not well loved rides so it clearly works for them. Now I just have to get out there and ride one of them :S

I've heard Behemoth is even more so , though having ridden Intimidator MANY times, I can safely say the trims aren't always firing s they are "Train selective" when it comes to weight, and also in more cases they are on forced on by maintenance in stormy or rain conditions I would believe. You get a good 3 click ride with No trims and doing Pufferfish's "Cannon ball" Its insane.

So far having ridden Goliath at both La Ronde , Goliath at SFOG, Nitro at SFGADV, Apollo's Chariot at BGW,Intimidator at Carowinds and DiamondBack at KI. I find them to be very good and very much different experiences. They MAY be of simular design (not so much Apollo) hey DO provide different experiences.

I honestly never count Raging Bull, solely because it was a one-time thing. Now they found their mold, and they haven't put out a truly unique one since. They're starting to throw in unique elements though, like on Shambhala.

I dunno, every time I've ridden Behemoth it's usually only the first trim that does anything. And it's not really enough to even feel it, you can just hear it.

[CedarFair1What's with the donkeys anyway?]

Very small update

A bunch of the supports all the way up to front gate have been put up, and the so called "barrel roll" lol was added on a little bit. Kind of a pointless update but meh... I would have taken more pictures but security was parked right next to me and it was just a little awkward lol.

^That last shot makes Levi looks sorta like Millennium Force's brother-from-another-mother. Nice to see progress on the first overbank.

[bottom_feeder_132 + 2 = donkey!]

Is it just me or does that overbank look like it'll be incredibly forceful as well as very overbanked?

[Bryce232Donkeys are my way of life!]

The barrel roll is basically a half overbank. Instead of doing it like MF, it breaks at the second half and just goes straight. Seems like it'll be a mean element with lots of force! I really hope this B&M offers an experience different from the others. Thanks for the pictures!

[asimowalkIndiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Donkey.]

Nice pictures. The first picture of the 'barrel roll' progress really shows off the scale of this project. There was a lot of excitement with the completion of the lift, but I think that excitement will run up to the incredibly long brake run... at least for us locals.

Is security allowing people to come into the parking lot to take pictures? I'm sure with the coaster being in plain view that people coming in for a closer look was expected so I'm curious to hear if they're turning an eye this time. I remember with Behemoth, the park was asking people not to come onto the property, specifically Canada's Wonderland Drive.
