This looks like a weird mini version of Montu, but still looks good.

A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.

I love sequencing this invert has! Great job... there's a pov on youtube poasted today with sound that I just watched and its got some decent speed.
Leviathan - "I am a B&M, I am clearly not the father. I305 is not my child."
Millennium Force - "Yes he is Maury... I am 100% sure"
Maury - "Leviathan ..... in the case of possessed juvenile I305 .... you are not the father!
Maverick - (giggles with guilty grin)"

Thanks Bob! :)

It's much easier that way, and really, people don't have to miss that, that ride is truly amazing!

From the area theming, the queue filled with humor, the track flying over us, the great drop, the tunnels and footchopers... It's not only a coaster on a parking, but it's not a thematised Vekoma neither.. ;)

By the way, in the video you can hear me shoting some familiar phrases.. "Loopy Loop" ; "Take the tunnel".. :evil: All the copyrights go to TPR of course!

Ok I was a bit skeptical of this ride until I saw the POV, I know rides can't be judged by the POV but this thing LOOKS amazing

This ride looks like the real deal! I love the pacing (as everyone else has already said), and the theming looks awesome too! The final helix looks like it pulls some really nice force too.

I will say right now that in my opinion this looks like the best custom invert since Katun which opened in 2000... so it's been a while! This thing looks like it has awesome pacing, layout, and forces... very cool.

*books Eurostar tickets NOW* :b

Seriously, this has to be one of the best layouts of an invert ever.

The first "zero G roll" is actually a corkscrew. So strangely, the zero G roll is the final inversion of the ride.

You're right. I wasn't sure if that bizarre inversion was a zero-g or a corkscrew, but while riding it, you doesn't experience zero-g. So it's a corkscrew to me, even if it's not shaped like the regular wing-over, it's a lot more smooth.


EDIT : Here's a second video, with ew offride shots and a backseat POV. The drop is even more amazing from there!
