That turn looks completely inverted!

This is easily one of my most anticipated coasters ever! I'm really glad they're starting a teaser campaign, and an interactive one at that!

Can't wait for the is-it-an-inversion argument to start!

But really, this thing is already shaping up to be amazing, and it's just started!

Honestly, I haven't been this excited for a coaster this early in construction since El Toro. ...And that turned out pretty well.

Looking at the course the footers take after that banking it appears that the only way that "turn" can go is to the right of what's pictured meaning that is a zero-g roll. Obviously we need to wait and see if that's true, but right now it looks like that's what's going on. Could we really be seeing another attempt at an inverting woody?

I know where my coaster travels are taking me next year.

[ShavethewhalesI wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

It's definately not a zero-g roll. This is right after the drop, and the course goes up into a 270-degree turn of some sort. It looks like the first 180 degrees is an overbank, and the last 90 extends the dive into the valley back towards the base of the drop. It looks funky, but I can't imagine it doing a roll here simply because of the layout. Now it could do an inverted overbank - I've been expecting it to be extremely pitched at the very least, but the supports are so funky it will be difficult to tell what's going on until track is actually in place.

Looks like this ride is going to have one hell of a start!

That ride looks completely insane.

[paiging_jenWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

SDC is the #1 park on my must visit list next year.

[ChrisradJason X versus the Robot Space Donkey!]

August 9th? Was that intended, or should it have opened by now?

It does look insane. And damn you for having such an awesome park so close.

Want to come out here and join me at SFMM?
