I don't know if this video was posted yet, but I found this POV of a No Limits recreation and it seems pretty awesome!

The theming looks awesome but the ride itself doesn't. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see it being better than Speed.

EDIT: What the hell, I'm sure it'll be awesome!

That airtime hill does look promising, and I really like the name they have given it to hide it's identity, 'Project Dylan'.

Anyway, I thought they said it was going to have 4 inversions, I can only see 3 on the layout picture above. :?r

So, where was the inversion that they replaced meant to be?

^ Instead of the airtimehill and the turn up to the MCBR, there were another MCBR and an Immelman turn like the ones found on Rage and Spongebob.

^Couldn't of they just added the airtime hill and left the Immelman turn in the layout?

^ I'm not sure why they removed the Immelmann turn, could have been since they had little space or that they had to remove it because the block section would have been to far to remove stacking.

There's a really wild rumor going around that it is going to be based on the Saw films. It's only a rumor but this one sounds feasible in terms of context.

Oh and John Wardley is involved in the ride
