I agree, if you look at theese rides, Italian Job, Space mountain, Tatsu, Everest, Petradon, Top gun, they all are themed off airborne things. Its ok to have one once in a while, but still, that is an example of overkill. Oh and is this ride Dueling?
Well i have been on an Intamin Rocket coaster, Kingda Ka, and i can tell you, this thing wont compare. ITs a combo of Rita and Kanonen, but tamed down.
O yeah and Kingda Ka PWNS
Yeah i agree with you there is no need for a copter. It would be cool if they used Pyrotechnics for fire and xplosions and stuff. I think its just a kanonen without any inversions.
