[Kw6sTheateeDonkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

I wasn’t really disappointed with the layout. Most people are used to RMC’s having super tight turn and hil radius which produces that insane ejector airtime they are notorious for, but I think some floater air would be nice for a change.

I miss all those massive helixes.





Not really. This is looking great.

Shocking, I know, but it's true!

I still can't get over those lost helixes.

^If you miss all those massive helixes you can always go to Kings Island and ride The Beast.

I'm incredibly bummed that this coaster is ALL THE WAY IN FREAKING JAPAN!!

That just means more traveling I get to do....whenever I get to do it because working/grad school is kicking my entire ass right now That coaster is not only beautiful (I'm loving the white/blue contrast), but it looks damn fun!!

[jynx242Why do I still have a donkey title???]

This looks Fantastic! I like that is is kind of "quirky" for an RMC - lots of little dips and hops along with the large drops and overbanks.

Looks like a ton of fun.

This thing is massive...Love the blue track!

[yay101I donut like this custom title :(]

Honestly it looks like a great ride, and Japan isn't used to having RMCs so it's a great first RMC for them. I think the locals will love it. If I go it'll likely be my favorite coaster at Nagashima SpaLand. They do have the most original RMC train design too in my opinion (the Gerstlauer RMC trains don't count). I do hope a few more parks in Japan/Asia install RMCs of some sort in the future.
