And that’s why I dumped it on a podcast rather than running straight to the forums. Y’all have made me afraid to bring bad news up.
Also, for what it’s worth, I’m still awaiting further confirmation. Hopefully the info is wrong. :shrug:
I come here for fun. Ever since F&F, the site largely hasn't been fun. It's just been a constant gnashing of teeth. Exciting things get pages upon pages of complaints. Bad things get dozens of pages upon pages of complaints. I don't care about Universal. I care that this place has become a damn miserable place.
I hope that they plant tall pines surrounding the spike. Shooting up into the treetops would be exhilarating.
You know, I'm reading everything about this ride.. and I'm still not even sure if I'll be riding or not. (not a coaster guy) :afraid:
Sorry to double post and I'm actually almost embarrassed to post this because of how badly done it is but here's what I think the spike could look like.

New article up with construction photos and specific scene descriptions. I also created an updated track layout (below). I listed the scenes as best I could based on what we know, as well as some newer rumors.

Giggity.
Lol it looks funny to me only cause of the looping, but yea, I wouldn’t mind something like that.
I doubt we will have a forest that dense. I assume trees will be paced enough to allow maintenance and track replacement in the future.
QUESTION: If the spike is not going to have a brake, How would the track switch work? you would think that the car would have to be in a locked position before any switch of track happens. Is the switch track prior to launch? so the RV can stop at the launch area in case of switch track malfunctions. If so, I don't like cars running at that speed backwards on the launch station... anything goes wrong and there goes the coaster for a while. (remembering the major damage on Top Thrill Dragster)
There's a break run on the bottom portion of track after the spike but before the track switch, if I'm remembering correctly

I've been giving this a lot of thought, while reading comments from both sides of the circumstance......I actually prefer the open sky to the former enclosed cavern with spiders. :thumbsup: Seems exciting & spectacular to me, with a hint of danger feeling. And the potential view and experiencing the entire forested area is awesome. I like the probable feel of it. Free as a bird....for a sec or two.Sorry to double post and I'm actually almost embarrassed to post this because of how badly done it is but here's what I think the spike could look like.

I think the launch can also be used as a brake?
I'm all for the no brakes on the spike, it gives a better stomach in your mouth feeling.
Something I've meaning to ask, is the launch sound on Cheetah Hunt added or is this the sound the LSM make?
That's their sound...The LIMs(?) launch systems have that high pitched screech....I'm expecting that sound probably on the HP coasterI think the launch can also be used as a brake?

I always assumed it was added (or somehow exaggerated) to make it sound like a pouncing cat.

Apparently I'm the only person who got it. lol I Love Montezooma's at Knott's. Great ride.Monty Hagrid's Flying Bikes
