I feel like Intamin might try to one up Velocioaster just because this is much bigger challenge. Will that actually come through? Hm, not sure. If this ride feels as "complete" as Ghostrider (not saying the experience will be similar, dear lord no) I'd say it's a big win in my book.
Haven't ridden Velocicoaster yet so not sure how to guage what this ride could potentially feel like.
I think when we consider Universal's past two advances with Intamin, that being Hagrids (which is ALSO, a MDC Coaster) and Velocicoaster; it shows Intamin wanting to push the envelope on what is possible with the types of coasters as it is.
With this being what was essentially Mack-Rides introduction to their Extreme Spinner with Time Traveller, I think Intamin is gonna double-up on what is possible here with the X-Treme MDC's capabilities. And if that results in an experience on-par with Velocicoaster, and Gotham City Escape; but with the controlled rotations to feel like it's even more out of control; then this is gonna be on par with a must see coaster like Eejanaika, Velocicoaster, GCE, and X2.
Something you genuinely can't get anywhere else.
As long as its as forceful as Flight of the Hippogriff, I'm good ahaha.No seriously, that thing has crazy forces for Vekoma Junior. It even has a moment of ejector if you sit in the back.More thrilling than Mummy
The funny thing is, our Hippogriff isn't even from Vekoma! it's from Mack-Rides XD
