I don't know if anyone has seen pictures of this coaster, but this seems so..well...unsafe! 8) Take a look at the pictures, how is this structure holding together and check out the wheel assembly on the vehicles!

It looks interesting, but it does look safe. Those cables are thick and they look to support a large amount of force.

Oh, i'm sure it is, but still, it's 180 feet tall and it just looks like it's very flimsy. I'm assumin this is the only one of it's kind right?

I haven't seen anything like that, so I'm guessing that it is one of a kind.

It's a one of a kind and it's the first coaster made by Input. I think think it looks pretty boring and I dont see many of these being built. I bet Walibi Belgium installed the coaster because they havent added a coaster since 2001 and it had a small price tag.

If it was dangerous, it wouldnt be built.

Remember this?

That's what it's replacing.

The new ride reminds me of the single-rail suspended coaster from RCT2.

Wow. I'm not sure about this one. It looks pretty cool but a little nerve racking. It looks like the cars are meant to swing around the track, but thats not possible so it could have some weird swinging involved. I probably wouldnt ride it.
