That looks pretty awesome. I love the lift hill and the angle of descent on the first drop. Intamin's woodies seem really good.

Gosh, if that huge thing turns out as smooth as El Toro supposedly is, i'd contemplate heading out there for that!

Whoever said South Korea is a bad place? It's North Korea that is run by an evil dictator.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

^ So what, obviously he's been there and has the right to say anything about South Korea.
I hate to thumb my nose in here, but I think this needs to be said.
Read your PM's.

That brake run just screams to me that Intamin put a real serious lack of effort into designing that ride. It's like they just took the first half of ElToro, then trimmed the speed down to nothing and started Balder for the ending.
If they actually sat down and designed that thing like that they should either A. be ashamed of themselves
or B. should have reprofiled the entire Balder half to where it could be taken with the speed the train had. Nothing kills a coaster better than a mid course trim set to basically stop the train.

I agree that that brake run is pretty suckey. Other than that, it seemed like a good ride, and was pretty lenghthy too.
