Well if that's the case all of the Mack powered coasters aren't classified as coasters...

ah, ok makes sense. :wink:

I have said before I dont truly view it as a coaster but it truly is. & I have said as well that in a few weeks/months time, Ill be obsessed with the idea. Its creepin up on me already :lol:

We should/can all agree its a "cheap" way to get a coaster record & break it & that indeed it is a coaster.

Yeah, I'm still confused on if it really is a coaster. But RCDB has it up as a coaster but still doesn't prove to much. http://www.rcdb.com/id4161.htm

they could put major height on it but i guess they just want an "F1 racing experience"

Well really, they obviously aren't trying to make a great coaster. I just think they mean for it to be a driving experience, as said above.

^They are up to date. I update them every day. I'm not counting down until the season starts, I'm counting down to when I'm going.

That launch is gonna do it for, well id say everyone but....alot of guests :wink:

However now that i think of it, It would have also been nice/cool if they made it like Test track at epcot...

I actually think it'd be a neat ride. I love that sensation of getting launched that fast that quickly...

I love the getting launched on rides. Excep the feeling where you can't breathe because of all the air going against your face especially on TTD. V2 isn't as bad becuase it's slower.

I loved that in the front row of dragster. Its a much different experience. In any row the rides exhilarating, but the the front & second are best in my opinion. Its like V2, i hate sitting any other rows than 1-3 due to the spin factor. :wink:

I just hope one day soon, ill be takin a trip to Germany to test this bad bi**h out while the hype is up. Its not like Id go all that way for one coaster......... right?:wink: :lol:

This coaster kinda sounds like Test Drive at EPCOT. Except it might actually be fun. No reason to travel to Deutschland though.

Thats what i said they should have made it like. Its not like that at all. Ive read the press releases & I havent read anything on what that indoor section really is. I think it actually says "new indoor attraction"....hmm. Well all i know, or hope i know :wink: is that its gonna be one hell of a quick thrill.

You can see that in the artwork for the ride...the "birdseye" view.
