That I can believe, next year the only "big" coasters being installed in the Six Flags chain are the two green lanterns (Gadv and MM) and Dare Devil Dive in SFoG.

Almost all the products of decisions by previous management (tweaked by location changes at most).

Looks really smooth, on a positive note.

On the negative, I saw trims on the last hill before the return camelbacks and the ride would be so much more intense if it had a real SPEED FACTOR.

Looks like another Intamin special. There are trims on the very first hill as you go UP!  There is no way they meant for it to crawl through the rest of the course that slowly so one can only guess they goofed on what the human body can endure or they are still doing test and adjust. But for me, this is letdown.

There was someone who said the forces were too great for the average person to endure, so I guess they added the trims so it would be "safe" for everyone.  Somewhat off topic but S&S did the same thing to ring racer, btw.

That's why they both suck...
Peep the concept, you've got progress, you've got congress
We protest in hopes they confess, just proceed on your conquest
I ain't got no gavel, I ain't finna fight nobody battle
I just wanna be free, I ain't finna be nobody's chattel

And if I learned the right things about INTAMIN I can say that ride should have a few breakdown periods in the next year or two.
