I really want to know how much trouble he went through in order to do that. I remember seeing the video a few years ago and the guy did it before the coaster opened. GCI probably felt good that the track was smooth or they would've seen a guy eat it at more than 50 mph.

WHile it certainly looks like a GCI layout, it is not one of their coasters.

It looks a little too calm to be a Groupie, but that turnaround in the first pic definitely looks awesome. What coasters are they anyway?

Mammut at Tripsdrill in Germany.

Yes. It's a very twisty ride, but reported to be not intense at all.
