I guess my clue was a bust. haha. Yep Wildfire, I hear there's a barrel roll down the valley...

Interesting. I've also heard that there will be no more inversions on this thing, so I guess it's anyone's guess at this point. People keep asking if the fake-out/cutback/whatever is a barrel roll or not. You would have thought that with all the angles we have of it now people would get the idea... Still dieing to see a train go through it.

Agree Shave, thats why I was confused. Then I asked specifically if they were referring to the element after the drop, they said nope this one is down in the valley. I'm pretty sure it's hiding behind the banner.

Very nice! This ride is just full of surprises.

I got some pics today. They are starting the turn that goes through the lift. They also put up a HUGE banner blocking some of the construction down in the valley.

Hey everyone,

Ex-coaster junkie, been a looooooooooooooooooooong time since I posted on any theme park boards, but this project has got me giddy like I used to get.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for posting the pictures, you and everyone else, this project seems to be something we can all be proud of!

I can't decide if I'm excited or nervous about the concept of a barrel roll. I have nothing against something being prototypical, but it does make me sort of nervous that it could not go just right. We'll see, I guess. All that I know is that so far this thing has looked amazing and that even if this ride ends up being short and sweet, I'm happy to have it at the city because I've been dreaming of a new coaster for quite some time now!

mammalone · July 28, 2012, 11:24:41 PM

Well there's no doubt now. Saw the roll today and it is amazing! Down in the valley...

Wildfire · July 29, 2012, 06:55:55 AM

Is it visible from the train now?

mammalone · July 29, 2012, 07:25:21 AM

Not visible from the train.

Wildfire · July 29, 2012, 08:21:43 AM

We demand photos!

mammalone · July 29, 2012, 09:56:43 AM

^sorry no photos. I don't want the SDC ninjas coming after me.

but it is there, and cool! I can promise you that.

Grapeslie · July 29, 2012, 12:52:44 PM

I want what you're saying to be true. But I wont believe it till I see it. Don't get me wrong I do believe this is very possible but I am not going to get my hopes up just to be let down.

Colby Cox · July 29, 2012, 01:15:04 PM

I'm getting very jittery about this announcement. It's coming so close!

Wildfire · July 29, 2012, 01:16:17 PM

You can go ahead and post pictures of it. Nobody knows who you really are so I wouldn't worry about any ninjas.
