Sitting in red gold now waiting for the announcement. I'm focusing on keeping the FB page updated since that is easiest. Lots of excitement! Swoosh and sdcfan88 are getting great footage.

I should have joined you!!!!

All spinning. That's a huge letdown for me.

Me too. I won't be able to ride it.

It helps to know your limitations in life. I could ride Time Traveler, but I'd feel nauseous the rest of the day.

Will be very interesting to see how ridership looks given its sure to appeal to a more limited audience. Man, what a bummer. I would think they would at least give the rider the choice of whether or not to spin.

Maybe the magnets could hold the seats in place on request?  I was bummed too that it didn't have at least one car that doesn't spin.

At least it will be controlled....sounds like they picked up on peoples concerns about that.  It's an interesting marketing issue to explain to the public that it's not the tea cups on rails.

Thought is was funny and almost awkward the way he was trying to get the Mack guy to proclaim it was the most important Mack coaster ever.

Spinning of any kind is going to turn away plenty.

I was concerned about that.  But it sounds like with their "control" that the spinning won't be bad.  It won't be the high speed, dizziness inducing kind of spinning.  Sounds like a slower speed that will be more like a slow turn rather than a spin that will just change your perspective as you ride.

That YouTube clip doesn't include the big butt building they are building in the middle of the ride but it shows the train coming to a stop at launch segment that fits wher3 it is at. They ain't telling all today.  It was plain to to see on the drone footage behind Thomas and the Mack beanstalk.

I think some of you are getting scared easily, if you can ride OR then I wouldn't think you will have problems with a controlled spin on TT.

And yet the ride animation simply shows nothing more than a front-facing traditional ride orientation. I applaud SDC on the bold investment and for pulling out all the stops to ensure the majority of the ride was kept under wraps until today, but I'm beyond disappointed that even as a huge coaster enthusiast, I'll never be able to set foot on this ride.
