Sometimes it did do a rollback. You def would’ve had to have gotten lucky though to ever get a rollback (I unfortunately never got one 😞). This iteration def looks like it’s more fun for sure, but I gotta admit I’m going to miss that cable launch there’s nothing out there to compare to that feeling of getting launched so quick and hard from stand still 🤷♂️. This looks like it’s going to be absolutely fast just not sure it’s going to have that same feeling of 0-115mph that the original version had. At least this version of the ride is longer and worthy of the wait time vs the original.

@guyt6244Ай бұрын
To answer the question “why does it look rough” because the trains have weight much higher up than the originals did and thus such motions are amplified.

@@guyt6244 I think you mean lower? I know for a fact the Zamperla trains are much lighter than the Intamin trains. But yeah I suspected that some of the movement was due to the lighter trains

Because the seats are higher off of the track (heart line be damned) and the over the shoulder lap bar mechanics adds weight to the top of the (yes, lighter) trains.
