As you enter into the diorama... immediately to the right?

For the love of gawd .... wow

It's just a fantastic ride. Laughing out loud from the first drop through the last maze of twisted track...

is anyone else at all concerned that the coaster track is not being installed before the surrounding building? From a construction standpoint it seems illogical unless the building itself is part of the ride structure.

Concerned? no. I believe they know what they're doing.

Yeah, pretty sure they got this.

While not concerned, I am curious to see when they actually start putting track in place. Hopefully we will still have a view of the track as it goes in, though at the rate things are going I am wondering if they are going to do all of the track install afterwards.

It worked in 1975

The layout suggests the best way to fit enough track into the building and not make it an endless collection of turns to the left. Or right.

helices are also a good way to rack up feet/meters for the claim

Lounge is behind and to the right of the preshow hall - the latter of which should retain its location and general shape.

Hmm... does this mean there will be a preshow right when you walk in the building before the queue begins?

I instantly thought of Revolution:

The ride is one continuous helix with projections on the top and bottom of the building. It's not a thrilling design but very original.

Nope. Switchbacks.

SM:M1 sounds very promising, Crush’s Coaster not so much. The inside of that gravity building is just super ugly

Think Crush's Coaster. And (again) SM:M1

SM:M1 sounds very promising, Crush’s Coaster not so much. The inside of that gravity building is just super ugly. And there are some attempts of making “water/wave” effects and it feels really cheap. Still a fun ride though.

I may have missed this, but will the launch tube be underground or above?

Above ground.

Good, and brief, video.

As not a coaster fanatic (except for Disney/Universal level family coasters, LOL), this is incredibly helpful. Thanks for posting it.

Opryland USA had a taller, thinner version....and it was terribly boring. It was a Vekoma Illusion... a fully enclosed tubular steel roller coaster, runing on Vekoma's narrow MK-700 track system. Two of them were built. Chaos in Nashville, and Revolution Mount Mara in Belgium. I pray that we don't get anything remotely similar to this.

Standing in World Showcase last week I can say that it was clearly the largest thing I could see and grabbed my attention.....next to Spaceship Earth as far as attention grabbing goes.

Not as crazy big as I was expecting. And this is from an elevated pov.

With Chapek's promise of "more family", and insiders saying 'no loops,' I don't see this being any more thrilling than any of the other coasters excluding RnRC.

And if they're really trying to draw people from MK, then they have to draw families, which means more rides kids can ride (see Mission Space Green).

I maintain that Everest is more intense than RnRC. Everest was sold as a "Family Ride" when it was being built. Rohde said, "Yes it's a family ride but it's a fast family ride."

Steel Vengeance, that opened this summer at Cedar Point, is now the undisputed king of crazy coasters..

That looks like fun, but X-2 still checks all the crazy boxes for me.
