Anyone notice that the announcement is at the same time as the Discovery takes off at Cape Canaveral?

Look at the "People on CB Right Now" number! I've never seen it close to 1000, and it's over 1100 now. Can you tell people are excited?

not only did this announcement kill their servers we may have dropped cbuzz for a short time also.
Watch the tram car please....
CincyDJ
It sure seemed like cbuzz completely rebooted for a minute there. I've given up on the HW announcement. Nothing's playing now. I'll just have to read about it later and hope someone posts the webcast.

WOW! This coaster looks awesome! Tons of air, good S turns (quick short laterals are the best), several underground tunnels, very large size, and if I am seeing this POV right, 2 Hades-like turns where you quickly go to very steep banking. UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE! I am so there.

I may have already found a new #1, and it hasn't even been built yet! If these stats about air-time hold true, all the elements do in fact come to existence, and Gravity Group, the ones that made the incredible Hades are putting this thing together, there is no way in turkey hell this woodie can suck!
This looks like a coaster enthusiasts dream, like raventtd said, unfreakingbeliveable!!!

Shall we all now take a moment to bow our head and say a prayer of Thanks for the news that we received from HW today.

Let's not forget, this thing is tall...really tall! Could this be one of the first really tall coasters to be really good? Sure sounds like it! Wow, I can't even stand up right now. ;)

Yeah those 90* turns are amazing, but I have to admit I am a little disappointed. I was ready to see a "small park" take the length record. This is an amazing coaster, and seems like it will be very smooth and enjoyable. No helixes, and I don't know if I like the idea of all 3 drops being right at the beginning. What else is coming in, I mean except for knowing we could be in the dark, we are still in the dark on a lot. I want to know answers to Paulas hints. What did T.O.W. mean? How about a map showing us where this goes, good idea to update the maps. What did all the flags mean. Answers Paula, we want answers!
Mind you, even a tiny difference, such as that between 0 and 0.000126, can make a world of difference.
