$50,000,000? If someone told you that they were pulling your chain! $15,000,000 might be more realistic, but even that seems a tad high when you think about it. I'm sure it's not a cheap ride, but there are many factors that make it affordable like other boomerang type models. (Why do you think there are so many boomerangs?) Having only one train saves a lot of money. A train is most likely the single most expensive part of a coaster. A section of track or support pole probably costs nothing in comparison. Short track length and compact design also must save a lot of money in fabrication and construction.
I don't know what it cost, but the $12 million area would seem like a good guess.
