Enjoy these pics, they show a lot of the basics of the ride (ie the station with coaster train (though it's really just one car, a few of the scenes, the launch section, the reverser track, and much of the actual "ride" building.) Once all the special effects and animatronics are working, this should be a pretty cool ride. I'm assuming the one at USF is either exactly the same or reasonably close... (FYI, you have to click the "See for yourself link to start the photo tour of the ride)
If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.
Different or the same, I'm sure it will be a GREAT ride too!

There are no bad coasters, only better coasters!!
Both look like very good rides (I've been on Orlando version.) And, I'm with coasterbruh, I can't wait till' someone compares them.
When I got me "technical preview" last week, it seemed the ride was good to go. The crew was doing a fantastic job, all the effects were working, sweet!
A word of warning, tho. The signs say no carry-on articles and this is strictly enforced. I saw people turned back by an attendant as they neared what will be the Express merge. Use the lockers.
Due to the darkness and the motion, items would EASILY get lost on the ride...even saw a guy trying to get his hat back, LOL...I sure hope they continue to be strict about items carried on!
coasterMNguy...Not sure what you mean about "bumpiness", all the Premiers I've ridden have been smooth....since they were retrofitted I've found them to be among my fav steelies....:) Although, it is kinda weird to ride an inversion-less Premier, LOL....;)
To me, the braking was sudden (right after the station), which was uneeded. But, with the beetle effect, it was fine, because it played in the story.
The rest of the braking seemed fine to me, and I love it- such a great ride.
