Silver Star POV-expectations?

I don't know how soon it will be before I get to ride this monster, but I just watched the POV and I was more than amazed at the incredible pace this coaster runs at. Granted, I don't think the block brakes were on, but holy cow....this thing was moving. Have you seen the POV, and what is your opinion? What a crazy ending to a very fast ride. The only thing that I was not that impressed by was the drop. I admit I was expecting Nitro...:)

Rob, I'm fairly certain that has been sped up, don't you think? I don't think it would really go that pace.

That video was running at 150%. I only wish it went that fast!

Joe, who cannot wait for Europe!

was it just me or are there two trims on this ride? It would seem kind of unnecessary having two trims but maybe the second is just a figment of my imagination. The finale s-curve should be a wicked manuever especially since it will be taken at a pretty good speed.

There is a trim going up the third "element" and 5th "element."

Oh my,(drooling) this is just one more reason for me to get back to Europe. I visited Europe when I was enlisted in the Air Force, but never got a chance to ride any coasters. Plus, back then there really wasn't much to ride there anyway. But now, WOW I would love to take my wife there. She has never been overseas. This is a great reason to go!

Did I mention, that I like coasters...

Nitro clone my foot! Europe is the place to be this season...

Peabody....yeah, now that I look at it again, it is hauling, almost unbelievably fast. Makes sense, but then again, it does look like "normal" in spots too. If it is at 150%, it is after the lift, because that is definitely a standard climb. How tall is this again?

A cool new website waiting for you here!

The climb is fast. It's 239' high according to RCDB. The coaster peaks out 45 seconds into the video. Nitro, which is 250' takes 53 seconds from dispatch to peak. (I timed it to try to sync it with my headphones).

Well....okay, then! Thanks AA!

Yeah the lift seemed way to fast IMO. It had to be running 150% because the cars were up top so fast. I know from riding Raging Bull it takes forever to get to the top and that is a shorter coaster.
