If Dippin' Dots is the "Ice Cream of the Future", why is it in the present?
ACN has an incredible video of Xcel testing... For now, find it in the message boards (its not too hard!)
My baby is growing up... ;)

oh man! thats awesome, did you see how fast it went over the top? this is gonna be one intense ride.
Holy crap... the one that it actually makes it over is extreme. You know, that's going to be the tough thing on this ride, getting the launch to float you over and not seriously eject you.
And wouldn't a rollback be cool on this ride? ;)

What's wrong with getting seriuosly ejecting you? ;)
Is it just me or is this a lot like Hypersonic?
Also, which of the turns are overbanked? It's looks like the last one is, but the middle one isn't, but it's hard to tell.

The legend lives!
Wow! How was your first ride kRaXLe?! I can't believe they let you on it already.
Exactly how much more thrilling was it than Hypersonic?
(As for a lot longer, LMAO. It's 20sec long compared to 17sec. Hehehe)
Looks like a cool ride for what it does!

kraXLeRidAh just ignore Legendary. He is just jealous that he didn't get to ride it before you. LMAO. Whatever. Both turns are overbanked. If putting in palm trees adds to themeing, well, then IOA wasted a lot of money on DD's que. 3weeks and counting.

Hahaha Kevin, at least I got to ride X...you may not. :-P
What was this thread about again? Oh yeah, Xcelerator. The train looks hellasmall and really funny going around the track. I laughed. Not to mention the transitions after the top hat are like...perfect. Looks like you won't even feel them!

Adding to what Jeff said, I think it would be awesome if the ride initially launched at around 60mph, with not enough speed to make it over the tower the first time. Then the full launch could kick in and launch you out at 80mph. This would increase the duration of the ride, and add to the thrill factor.
