This should be a very interesting roller coaster, to say the least!

200+ foot drop at 116 degrees? Sign me up!

"Primarily constructed and manufactured locally". Sounds like it may be an S&S contraption.....super large version of Wild Hog?

I believe that the only major roller coaster manufacturer that the ride is / could be involved with is probably Maurer Sohne, because they helped the park somewhat with their last "in-house" coaster, Bombora, but in the end, the real manufacturer of the ride is Lagoon, itself. At most, Lagoon will only be receiving certain parts for the coaster from Maurer Sohne.

The designer of the ride, however, is Dal Freeman, former designer for the defunct Arrow Dynamics, of Clearfield UT.

When they say local, they mean local construction companies and suppliers, not S&S. They did the major design work in-house.

Wow good for them.

The track piece in a picture on one of those links looks like Intamin, Mack or Gerstlauer. I'm inclined to think it'll be a Eurofighter in this case.

Intermountain Lift is supplying the track. Lagoon themselves are the manufacturer.

This isn't your typical installation where a park simply contracts a manufacturer and they take care of it. Lagoon designed it and are essentially building it themselves. They did it with Bombora and Wicked (to an extent) before. This may be the largest roller coaster to be designed and built by a park.

A vertical lift over 200 feet? Wow.

See The Beast @ Kings Island. Tallest, perhaps, largest, perhaps not.

Anyone watch the video in the first link? I would like to network with Lagoon's spokesperson.

So... it eats other roller coasters?

^That must be the one of a kind maneuver!

12 Person car? Definitely sounds like a take on a Euro-fighter or a 'Maverick' style launcher. And from the rendering...Does the lift and first drop take place in that massive building? This looks really interesting.

^ The Trains will be 3 Rows, with 4 Across, on only 4 Bogies, with an overhead lap bar. The Trains are Definitely NOT anything like those from Gerstlauer or Stakotra Manufacturing, since they are being Fabricated by ART Engineering GmbH, which supplied Trains for BomBora and Trains and Track and Column Engineering for Wonder Mountain's Guardian. The Vertical Lift will be a Vertical Elevator Lift like Intamin used on Pilgrims Plunge and Divertical. The 116 Degree Beyond Vertical Drop will be outside the Tower. There are Renderings we got from Lagoon over on LagoonisFun.com.

I'm somewhat surprised this thread hasn't received more attention, especially based off how gigantic - and unique - this project is.

Here are two recent pictures of the coaster's construction:

From Theme Park Review, the ride's massive tower and drop.

From Standard Examiner, a look at the base of the drop and the ride's first inversion.

Do I spy a large trim brake at the top of the drop?

If so, *sigh*

^That's the norm for most beyond-90 degree roller coasters. Takabisha, Crazy Bird, Timber Drop, Mumbo Jumbo, and Steel hawg - the five steepest roller coasters in the world - all have similar features on their main drops.

Even Maverick slows down a lot before the drop.

Trying to decide if that glorious drop cancels out that hideous tower...

^Hideous? I think it looks intimidating and will serve as an epic new icon for the park.

Here are a few new photos, originally posted on Lagoon's Facebook:

Yeah, if that is the finished product (strictly speaking of the tower) then I'm sticking with hideous.

That building almost looks too narrow for a vertical lift. Judging by the radius of the crest of the first drop, the lift probably has small radii as it curves up and back to level. I'm guessing the trim brake is there so the negative g forces don't get too uncomfortable. I'm curious to see the rest of the layout they have planned.

I also agree on the design of the tower being rather hard on the eyes.

Too narrow for a vertical lift?

This coaster looks like it'll be a lot of fun, though I don't think it'd be anything more thrilling than other coasters aside from the huge drop. Not a BAD thing

The siding Lagoon used on the Tower actually has a Wood Grain Faux Finish on it.

Cannibal has a Dual Elevator Lift just like Pilgrim's Plunge did and Divertical has.

This looks mighty impressive for a coaster built in-house.

It's going to be unbelievably good....or unbelievably bad. No way that thing's going to be mediocre.

Looks amazing! Looks can be deceiving though, there is only one way to find out how enjoyable it is...
