Anyone care to repost the images here?

^That's for Palindrome, I have not seen any pictures of Circuit Breaker's construction (or even its confirmed location) as of yet. The renderings show it to be in the red area behind Turn 20, but that seems an odd distance away from Palindrome (blue) and the rest of the rides:

Just the corkscrew remaining: Love the shaping of the turnaround from this angle. Even more impressed at the number of columns holding it up!

Feel like I'm going insane trying to read those names. So it looks like we have "The Quest at Tir na Nog" in Pic 1, "Fianna Force" in #2, and [maybe] "Celtic D______R" on #3?

Yeahhhh that POV unfortunately isn't doing it any favors. It was indeed a cold morning, first run, on a non-weighted train POV. This opening day footage with riders looks much better. I'll save final judgement for a 90°day in July when it's proper broken in.

Lol, Kingda Ka is [probably] one hydraulic motor blowout from this happening:

Full images for ease of viewing: ADORE this concept so, so much. Great that they're still working on this. Even though the main coaster has changed from a Tilt to a different Vekoma layout ("Inverted Trebuchet" launch model), I think it may end up being the better ride here. Can't wait to...

If it's a full Dino's revamp, sure does seem like a good candidate for a Vekoma Fam-erang, Camp Snoopy expansion like Kings Island. Though you could fit 3 or 4 Rebound models in that plot of land, so maybe something more sizeable could go in.

It's literally the same lap bar as all the new-gen Intamins, same grab bars as Velocicoaster. Genuinely incredible that there's always something to complain about.

^I believe it's this large centerpiece theme/rock structure, in the water park:

^Probably the former; the rides were marketed & introduced in 2009, so it tracks that it would have been a 15-year deal. I305 losing the Intimidator name makes sense, as the whole area is (likely) going to the Jungle Xpedition theme. I'd've expected the Carowinds one to keep the name since...

Dammit, I got excited for a second.

^And in Lightroom when Saturation is cranked up to 90🤣

Sort of, the corporate name "SeaWorld Entertainment" is now United Parks & Resorts: see here Individual park names will remain the same.

New picture from Clermont, new track code for @roomraider's spreadsheet🤣 Phoenix Rising, FI-D. Maaaaaybe FI-C could be BGW's alleged Drachen Fire replacement/Big Bad Wolf tribute, and the two project schedules got switched? 🤔

In looking for unrelated references, I stumbled across this one on Mack's "Beyond the Cloud": 25 years for entire ride, 20 for vehicles.

Depends on the coaster type. On a B&M, they're variable and can be adjusted automatically. These brakes are simply a metal (copper?) fin mounted to the track, so the only way to have them not slow the train down is to get up on a lift and physically remove them. This is definitely a "just in...

^The two inversions are 1) the downward roll coming off the large outerbank, and 2) the stall-dive loop right after. The first "Immelmann" is not an inversion.

^Was this post necessary? I appreciate your usual obscure news, but this... does not matter one iota.

Hate to bubble-burst so soon, but solely based on the footers, this ride won't reach 1/3 of that waiver height. Maybe not even 1/4. Still working with others on the details & layout iterations, but the hopes of this being a major thrill coaster are gone IMO. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
