Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the same thing going on with some of DK's supports?

I love JoraVision. They're absolutely amazing. I studied them a long time ago and the whole ideology they have in terms of design is fascinating.
^^ I don't think Speed of Sound is that bad, it fits in with the whole area it's situated in and the lighting effects in the tunnel are actually pretty fun.

Is this pretty much the same as Rolling Thunder that was at Alton? I loved that.

^Almost the same as Thunderlooper, indeed. The only difference is the launch mechanism, the launch on Thunderlooper was a weight drop launch* and this is a flywheel launch*. The track length and height are both the same, as is the speed.
I think it is great that it is re-opening with a new theme, however it is a bit of a pity the name is dropped.
*Both facts acquired on RCDB.

Together with Turbine, a brand new themed zone will be opened next year. Because starting from next year, the whole park will undergo a complete re-theme of the existing zones. The zones going from the entrance to Lucky Luke City, including the former Paris 1900 and Italian zone will become the W.A.B. Zone. Lucky Luke City will be transformed into The SkunX Zone. The Fabulous Zone, including Turbine and FlashBack will become the Fabulous Area, themed after the Shimmeria planet that appears in the comic book from The Music Battle. The transformation will start next year and will be completed in 2016.

I hope this is not true as it should stay as original made, are the park trying to get it's reliability up changing it to LSM..? When in 2013 is it due to open..? Hope the new cars only use "Lapbars" and not OHR as this will kill the ride.
