The coaster is opening today and POVs have started to appear, looks like a nice little addition.

Looks like a really fun ride - love the lightning effects on it!

I thought the second loop was going to use a station bypass? But this one seemed to just go through the station again, which is a much less exciting experience

As far as I can tell from the POV, DarKoaster does use a station bypass.

It does, that's like the entire gimmick of the ride. The bypass is at 2:18 in the POV above, the station is behind the wall on the right side.

Rode it a second time today. Capacity is trash, but the ride is fun enough. Ride broke down right before I got on, but the shutdown didn't take too long to fix.

Effects inside are still pretty minimal. Would be nice if they could add audio cues from the original ride.

Still no preshow.

I'll only wait for it because it's brand new.
