Screaming Coasters

What I really hate about this theming is that everything feels like a pieced together facade. It feels like Chessingtons Mexicana area where all the buildings roof tops are pieced together pieces of garden fencing. It's all a bit 2-Dimentional. There's no depth or forced perspective. Just feels like a plank.
Don't like it. The theming for me is a dud. They did an amazing job with Black Mamba, an OKAY job with Chiapas and now this is just no.
The coaster itself however looks tasty and I'm looking forward to seeing a pov / eventually getting myself over to Phanny and experiencing it myself.

According to the press release, the new area breaks six world records...
· TARON is the fastest multi-launch coaster worldwide.
· In its design TARON is the longest multi-launch coaster in the world.
· TARON has the most intensive catapult drive (LSM) worldwide.
· The tracks cross over an unequalled 116 times over the layout 58 track intersections – that is a world record for a multi-launch coaster!
· The RAIK family boomerang is the fastest and longest boomerang in the world.

Finally an opening date, it feels like this has gone on for ever! Love the pics from that tweet.
What does this mean? Is it saying it's the fastest LSM acceleration?

The fastest acceleration has to do with the amount of Gs this uses as force(not sure how to properly word that), I heard. In comparison, Kingda Ka has 1.4 Gs(I think), and this has 1.6.
Bingo. Fastest acceleration has nothing to do with top speed, it's simply which one gains speed the fastest (which we enthusiasts like to measure in Gs as they're easily relatable, but scientifically is measured in m/s^2).GuyWithAStick said:

I'm pretty sure Fluch Von Novgorod currently has the fastest LSM acceleration and if my calculations are correct, that pulls 2G (but that assumes standing launch which it isn't 
).
).

They are doing a pretty good job of hiding from sight the new area. Walls are up across the 'bridge' (where you overlook Chiapas on the other side) and they don't let you get near the back-end of the area (at the back of River Quest / Mystery Castle).
Theres one big opening that they seem to have deliberately left (since it could have easily been walled off I feel) through which you can see this;
but thats about it.

I did stick my 360° camera on a stick over the wall to see if anything was interesting, not sure it was tho;
