Re: SFDK | Superman Ultimate Flight|Premier Rides launch coa
Thats the vid i have been watching. You dont see the train going up the vertical turnaround, just being launched all the way up the non-inverting loop. The tree could be blocking it, (or he could have missed the first lauch and only nabbed the reverse launch) but I would guess it would become visible during the first forward launch as it would still have to go up at least 1/4 - 1/3 of the way up before going backwards.
My guess anyway.

To be totally honest, the height it gets on the reverse is highly unlikely to be a backwards launch. The actual "Launch section" isn't actually that large at all, so to be able to get the speed it is at in the video on the reverse part, it must have had an extra push from a previous launch (forwards).
Plus, the promotional material and all as we have heard about the coaster state a forward launch, no backwards initial launch has been mentioned at all.

I'm not sure if this is what you guys are wondering, but I'm pretty sure it goes like this. (This is basically like Ethan said)
1st launch: barley even do anything move 10 feet if that
2nd launch: backwards out of the station almost going over the hill( at 0:40 in the video)
3rd launch: propels it out of the station to complete the circuit and is then slowed down and eventually stopped by the LIMs
Thoughts?

^ & ^^ LSMs both of you, LIMs can't act as brakes while LSMs can have their polarization reversed to become eddy current brakes, LIMs can only accelerate a train in one direction.

If you look at this video and pause it at 0:00 (so even before the first second) you can barely see the train through the bars of the fence and the trees. When you pause it again at 0:01 you see it's gone. So you have to be very quick, because it is only visible for a split second. (watch it on youtube for a larger screen, to make it a little easier)

This looks utterly fab, and that really doesnt go up as high as I thought it would have for the initial launch.
Regardless, I will hopefully be getting this credit come the endnof the year <3

Thankfully it takes the inversion faster than in the promo. This looks like a fun, unique coaster.
