They actually did it.

Looks amazing. Yes the top will be slow with plenty of time for the fear to build.
 
Judgement shall be held until it can be ridden, and the inverted launch is epic but IDK this is just, to quote Hyde above, weird AF and not sure it'll really hit BUT we shall see. Regardless, kinda crazy it's happened esp as certain parks are pushing like 3 years to fully open something, here it looks nearly constructed and there's not even been an official announcement
 
I think it'll still be a great experience being launched so high, so fast and spinning. I'd rather a full circuit layout, especially as I think that could have really added to the experience when at the top.

The thing which I think is the biggest shame is that going up is just a straight track. Even one 'wrap around' the tower would have been cool, further added to the unpredictability of the spinning, and just been a bit more different.
 
I dunno... I'm quietly thinking this might be a lot better than sone people are expecting. First of all... a launched stall, while spinning? WTF?? Then there's that top bit. Yes it's weird AF, but it's gonna be slooow. Think Mandrill Mayhem at Chessington, but banked outward, and rotating, and 350ft in the air! The amount of dangle time up there could be legit terrifying. Then you'll start rolling backwards and plunge down that vertical drop, again while spinning!
Honestly, I'm beginning to think this could be an awesome ride experience. Seriously considering makng it my 'must do' for 2027.

I wonder if they will install the cars with or without the magnetic brake for the spinning, like on Time Traveler – a free spinner like Ride to Happiness would be truly crazy.
 
Idk, I keep hearing, "all while spinning," but if there's no magnetic boosters to spin the cars then one side will be looking down, while the other side looks up. Without lateral or turns, how would the cars spin?

The weight distribution is what makes it spin. Kind of the whole point of a free-spinning car. I believe the Center of Gravity on each car itself is slightly off center so it will spin regardless, but the weight of the riders will be the main weight factor.

Not to mention the top of the tower is entirely (ironically) both lateral and turning, when the train is at the top, the heavier side of the car will naturally spin towards the ground.
