That certainly does look like it's got a little "hop" to it. Pleasant surprise there! Cannot wait to see that top hat go up

The drop looks not to be vertical based on the supports. Maybe it won’t have a holding brake after all?

non-vertical stop w/o trims >> vertical (or beyond-) w trims. more airtime at the top, more airtime on the way down. everyone wins.

There was never going to be a holding break, from what I've heard.

No one's ridden the Intamin top hat stall brake yet, so we have yet to see how it rides. It's not a complete stop, and I think it could be really intense.

I love how the ride is still full of nice surprises.

I love how both the first and second half of this coaster would still make a good coaster on their own.

Will the top hat be completed this week?

I love how Universal is taking the Phantasialand kind of approach with this project.

Let's pretend nothing is happening and let the enthusiasts do our job promoting our attractions on social media.

For one, I like not knowing a lot, and just getting surprised at every new stage of construction.

I'm actually getting more excited for this than I am for Iron Gwazi! I feel is if this ride is gonna have more going for it and of course theming!

 

[Antinos]

Will the top hat be completed this week?

Yes, but also no, simultaneously.

 

[Matt N]

Yes, but also no, simultaneously.

How does that work? Is it that the track will be completed, but they’re adding theming?

 

[bernatc22]

it's the schrödinger tophat.

I think what he means is how in the world are we meant to know? None of us are in the construction team or work inside universal... So any answer would be a guess.

I mean what do you expect to be the answer really?

The First half of this Blitz coaster looks as if it's going to be indoors...? Second half of this Blitz coaster is going to be outdoors!

The only indoor parts will be the station and the show room section just at the first launch

Was not expecting this project to be so awesome until it started going up.
