Here is clip 2 of the current teaser videos. This portion of the layout is heading back towards the station. So we still do not get to see what (if any) inversions there are between the 1st clip and this one.

I've done a little MS paint work since the first video came out. The orange section on this diagram of the layout is the first video, and the yellow section is the second video. There's a TON that hasn't been shown yet, including all three of the rumored inversions (apparently two barrel rolls and a corkscrew). They are certainly revealing the "not as juicy" parts first to pique interest by the 5th week. I still maintain that this has been the most brilliant marketing strategy for a new ride that I've ever seen.

^^I'm thinking about moving to those apartments when I move to Tampa next Summer...lol

EDIT: and no that is not the TRUTH @TrojanCamMan. I wouldn't give this ride the time of day if it were one of those...lmfao

I tried!

I think the "video marketing" is going to be the next big thing now. Holiday World, Gardaland, and other parks are all making videos to hint to their new attractions. I think its very clever. Maybe Carowinds will use this technique in the future...

Here is clip # 3 unlocked today:

All I can say is...WOW!!!!!!!

[TrojanCamMan]

Wow. I love coasters, but that almost looks scary. Haha! Awesome.

[CoasterDad]

No doubt, a coaster to look forward to riding, over, and over, and over...

Looks pretty nice.... how oftern do you think it will be broken down Intaming + multiple launch = maintainence nightmare.... Still looks pretty awesome, given it doesnt have any problems...highly unlikely....

[cwgator]

^^They are using LSM/LIM so I doubt there will be many issues with the launches. It's the hydraulic cable launches they seem to have issues with...lol If there are any issues, I'm sure they will be taken care of swiftly.

^Maverick had a pretty good deal of issues with their launches early on when it first opened, but they've since worked the kinks out rather well. The biggest problem they had was the launched lift hill (I actually got stuck at the bottom of the lift hill for a good 15-20 minutes the first time I rode it on opening day). It's always interesting to see which launched coasters have problems and which ones don't.

[Edwardo]

I wonder, was that a problem with the acutal LSMs, or with the sensors, since there are so many blocks in the station/bottom of lift/lift section? Heck, tons of problems with TTD and Ka (aside from the cable breakage) is with the actual sensors.

From the videos so far, it doesn't "appear" to be very tall. I am guessing the tallest point will be around 150ft. Looks interesting though.

[Skycoastin Steve]

^Maverick is 105 feet tall and is my #3 steel. Size doesn't always matter, no matter what women say.

[cwgator]

If I were to guess the height, I would have to say between 95-110 feet tall. The area where this tower is going is going to be an awesome view for the spectators below as the trains lauch up into it. This is definitely going to be a great photo taking coaster (off-ride of course) because of it's location in the park. I just hope it doesn't scare the Chimpanzees and Gorilas in The Myombe Reserve as it's in close proximity across from where the tower is. I'm assuming the trenches assist not only in theming, but to absorb some of the sound from the multiple launches in them as well.
