I can't see what the hype of this roller coaster is. It doesn't go upside down, and it doesn't look like it does much airtime. Is it the fact that Universal is building it, and people are just in awe because it's Universal? On top of that, they have a pretty unexperienced company with this type of ride building it. This company is known more for mice coasters.

Johnnyupsidedown.com posted a really neat overall construction pic. Take a look:

I'm sorry, maybe my old and tired eyes are deceiving me, but is that a corkscrew inside the loop?!

I dunno, i think that ride looks pretty great, actually. It's all about speed right? And it's Universal Orlando, i pretty much trust their judgment when it comes to their roller coasters, i know i didn't ride a poor one when I was there.

This is kind of cool to see these rides shaping up because when we were there it was just a bunch of dug out dirt with some footers. LOL, i did actually get a picture of that through the mesh.

Look at the radical moves on that thing! Very interesting layout, kind of stretched like an out and back. It should be a wonderful addition to the park. I hope it comes west, but not in a compact version a la Mummy. The Hollywood version is so-so; the Florida one so good.

I am going up to Universal this weekend to renew my passes, just so I can ride this thing. (great picture e-tap, this it the first picture I have seen where you can see the whole coaster) I have been on a few coasters, but this one looks so much different than anything I have been on, I am dying to give it a try.

That loop thingy is gonna be insane! Talk about pushing the new X-Cars to their limits. I definitely have to make it to Florida someday to try all their insane coasters!

I know, I wish florida wasn't 3000 miles away, I'd hop a plane just for the weekend to go on that bad boy!! that looks like it's going to be so cool. That "loop" is bad ass. Wylder, I expect a full report when it finally opens.

Wazomike: From most comparisons I've heard, Orlando's is better. I've been on Orlando's and it's great but I haven't been on Hollywood's so I couldn't give a fair judgement. But most of the time I do here it's better by a long shot.

Wylder: Yea, this pic is awsome! I've been impatiently waiting for an overal pic of the layout. Let us know how the ride is! I'm for sure going in May!

Shannon: lol that sounds like a great idea! But seriously that loop is bad ass lol. I really can't even imagine how it would feel to go through that element.
