OK, eveybody. I love coaster it doesn't matter what kind it is. I know there some B&M haters, but I think this is a great one in the making. So, let it out. Hate it or love it, speak out. Here's some official links.

It will be great!  All these new B&M Hypers are great.  This one looks to have some signature moves that will seperate it from the others though... All I can say "That second hill/drop looks sooooo wicked!"
