Any more off-topic or inflammatory posts will be deleted. I will clean up this thread later tonight when I have time. The whole last page is just nonsense because someone got worked up over one little post. I expect better discourse from everyone here.
ANYWAY, back to business: got to see the ride myself today for the first time, and hot damn I'm impressed. The drop is indeed stunning. 160ft at least and definitely 81 degrees. It looks like there will be a high speed, fairly low, overbanked turnaround right after the drop swooshing past hobo junction and curving around either back over the base of the drop or through the lift hill. It's hard to tell so far, but I'll be back tomorrow to look again. I didn't see the tunnel myself yet, not that I doubt it's existence, but it's really hard to see past the drop area.
