I doubt that it is a rise. In this picture you can tell that it is a steep angle.http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=5064 Also it can't be a rise because if it was coming from the the spot where the first two pieces went on, coming down the track it would lose some speed and I doubt it would make it up that hill because that hill is going to be bigger.

Bigger Hill! Yeah, Yeah! Has to be a bigger hill! Although, I didn't expect it to be a hill right there. Anyone else think a hill would be in that spot?

The surprises begin!

I would have never guessed a hill being in that spot.

The next track in line to be put into place turns any way but up. It looks more like the top of a bunny hill. I wouldn't get too excited to see a big hill.

Well, my dear E X I T, that looks like a pretty strange & steep bunny hill. ;-)

Not to mention, the "pull out" on it is a little sharp to be coming off of a big hill. Remember, this is Intamin, not Arrow.

But I don't want it to be a bunny hop. So it's not going to be a bunny hop.

I totally agree exit, this could easily be a bunny hill like the one's on RoS, and I for one hope so. Having RoS at SFNE as my home park, I think those massive air filled hills on RoS would be a great addition to CP (they don't really have an airtime monster imo).

The more I see of the construction site, I don't see an Aquatrax as much as I see a "Rita" type ride or a "wing walker" (hopefully).

Anyone think maybe that could be going into a loop or a corkscrew??
