Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble finding the 8 air-time hills. To me, it looks like four, plus a few highly banked turns. I can't recall getting air-time on a curve.
8 moments of "air" time:
1) 1st drop
2) hill before inversions
3) hill after tunnel
4) heartline roll
5) hill over tunnel/under 1st drop
6) Stengle dive
7) bunny hill
8) pop-up onto brake run

I think Im most looking forward to the drop... I can assume that the train will have a decent amount of speed (~20-30 mph) at the top of the LSM lift, and with the drop being beyond vertical, you should be out of your seat for that whole drop... Good Times..

Hhhm. I just think it'll be fun- which is okay by me. I'm sure they're not lying about the 8 airtime hills.
"THE Top Thrill Dragster...THE Millennium Force...THE Wicked Twister...THE Magnum! How do you like those apples?!?!?"
I agree that they probably mean 8 times you will experience weightless ness, not 8 bunny hills. No matter how many, I'm sure it will be fun like they say.

They should have three T-bar trains and three OTSR trains. People who can't fit in the T-bar trains or don't feel "safe" in them, can ride the OTSR trains. Have a line like Power Tower that splits for each side. :)
I'd get in the OTSR line more often simply due to the ride being a walkon rather than a hour and a half wait for the other side. :-P
I don't see the problem I guess that everyone else sees with Intamin's OTSRs. I'm a very large framed guy (6'2" - 265 lbs. with big shoulders and chest) and even I had room in the OTSRs on KK and SR. On even an average sized adult, it's not like you're going to be restricted or stapled into the ride like say an SLC. And since there is more room in the restraint it's not a real headbanger either.
I never saw anyone complain about the restraints. The only thing I heard was compliments about it.

Arguing with a coaster enthusiast is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After a while, you realize the pig enjoys it.
I don't mind the restraints half as much as the fact Cedar Point mislead us by saying the ride has 8 air-time hills. We never got the 8 air-time hills. We never got the t-bar restraints. We never got the 500 foot drop. We never got the aquatrax. We never got the 14 loop coaster. We never got a floorless coaster. In short, we were mislead.
On the other hand, I guess we were not mislead after all.
