Overbanked Turn Record

I was checking out the Xcelerator updates over at Westcoaster, and I'm wondering. Does anybody know if Millennium Force still has the record for the steepest non-inverted turn at 122° or does Xcelerator beat it out? (I haven't found the Xcelerator specs for the overbanks)

Now that the track is complete, I think it's safe to say that none of the turns on Xcelerator top that insane turn on MF after the lift.

Yea I rode MF I thing overbanked turns are preatty cool the first time I went through one was the 110 degree overbanked cuvre on the Tenn Tornado (I think it had the record before MF did the first time I rode it was in fall of 99). I didn't get to ride Millie until last year and I thoought the 122 banked curve was awesome. I hope to see mmore of these built on coasters soon.

How many sea gulls is there at CP?

Most new Intamin built/designed coasters have these "overbanked" turns. Xcelerator, Millennium Force, Superman: Ride of Steel, all have these overbanked turns. I would imagine any new Intamin sit-down coasters to come will have these.

...and even the new overbanked hills. They look so sweet!
