I just want to add my 2 cents to this question. It has been said before that the radius we see here is pretty huge even for a 420 foot drop. Could it be that this radius is this big to control the g forces from the speed it would take to launch a train up to 420 feet? Not to mention the speed it would take to safely make it through an (gulp!) inverted tophat. Does anyone know if it would take more speed to make it through a smaller radius? I would think it would because of the extra g forces and added friction which would make a smaller radius even worse. This looks like it is taking all of 200 feet to reach 90 degrees which would be almost half way up. It's pretty typical of CP to emphisis the drop more than the climb. I would think (at least hope) the pull-out would be a smaller radius to get the most out of the 400+ foot drop.

I'm nearly ceratin that it will be the pullout.

Now that I look at the web cam (something I haven't done in a while) I see that we have both sides up already and they both look to be the same radius. This makes my entire last statement completely unnecessary. I now agree with a previous post that said the side with the alternatine red/white track should be the up side for effect.

Both sides look the exactly the same to me.
