BleauxJays looks like you were spot on with the crane.

Is it just me or does the brake run have a much more noticeable slope leading up to the drive tires?

I thought the same thing. Looks much steeper.

Love that head chop affect were gonna get entering the station after the spike!


That there Clark is an RV.....

The angles we see these rides in pictures play tricks on us. There are some floating around of Maverick’s track in the launch tunnel and the angle is crazy to see because it is unnoticeable when you’re riding it.

I wasn't thinking as a ride experience element. I remember discussion that the flat brake run impacted cycle times. If they increased that brake run, even a bit, I imagine that could help if a train is empty or slow.

The brake run angle looks identical to the original.

One observation: will the switch track be on an incline? I'm assuming it would have to be, as the entire launch track is on an incline.

I don't think so? Original TTD's transfer track was flat and the switch track is pretty much in that same location right?
