I wouldn't call it "mini". It's a nice site. Kinda late IMO, but better late than never! It looks nice, thanks for sharing.

It also seems to appear the queue will go THROUGH the keyhole element!

Sweet! I didn't know it was going to have this element. I wonder if some people will get a little wet? What do you all think?
Re: X-Flight Discussion Thread
^It looks to me like people in the back right seats will definately get a bit wet, maybe even in the middle on the right

Wow thanks for posting those vids Tom, it takes that in-line roll much faster then I had expected X-flight looks to be the best of the 4 Wingriders imo.

Re: X-Flight Discussion Thread
I agree Rob. This looks like it will be the most forceful of all of them. Can't wait to see the ride reviews and POV videos. What interests me the most is the ride experience of the outer seats over time during those forceful elements.

I think it's the best looking and most forceful of all the wing-riders and I'm loven it.

Glad we're all on the same train, now if we only lived closer to the park to experience it first hand.

Re: X-Flight Discussion Thread
IMO the only reason Wild Eagle was getting so much lip service was b/c it's at Dollywood. I'm not saying it isn't a good ride but come on if you take the wingrider trains off of it, it would be your standard B&M floorless coaster. There is nothing unique or original about WE besides the trains, I'm not saying that's a bad thing just stating the facts.
I have always said X-flight looks to be the best and those videos are proving me right. It's like B&M said this one is going to Six Flags we have to turn it up a notch lol. I just know X-flight looks to have much more kick then the others that have debuted so far. Also SFGAm has done a great job
of theming and making the area looks great.

You are not the only one. ;D

Nope. We are definitely all on the same page, and think great minds do think alike.
