How could you call the air-time on this tame. Looking at the first and second hills especially, it looks as if there's at least -0.5G (the second hill definitely looks very fast on the POV's), however, the rest of the hills have too high a radii- and they're all the twisted hills. These provide nowhere near as much airtime, and instead, are just as high as normal 180 degree transitions. The overbank after the second hill looks incredible- although after that- the ride looks very forceless and boring. Mack playing it much too safe. Until the heartline roll, of course, which provides the killer air, the ride loses much of it's original pace.
And I don't know about anyone else, but I can see a lot of pumps in the track- and even some fairly poor banking. Still quite a way behind Intamin, in terms of track.

That is what Mack build.

Two questions, where the hell did you pull those numbers from and why do you think that common NoLimits terms even remotely apply to real life? Have you ever ridden one of the new Mack megacoasters??

That's the logic I'm using. I haven't watched a POV (even a virtual one) so I'm only guessing, but I don't expect Inatmin style ejector airtime from Mack. If this is in any way similar to the pacing of Blue Fire there won't be a lot of airtime but the corners will be fairly high G.

DIVERTIMENTO!!
I like it, have absolutely no clue what it all means, except maybe...
