I disagree. The breaks on the cliff edge really add to the thrill I'm sure and make that 10 times more scary as you can truly appreciate just how high you are and also take in the views a bit too before you drop.

A lack of speed isn't an issue as it generates more than enough from a standing still start.

Still can't quite believe this thing is real. It's utterly bonkers.

I agree, lots of anticipation building. Wonder if it's a giant brake block of sorts too? Will be interesting to see how many trains can operate. Considering the ride time is over 3 minutes, the throughput has potential to be rather dismal...

I've noticed through the POV that it has a dual load station, so that should help to an extent.
 
It'll be the same style as GCE and Toutatis with it being fins I would imagine. You don't want something stuck on a block like that.

"6 trains with four cars. Riders are arranged 2 across in 7 rows for a total of 14 riders per train" according to whoever made the Wikipedia article for it.

Seems like it should be plenty but always depends on the station staff doesn't it.

The lead car only has one row, in case anyone is confused.
 
I wonder whether the park will modify their opening hours after everything beds in a bit. 4pm-midnight with a current sunset of 5.15pm in Riyadh means almost everything is going to be a night ride. I guess even in summer, sunset is still only like 630-7pm over there too so it will be interesting to see if at least in summer they hold off opening the ride until dusk so the wheels etc don't get too warm.
