This seems like such a waste of money - what does it add ?

You'll have to ride it when it opens and find out

[Dean Barnett]

Yeah fair. I’d much prefer a spike with quick switch track 😕

But remember this is a family coaster that's target market is from young kids to grandparents. A spike and quick track isn't usually an element that would suit this type of coaster.

What would you consider Hagrid’s at USO to be? Widely regarded as a family coaster and has a spike w a switch track…

[Dean Barnett]

Yes correct - Hagride is a family coaster and features a spike with a quick switch track.

Hagrids has a 122cm limit, New Vekoma family coasters (Eg Big Bear Mountain) have a 100cm height limit, so they are different markets.

I know it's only a concept artwork and we can't use that to confirm anything, but the concept artwork for Jungle Rush showed the train that was very similar to the one of Big Bear Mountain. So I suspect it will be very similar, if not the same.

Leviathan also has a 122cm minimum requirement and the park was originally marketing it as a family coaster. But I'm not seeing kids riding that with their grandparents.
