So the Saudis are making RollerCoaster Tycoon rides in real life now, eh?

This was 5+ years in development and probably cost more than building an entire theme park in the US.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

I’m I supposed to be impressed?

I’m clearly not

Recrudescence

You should be.

That thing is INTENSE. And long. And fast. Like, you can't really grasp how fast it's going from the video, but that whole last section is probably 100 MPH+ until it starts hitting the braking sections.

Just because you don't go upside down doesn't take a thing away from it being the most extreme roller coaster ever made.

I wouldn't go to Saudi Arabia just to ride it, but if I were there for something else, it would be at the top of my bucket list.

I think I ramped up my expectations too far

Seems like that's just an extra long version of the Demon or the Shockwave, with some fireworks and mood lighting. And without any loops!

I was half-expecting there to be a full-on track jump or something.

strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime

I think it’s a) that it’s built around a mountain, and b) currently holds the top 3 records…

for being the tallest, longest, and fastest coaster in the world.

It seems a little crazier from a speed standpoint watching this POV video, those turbo boost stretches look pretty intense.

I’d rather be murdered and dismembered than listen to those two talk any longer. *
