TBH I wouldn't be surprised if neither was the first to use tri-rail track. It was probably some random company like Pax.

It doesn't even look like it's hitting any water on the first drop during testing, and it still barely makes it round!
Still, this looks kinda fun! The first drop will be great I'm sure, and the rest just an added extra, even if it's a bit pointless.
I see it as less of a coaster and more of a big Tidal Wave.

It looks terrible, the drop looks stupid, it barely makes it around and that's even without the first splash which will take away momentum... You see testing videos crawl around quite often but this is just ridiculous...
Just seems utterly terrible and pointless for the park...

Looks alright! It is slow near the end but I am sure it'll pick up.

I think it looks awful..... The drop looks ridiculous, if they wanted a big first drop, why didn't they make it steeper than going for the long timid descent track.
And yeah, the speed may pick up during the year, but most probably by not much.
It looks poor.... From the park that brought us Ispeed, I'm dissapointed...

I quite like the look of it. It's different.
The first part up until the mcbr looks to be at a nice speed, but afterwards it looks painfully slow.
Remember this isn't supposed to be the most thrilling ride ever, but for the tallest water ride be glad there is something more than just a drop.

Ignoring everything else for a moment, I don't think anyone can disagree that Intamin's lift system on these rides is a thing of beauty.

This ride looks poor.
I am hoping that once it is landscaped and themed, it will fit into the area quite nicely, but in my opinion it just looks ugly. And a very poor ride. Such a shame when it is surrounded by the likes of Katun, iSpeed and Reset Anno Zero.

Ahh! 
Forgot the terrible test videos before! The amount of speed it seems to have picked up is extraordinary. I can't remember ever seeing such a speed difference in a coaster!
It now looks like there'll be a huge dose of airtime on the first hill after the drop. What before looked boring and meandering, now looks thrilling and pacey.

Look at the speeds it's knocking those boats out!
If they can dispatch quick enough, this could be a throughput beast.

Oh god... Let's hope that's not the final product. Because it looks absolutely hideous! Those pools need a clear out for starters!
And I'm still not convinced on the actual coaster tbh.. Still looks slow and boring to me..

Looks a little faster than I was expecting. What's the purpose of the outside rails after the first splashdown? Support?

It is quite neat - I think Holiday World was the first park to receive it with their Pilgrim's Plunge;.Will wrote: What a nifty lift idea, I really like that.
The coaster section looks more impressive that the water ride section - i'm guessing there is no/minimal splashing on the first splashdown as opposed to getting soaked on the second?
