Wow, I didn’t even think of that 😀 This thing could be seriously intense! unless they had dummies in the trains when they filmed this thing.
It was cool seeing this built though, because this is the only ride I’ve really followed throughout its entire construction, I even got to walk the track once!

They never planned not to open it.  But when you are building a ride from scratch with no outside help, obviously you are going to run into some bumps.  And I do believe the speed is the problem. The video was recorded by a camera mounted directly onto the chasis.  Imagine if the seats and riders were added.  The added weight may cause the ride to go even faster!
