Mack sure like their blue! Does look good though.

[Simba]

That's obviously because Mack's blue is epic!
I am really excited that Mack are starting to do more thrilling rides with inversions for more older age groups.
I have just realised this will be the second Mack Rides coaster to go upside down!
Anyway on a side note I really hope Thorpe's 2015 coaster is a Mack!

The blue does look brilliant and the heartline roll at the end is so randomly placed. Doesn't need to be there at all.

I wished they would think of a better name. "The Storm" isn't really a creative name and is very bland.

[Simba]

The heartline roll at the end looks fantastic!

[Thekingin64]

Oh wow! For a randomly placed roll, that looks amazing. XYZ, it is a very generic name but I like it.

[Simba]

Also the bunny hop into that Heartline roll will be fun!
Anyway another picture has been uploaded onto their Facebook page:

I would beg, Merlin to install one of these at Thorpe or Chessington, however I think Chessington needs one of these more than Thorpe at the moment.

[Thekingin64]

I read somewhere that Chessington has very strict noise and height limits so one of these probably won't pop up there for a while.
