Not only is it the fastest coaster in the world, but it also runs right alongside a real F1 track. I'm sure many of you have seen this on other coaster sites, but I figured I would make a post about it here. Thoughts?

| These days, very fast! In the future, I would guess even faster : P
Looks like it's not a continuous 134, but for a few seconds and then it drops down. |

| What amazed me was that this didn't utilize a large tower like Top Thrill and Kingda Ka. Going from 0-130-some mph starting off a ride of this type amazes me what they can do when it comes to coaster construction. |

| That's what caught my eye - it goes through almost like a non- looping cobra roll. It's amazing what they did, like you said. It's not even in an amusement park - it's alongside a racing track. It suppose to let people feel what its like to be in an f1 racer. |

| Perhaps an amusement/theme park would pick up on the concept one of these days. |

| Quite possibly, but I haven't looked at any aerials to see if there is room.. |

I'm not going to post an aerial image, but if you look up Nurburgring on Google Maps or Earth or whatever, you can see an aerial image. From where I think the coaster is, there is a hotel and parking lots and other structures to where an amusement park could go, and also an f1 track. But, I do see some wooded areas that aren't developed just past the hotel.
