Glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking the same, it looks tight (in a good way).

Is there even enough room to raise your hands?

That tunnel looks like the ultimate head chopper.... Jesus.

From the looks of the photos on the front page you won't be able to lift your hands too far out of the restraints similar to what skyrider was. Now that I found a photo of another dive coaster I think there should be ample room, as they have to know people will put there hands up. I know I will as Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point tells you all the time not too and we still do ;p

Those are the old B&M restraints. They changed them a couple years ago for some reason. These are what the new ones look like. After riding Valravn and Gatekeeper with them, I find it very comfortable...but you can't extend your arms out like TTD

Cool! Thanks, did not know that.

The tunnel should be glass.

The coaster is going 80mph down a hole. That's fast enough not to catch a glimpse of everything. Not to mention how murky the water is/ how much maintenance it will be to make sure the glass doesn't break, leak, grow algae... and how much will the glass withstand from temperatures ranging from -25 to +40 until needing to be completely redone?

Lift hill almost complete:

It would be great if Yukon Striker's tunnel resembles this:

It would help make Yukon Striker worthy of memes (and no shortage of free marketing for Wonderland).

Interestingly enough, the video below references the above coaster as an inspiration for Yukon Striker's tunnel:

(jump to the 4:06 mark for the section about the Japanese roller coaster and the reference to Yukon Striker)

Latest look at the construction progress. The track for the drop has almost been fully installed:

Drop is mostly complete and the largest column is now up. From Director of Communications Grace Peacock:

Same! I'm JACKED for this coaster. Might have to get a season pass for the first time since Leviathan opened.
