If you have been reading this site for a while it is pretty obvious that I have never been a huge SLC fan.  What has me really intrigued about this coaster is the rides finale.

 Instead of the awkward "bunny hop" ending that most other SLC's have this one has a ground hugging helix which should be quite fun.

The other thing that should make this coaster worlds better than most of its brethren is the replacement of the over the shoulder harnesses with a lap bar and vests that hold you in.
