is that downdraft or cascade? i'm thinking its cascade as downdraft comes out before DD flattens out.

either way, there is a pretty good pitch to both of those.

Yea that's my guess too. Either Cascade or Escapade.

Yup. Cascade is under the Gondola and Double Dipper is under the Canyon Quad.

I actually like Cascade better because the dog leg left makes it a bit more interesting, but the steep part on Downdraft is pretty fun too. Good place to find those "VW" moguls.

I like downdraft more because it's narrower.

Also, you could possibly confuse that picture with the lower dogleg part of Cascade, I had to stare at it w while, THere's no K1 on that piece, but the trees are wrong on the right. Lower cascade opens up on the right earlier
