I can't understand why Cedar Point keeps building huge coasters every year, even though many other big parks are nearby.. :\
This is certainly going to be a GIGANTIC ride, would it make any sense to build that kind of supports otherwise?[:P]

There's some guesses about the rides possible layout on Screamscape.

errr it collapsed ? I think maybe it is down for a few hours or something. But this coaster must be extremely speedy, if you look at the track angle you can see it must have an enourmous speed. I think this ride will reach about 200 km/h with a height of 100 meters. I saw some track elements on the parking wich look like exact copies of the Xcelerator launch segments.

This ride is gonna be wicked

By the way if your curious, this is probably going to be the layout with the follwing stats: 330 feet (110 meter) and 120 mp/h (190 km/h)

Note this probabaly won't be the real layout, it is just a rough drawing of a fan I think the coaster will even get higher and speedyer because a record like this would be beaten in no time. Could be wrong but we'll see. I just put on my faith in CP and intamin

Wow, I really wish it could be like this.. One thing though, the Gs would kill you in the final part when comparing to the Tophat (if I'm right) It just can't be that long..

Let's hope, that Werner Stengel would have realised why S&S coasters are so good.

Cool your right, but it seems to be a bit lower then it currently is. But everyone already expected it to be a top hat. But it's cool you noticed it.

Hey guys this coaster will have some sort of twist on the way going up.Have a look at this picture
http://www.virtualmidway.com/popup/myst ... Attraction This means it will have an inverted tophot or a twist.My geuss is that it will have a 270 twist then onto the tophat.
