well, much to my surprise, this new coaster will definitely be a launch. i was at KD yesterday and spent some time examing the track. there were quite a few sections with the most immense structure ive ever seen. it makes intamins previous box track look like a bunch of tooth picks. after looking a bit more closely at these parts, there is a launch trough running down the middle of them. so now we know its another hydraulic coaster. but the huge track makes me think that maybe we will see a wing rider, which id be thrilled about!
thoughts?
I know it doesn't seem possible, however it's a giga. Now you might be on to something with the *Special* Lift System... However, it won't be a launch though. Also, about an hour ago, the lift crest was placed on site.

^No Doubt. However, I think you were partially right with the HUGE lift track designed for this coaster. I think we might see a new sophisticated cable system for this one; something that'll make Millennium's cable system look ancient (just a prediction ). _________________ Doug Barnes

Oh man, I'm sorry guy's. I should of look at the link source site. This video is a fake. I got to give it to them it's a pretty well done one. Screamscape has done a check and posted it as a fake. Sorry E tapley0687 I didn't mean to mislead here. It look real too me.

Hmmm at 0:20 in the background behind the elevator observation tower there's a structure that resembles something like TTD and KK. I haven't been keeping up with this much but now this makes me want to look more into what's going on... _________________
Although Im not sure why parks to utilize viral videos like this one. This one had the enthusiast community all hyped up for a little bit. I just think that parks need to play the game a little more. I like what CP did when they were building Maverick. Tony & Tyler kept dishing out little hints in the blog, there were signs around the construction site and little peep holes in the fence.
It got everyone talking about it over a year before the ride even opened. and got them a lot of very cheap advertisement via word of mouth. _________________ 71 Days, 43 Parks, 293 Coasters, 1 Epic Summer
