God, this is possibly the most confusing coaster teaser campaign ever! I honestly don't know what to expect from this now!

When is it to be announced, out of interest?

I personally think it genius. Whoever is doing the PR for this certainly knows how to tease the enthusiasts.

The obvious guess with the number 9 would be airtime moments. But someone suggested on another board that KW wanted a record breaker with their original. So 9 could be inversions which would be the most in the US. I'm planning a trip there sunday and I will see if I can get any pictures that haven't been circulating yet.

Oh yes, of course. I was only wondering if it had changed because of the early number reveals. Thanks @Pokemaniac!

To be fair, he does like almost everything.

I was wondering how long it would be before someone commented on that! I'm just very easily pleased!

-3 trains w/ 8 people per train (hence the 24)
-197 foot tall lift
-220 foot tall drop
-3 moments of airtime
-120 second ride
-75mph
-9 inversions

think of it as an "east coast cannibal"

I did hear a rumor of a giant El Loco a while ago but I kind of dismissed it, the speculation above would fit in with the ride system, if a bit low capacity for the park. And that would be dreadful because they have some of the worst ops I’ve seen.

don't you ever try and challenge kennywood to lower the capacity of a ride because they will take trains off that thing like it's nobody's business

 

[Peet]

You guys are so pessimistic with your numbers, how about:

- 24 inversions
- 197 mph top speed
- 220 foot tall loop
- 120 seconds of airtime
- 9 lift hills
- 3 laps for each ride

I mean, nobody has any idea so why not go crazy

 

[CrashCoaster]

Nah, that's too basic. How about:-

• 197 inversions
• 24 miles per second speed
• 9 jump tracks
• 220 launches
• 9 km tall
• 3 AU length

Wait, for a second I thought you was explaining Galactica because that sounds awfully familiar.

I actually thought he was explaining a Volare.

This is very.. interesting. Kennywood is making this a fun one aren't they. Well it's a coaster.. lol

 

[Matt N]

I know that we essentially know it's a coaster, but have Kennywood ever officially confirmed that it's going to be a coaster?

 

[Jstanich]

No. They’ve never actually confirmed that’s it’s a coaster
