Hmmm, I’m not aware of any flying felines, but I suppose they could be going with a fantasy theme.

I do think the loop in the sky should confirm this is a coaster. It’s possibly unintentional but they seem savvy enough not to do that.

In my (uninformed) opinion, those expecting a coaster should prepare to be disappointed. All they have said is "new ride", not even "major new ride" let alone any hint at a rollercoaster.
This seems the most likely to me.

I think I'm also predicting an Air Race at this point, or a Gerstlauer Sky Fly/Roller. I am perhaps leaning towards a Sky Roller since they made a big deal about the fact the Skyline will look much different, which makes me think Sky Roller since they are essentially tower rides of a reasonable height. Either that or a Super Air Race imo.

Perhaps a new Vekoma model?

I hope it is a new Vekoma STC, ass I have ridden Hals-über-Kopf and it was realy great/smooth suspended coaster with 2 airtime moments and 4 inversions, a park like silverwood would realy benefit of a larger coaster like that for the whole family.

Starting to think this could be something more substantial than a flat ride.

RMC RAPTOR!
Looks to be a RailBlazer clone! That's like 5 new Raptors that know of.
Will be called Stunt Pilot and themed to plane aerobatics!

I don’t mind these at most parks. Wonder Woman is a top 10 steel for me.
Moved to Construction, then.

There were pretty clear indications this would be a coaster. Glad I was right. Being an enthusiast, I have made it down to ride Railblazer, but I’m so excited for the Pacific Northwest to be getting a modern steel coaster like this. The vast majority of people going to Silverwood will have never even heard of the other raptor clones, let alone ridden one. This is going to be a massive hit.

Hahaha well when you're wrong you're wrong! Great news that the world is getting another one of these, I just hope Europe catches on.

Something interesting, the park's marketing director has confirmed the coaster will run two TEN car trains! He specifically states the trains have been extended on this model for capacity... But holy **** the forces in the back...

In the article @CrashCoaster linked the marketing director mentions that the shaping has been adjusted to accommodate the 2 extra rows so I'd say it should feel about the same as Railblazer.
