If it looks anything like the released concepts, it looks pretty ugly. Also, a straight launch with a spike seems like a big waste of a coaster with spinning cars.

Just wanted to note that there was a site tour about a week ago with "Ryan" the park's PR manager in which this reddit thread talks about the details:
Main Notes:
About the layout:
Main Notes:
About the layout:
- Longer track length than Ka
- Takes up more of Lantern’s plot than Ka’s
- 50% of the footers are poured
- When asked “how tall is it,” Ryan said “tall”
- Ryan insists it is worth the wait
- Waiting to decide on the announcement until everything is locked down - they care a lot about the theme and all of the animatics being ready to go
- Getting the story of the ride right is a HUGE priority for them
- They are “not in a rush.”
- Eyeballing a Spring 2026 announcement, most likely a 2027 opening but still in flux
- An announcement date will be announced, they won’t shadow drop it
- The pavement will not be visible - it is not a parking lot coaster
- They have a 10 year plan, and the rest of Green Lantern’s plot is part of that plan

In other words, "it's tall but not that tall and if I say how tall everyone will moan"

Unless they were talking about "traveled track" because it's a shuttle coaster and you traverse the track twice

I thought we'd be through the denial phase by now
You should be into anger or bargaining by this point.

The word “spire” all but confirms the mack tower coaster right?

There was this post in another thread that included a snippet of an article on Mack's current projects, which said there is an Extreme Spinning Coaster in the works for the US for 2027. This, so far at least, seems to be the only candidate.

The Most HATED Roller Coaster EVER - The Kingda Ka Replacement (Or is it?)
Kingda Ka, once the tallest and fastest coaster on Earth, is gone — and its rumored replacement is already sparking massive backlash. Why are fans furious ov...
youtu.be
I know this video is 4 months old...but has there been any confirmation of this as a replacement for Ka?
If so...erm...

@CaliAngel Actual, direct "confirmation", no.
Has it been heavily rumored & hinted at by people with proven past 'insider' connections, yes.
Is the arrangement of footers nearly* identical to that exact layout, yes.
Has the park received shipments of supports from Mack Rides, yes.
So no. It's not "confirmed" to be that. But all signs, physical and word-of-mouth, say it's gonna be that. And it will be a wild ass ride, no doubt.
*(I say "nearly" because I didn't account for or anticipate the ride curving slightly right going into the stall, couldn't have known that at the time)
