Yes! That would be awesome!

So for the footage I'm recording on Thursday, I'll be editing it, and if you guys want I can give the video to whoever runs the CoasterCrazy YouTube Channel. If not I'll just upload it to my account.

FIRST LOOPING WOODEN FLYING WING COASTER!!!

I do a lot of stuff with the cc YouTube, you can pm me

Can somebody please explain what the actual love I'm looking at here?

I'm starting to believe quite strongly that this is some sort of water ride/coaster hybrid.

that's what my wife thinks. that it will be some sort of coaster with several water elements to it like splashdowns.

No, I'm thinking something more than that...like imagine you board the coaster train, which is locked into a boat, you go through a rapids section, then the boat docks with a launch track...

That would probably be around $35-50 Million..

Interesting idea, could see it happening too. They are advertising a "First of its kind" ride

If it launches, I hope it's cable free.

Not even for a return to the stone ages with a weight drop launch?

Complete magnetized launch. Like Maurer Sohne does.

I hope it's LSM instead of LIM, cause in my opinion, LSM rides don't go down as much as LIM rides.

Weather will be a huge issue on an LSM in Indiana though.

^^That's definitely a fact, not an opinion.

^I don't see why, the weather in Indiana isn't really different compared to Ohio and in fact Cedar Point probably sees worse weather. Maverick uses LSMs and it's perfectly fine.

Log fume ride? Like shoot the rapids? Pilgrims plunge? Those cost a pretty penny. Haha!
Suspended B&M? Those are always popular, and fun, but never extreme.

Yea, I can already tell that this will be a one of kind ride, and it'll also be a one of a kind ride in terms of how much downtime it is going to have
