What about a giga coaster tag? I was saying the tag says "MC", as in "Mega Coaster". I was guessing that since the park already has a 230' Mega coaster, maybe this is a 300' Mega coaster.

B&M has a height limit of 280ft. Also, another B&M mega/giga would be odd for this park.

My bet is on a floorless or Invert. I don't know near enough about the track B&M uses to assume it's one or the other.

It's most likely not an invert because of the ties. The ties are curved on the top and bottom because the forces on the rails pull them AWAY from the spine.

With that said, it's definitely a sit-down, and the spine isn't big enough to be a Dive Machine. A Diver's spine is normally 6 bolts x 8 bolts, and this track is 5 bolts x 6 bolts.

Everything else is uncertain. MC was the tag used for Diamondback and Intimidator, but adding another hyper is just a silly idea.

I've heard it from multiple people. I don't know if it's true, but it does sound like B&M (considering they don't do launches either).

I'm hoping for a floorless. Those things are badass and they havent made any for a while.

Does anyone maybe have an aerial shot of that park of the park with maybe labels of footers or anything like that?

A guy from B&M said in an interview that launches aren't totally out of the question. And all this height stuff is bullsh*t. B&M can and will build a 300 footer and hopefully it will be this year an announced in 3 days :)

Anyways, back on topic, really saddened at the color scheme for this. I heard somewhere that this would not be the only park to get the installment. So perhaps the B&m ride in tennessee is getting the same type?

[pessimist]I bet this world record won't mean anything and it will only disappoint in that aspect (though it may still be a good ride).[/pessimist]

If it breaks a record, it'd probably be for ____est B&M. I can't think of any record outside of just B&M they could beat.

Leviathan is an awesome name for a large scale coaster.

^Indeed. The teasers also lead to that being the name and the track colors are perfect for the name.
