Ya it does, but I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer for an announcement. The parks director of PR was on tv the other day. He said they wanted to draw this out longer but things happened that made them move their timeline up on it and they should be making an announcement in the near future.

It's a coaster. They obviously haven't confirmed because they haven't announced it yet. But there isn't one sign saying this isn't a coaster, including the sources, both stated on here as well as others I know within the industry.
Oh absolutely it’s a coaster. I was just answering Matt’s question on if KW ever confirmed that it was.

So it’s definitely a coaster, judging by the footers in the lagoon, but the argument that something is guranteed because there’s no proof against it is kind of a fallacy, as you can’t really prove a negative. With that logic it could just as easily be a flat ride because there isn’t one sign saying this isn’t a flat ride.

4,000 has to be track length, which is quite long.
I'm quite excited for this now!

Well i guess there's not too much of a reason to keep speculating, here's hoping we're not dissapointed.

Well looks like this has escalated quickly! With all these numbers, I think it's time to make a final guess...
Gerstlauer Infinity
Triple shuttle launch (think Gold Rush) up to 75 mph, 197 foot initial ascent, 220 foot drop, 9 inversions, 120 second ride time, 50 foot rear spike, 4000 feet long, 6 cars with 4 riders per car making for 24 riders per train
Hearing this is supposed to be a record breaker, and the national inversion record seems like a good one for this ride system. But I have another guess. Much less likely, but I'd also love to throw this out as a secondary possibility...
S&S Air Launch
Air launch up to 75 mph, 197 foot initial ascent, 220 foot drop, 120 foot loop or other tallest inversion, 9 airtime moments, 50 second ride time, , 4000 feet long, 3 trains with 6 cars with 4 riders per car making for 24 riders per train
Definitely leaning more towards the infinity though, despite other S&S rumors. The 197 and 220 are certainly heights, the 120 could be either a height or a ride time, the 50 might be a ride time or could be something else (ride time is also kind of a subjective stat), 24 I'm almost certain is a capacity figure, 9 is probably a count of some type of element on the ride, 3 could either be an element count or capacity, 75 is probably a speed but I wouldn't necessarily rule it out as a ride time either.
Can't wait to see! I sadly work tonight so I won't be able to find out the second it drops as I'll be asleep tomorrow but man will it be a nice surprise to wake up to! I'm excited, both this and Dorney might get me back to PA for a weekend next year!

So apparently some blueprints have leaked
But it was by our favorite conspiracy theorists Amusement Insiders so I don't know what to make of it
I really don't know what to make of these blueprints. I can't make out a consistent layout for the life of me. The turnaround in the closer section of the photo does look like a raven turn though.
