I imagine this will be something like Futroscope's Objectif Mars then, which has a bucket full of potential.

A spinning coaster? Interesting!

I’m guessing that might be where the variation in ride experience that Victoria Lynn hinted towards is coming from; you could have both chosen and unchosen (by the guest) forms of variability come from spinning trains.

Depending on how the spinning works and how much the park are emphasising theming with this, spinning trains could also lend themselves to some interesting storytelling opportunities!

Hopefully not exactly like it

Originally operated with spinning cars. Following a lithium ion battery fire in April 2023 this function was disabled.

Indeed. It reminds me of Cobra's Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa. I'm not sure how these Intamin ones work but there could potentially be three modes:

• Locked (forward)
• Spinning
• Locked (backward)

If the whole area is to be wild west themed as believed, I'm guessing Gold track to carry on the gold part of some of the supports.

My bet is on a green track or a dark red!
