Sadly, footers don't seem to suggest it, so none of that tonight.
But maybe someday! Had Kings Island done that with Banshee where it turned that batwing into a pretzel loop that went from invert to flyer at the top, pretzel looped, twisted out, went into a Starry Sky Ripper-esque loop, took the same carousel but banked it so that you were inverted again, same inline twist, and then have it set you back down on the helix it would probably be my #1.
Ah, we'll know in fifteen! So excited!
I'd had that idea too. That one seems a bit more pointless, though. Or at the top of an element if they do it mechanically like an S&S 4D coaster. Have the invert go into the top of the pretzel loop and have rails or magnets pull it into a fly and take the pretzel loop to continue the rest of the ride as a flyer. That would be sick as ****!tomahawk said:

It looks pretty big actually.
0-60 in 3.5 secs. Did they just say Fly Wheel?

I'll say this first: not really been following this project at all, but watched the announcement like a good goon.
The way that they said "First B&M Launched Wing-Coaster in the US" perhaps hint at similar projects elsewhere...
But yeah. First B&M built launch, if I'm not mistaken. From what I saw of the layout it looks very short and uninspired.
