It's a dive loop. You go right into it after the initial drop.

The Big Dipper trains wouldn't fit in the station. Too wide.

i agree Ive also seen it in person and they WILL NOT fit. i doubt that "logo" is a leak someone inst owning up so they can mess with us.

OR it's just a silhouette of a 4 person wide coaster car.

It's definitely a silhouette of a Big Dipper, and since the only existing one is Lost Gravity, it is from that one. There are not many coaster cars on which the outer seats have no floor and are elevated. I don't know what is going on with that logo, but I am 100% sure the silhouette is a big dipper. May be fake or a mistake, but I know what I am seeing.

It's a Big Dipper.
It clearly is. Assuming it would be real (and at this point I think it's a fake), why would they use the silhouette of such a specific coaster type that exists just once. If they just put it there for decoration, without being related to the coaster, they would use a standard coaster from a stockphoto, a classic Vekoma or something like that.

I still hope it's not, but the station building does look too tight for a Big Dipper.

It also doesn't fit with all the "firsts" that the park keeps promising for this ride.
Not to mention the name is wrong

Wow did I really oversee that

Another thing Ive noticed is when comparing the track on lost gravity and the SDC project. The SDC project looks to have much beefier track than lost gravity hence needing to support heavier trains than the little big dipper trains on lost gravity.

May be completely wrong here but what are the chances this ride uses a system similar to Cobras curse. A standard train for the first half before the launch and then the spinning trains unlock somewhere on the layout. Perhaps just before the launch like Gekion in Tokyo? Although quite what the worlds first is beyond multiple inverting spinning coaster i dont know.

Have I missed something here or is the world's first not just steepest dropped spinner?

It was FirstS.
They keep emphasizing that point. I do imagine the drop is one of them though.

There appears to be brackets for something at the top of the vertical drop. Maybe for a kind of holding brake?

If it is a holding brake, it would be quite exciting if the rotation on the cars was unlocked at this point, meaning the car would swing with the heavier side facing forward whilst hanging over that huge drop, meaning you might not know which way you'd face as you fall.
Of course, that might not be possible at all (I'm no engineer).
