An inverted Wing coaster is kind of redundant being that it changes nothing about ride experience since you ride on the outside of the track. Also wing coasters have riders level with the track so I mean...... I guess my question is WHY? What's the need? -
You guys are thinking in the mid set of coaster enthusiast. Granted, I too would love Boss just to be touched up and given the TLC it needs to be as great as it was in its first season... however, marketing wise, they won't draw in the crowds. We gotta think in terms of Money (Investment) and ROI! Which is why Iron Horse works so well.

Speaking of new Vortex trains, what if they replaced the OTSRs with a vest restraint like the ones on B&M wing coasters? I have thought the same thing... I think that would make stand ups much more enjoyable. The style works well on the flyers and on wing coasters. If they apply it to stand ups no more

I just hope this rides smooth with lap bar only restrains and no sudden shifting as the cars navigate the various elements. -

I would be in AWE. I have said I want to see the day when we get inverted coaster to take that record from Alpengeist and go over 200ft. It would be a hyper (albeit inverted) with inversions. I also would love to see a Intamin Pre Fab. However, I think a B&M dive coaster would be the absolute best fit. That space just screams Dive Coaster to me... I already have the layout in my head. 2014 will make 9 years since Sheikra, I would thank that any such (rumored) exclusivity deal with B&M over Dive Coasters should be null and void by now. How about a mixture of the two... an inverted Dive Coaster... Where the cliff hanger drop is a take from the wing-over drop on wing coasters. After cresting the top of the lift the track rolls over into a dive but there's there cliff hanger mechanism to hold the car at the edge of the drop. Therefore riders aboard the inverted coaster train are hanging upside while looking near 90 degrees straight down for the few seconds before the mechanism releases.
