^ you can't really compare costs of coasters as a straight USD to GBP swap at the most recent exchange rate. Coasters built in the UK always have a higher $$ price tag than equivalents built in the US- there's large underlying taxation and other 'local' cost differences at play in these type of projects

^its a vertical lift, as each coaster pre-drops towards each other before the main ~50 degree drops If you look at all the plans- the first lift is at c.45 degrees, and the second is a vertical lift. No beyond vertical drops. The coaster is also very clearly a Mobius-style duelling coaster- look how those inversions interlock. So my bets would be, on the world first-ness: worlds first [XXXX] duelling coaster Looking at the layout and supporting it could be an Intamin Blitz coaster (especially given the longer between block sections and the fact there's no beyond vertical drop) or a Eurofighter. Either way, I think it's the best coaster layout we could have hoped for and is very exciting- I genuinely won't understand if people start moaning about this one. I'd have this over Swarm any day, if only for the sheer length of it...
