Twist_of_Fate

The ride is already visible if you're riding: The Train, Powder Keg, Wildfire, and the Giant Swing (can I get confirmation on this last one?). People will see it and go to it if they are so inclined. I don't know if it's plainly visible from elsewhere in the park like a lot of roller coasters are in other parks, but that's true for most (all?) of Silver Dollar City's coasters until you start getting closer to them.

I forgot about the Giant Swing area. Looking at the picture again, that makes a lot of sense.

Having read the same discussion that you are referring to, I think they were talking more along the lines of the fact that we're probably going to be getting some concept art for the ride vehicles and the area in general as well as possibly a POV ride through via CGI. It also sounds like we're getting a LOT of photographs from areas that the GP can't photograph easily, as well as better angles of stuff that we've already seen (the drop, GICT, etc.) That said, I suppose it would be possible for there to be some other goodies in this announcement (maybe a flat ride or two out by the coaster to help round out the area) or other offerings at the park next year, but I'm more inclined to think the "surprises" are more along the line of the stuff in the last paragraph. EDIT: Looking at the photograph of where the coaster/area is supposed to be, is there any confirmation or speculation to be had about how exactly park visitors will be getting out to that area? Other than a path in the really narrow looking area between FITH, the Opera House, and Powder Keg, it's hard to see how you'd get out there. It'd be questionable design/layout, but possibility of it only being accessible via a new station for the train?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but what exactly is the difference between posting the pictures and posting several/most/all of the juiciest bits of information from the leak? Just curious...

I respect that people want to be surprised and that we should also respect SDC's PR department (who probably had no control over this accidental leak), but if anyone that managed to get a screencap would private message me a way to see it, I would be eternally grateful. If not, that's okay, too. Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited for this coaster. I love Silver Dollar City [it's grown a lot over my 23 short years of life]

Drat, missed out on the leak...oh well.

That thing looks even more wicked now that it's tracked. Can't wait to see what else they have up their sleeves.

Based on what we've seen so far, this pony will have at least two tricks. Given that those two tricks are the only thing that we really can/have seen well, I'd say RMC is off to a good start. That said, I think the speed going into that element is definitely going to be a factor because of what appears to be a change in direction. Like others have said, I'm not sure we'd be having this debate if it was actually a roll, even with other wooden coasters not necessarily doing well with inversions.

That element looks absolutely sick. I'll probably call it the fake-out in my head.

I'm going to have a hearty chuckle if this element just doesn't receive a name. That is highly unlikely to nigh impossible, but still. As for what's coming next, get those pictures uploaded!

Surely they aren't going to try to relocate the Ozark Wildcat. I have a feeling that could get a bit costly if they were, though... [Also, I would frankly love that...I was a pretty big fan of that ride] I'm not even sure what else they would bother to relocate from Celebration City, honestly, especially in terms of things that may even slightly fit in with the park's theming. Sure, a lot of them could possibly be retrofitted to make it work, but...hrmm.

That's probably going to come down to how the cars are designed and the restraint system they end up going with, especially given the roll.

I guess it could be an angle-thing, but from the newer pictures of the alleged roll, it looks like there is almost no clearance unless that crossbeam closest to the track is ultimately removed later.

With some of the track in place now, I would be even less surprised if it is actually a zero-g roll (as opposed to something else) now, but I think there is still a possibility that it's something else.
