Where did you here this? I've been following AT but haven't seen anything about Oblivion getting some new love. Also, regarding the whole 'washing machine' element, I think we can discard that idea. While some people might find it good, the GP will probably puke their guts out on a regular basis, not to mention how it'll impact the service rate of the coaster. 4-5 rotations of track would be somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute (afaik), with buffer time for checking the track is aligned correctly before and after, will make the total time around 1-1.5 minutes. Not much, but enough to have a pretty serious effect on dispatch times unless the crew are on top form all day, every day. My personal idea is far-fetched, but I think it fits better than the current favorite idea. To explain my idea, first take a look at the 'Ministry of Joy' logo: Now look really close at the 'eyes' of the smile. Notice that each eye is formed from 4 strands, in the shape of a barrel/heartline roll. We also know that the trains seat 4 rows of 4 people. Far-Fetched Idea: Each car is a single row of 4, joined by an electromagnetic coupling. The signature element involves each car seperating and going through its' respective inversion (possibly a different one for each row?) before joining back up and continuing onwards. Insane to be sure, but how else do you explain the 'strand' pattern in the logo, as well as the world's firsts/record breaking that is being touted by AT advertising? The 'washing machine' doesn't fit the teasers we've been given thus far, although this alternative is even more unbelievable than someone actually thinking 13's advertising was a good idea... This would also grant the ride the inversion record, as while you would only experience 9 or 10 inversions per ride, the records are calculated by track inversions. That's why Eejanika (however it's spelled) holds the record with 14 even though you don't experience 14; 14 is number of track inversions plus number of 360 spins by the seats. If there are 2 duplicates of this element (hence 2 eyes in the logo) that would make 4+4+8 = 16 inversions minimum, and as no park in the world would be delightfully insane enough to design, yet alone build a coaster that would actually go through 16 inversions, the record is pretty much in AT's hands for all of time.
