If you consider what the very very first ride was at Cedar Point, a Star Flyer makes perfect sense. -

It's not a Beemer. It's not even a coaster. It's a Star Flyer-type ride. Keep hoping if you wish...but I would not suggest holding your breath (you'll pass out before you get that beemer, LOL). -

Its not a coaster. -
Can't answer how fast it's launched now but it's definitely less than 100mph. A coaster launched to a speed of 100mph will travel up to a height of approximately 377 feet*. The tower is over 400 feet tall. Even when the ride opened and it was operating at it's designed top speed of 100mph it never made it to the top of the tower. If the coaster is only launched to 80mph as your post suggests it should reach about 200 feet up the tower. (*conversely, on a traditional coaster with a lift hill you'd need a drop of approx 377 feet to reach a speed of 100mph at the bottom)

If there was only a weather web site where you could find that info. You'd think Weather Channel would have one. Or the National Weather Service. (yeah, that was sarcasm, lol) -

Nope. You can clearly see the ride you linked to has two track rails. -

No speed to the train? You do realize this ride has almost identical height and track length stats as B&M's inverted Batman The Ride, right? -
