^I hope it's one of them tasty cinnamon rolls.

[Chittlins]

It's not a cinnamon roll but it may involve frosting.

[Meteornotes]

If they gave you one of those cinnamon rolls while on this coaster, it would be the greatest rider ever built in the history of history.

I'm imagining employees standing on the break run at the end, with fresh baked cinnamon rolls, handing them out to you as you roll into the station... and I like the idea. I like it very much.

Hi guys, I am new here, though I have been browsing for while.

 

Can someone explain to me what a roll down is? I think I need a rollercoster terminology handbook so I can understand some of the things you guys talk about!

[Godwyn]

I don't think he means a "roll down". He means a "roll" that is down in the valley.

[Bobby2889]

Oh, I'm actually really excited about this coaster so hopefully you can see how I over thought that one.

 

So a roll like, a cobra roll?

[Shavethewhales]

^A "roll", singular, is typically where the track goes from standard position to upside down while traveling in a fairly straight line. Barrel rolls are like this: http://rcdb.com/1412.htm?p=6546 and zero-g rolls are like this: http://rcdb.com/80.htm?p=1320

 

Cobra rolls kind of break the terminology there... but what are you going to do, we're bad at keeping standards

 

It sounds like this supposed roll in the valley is a zero-g roll, but I'll hold my breath until the announcement or photos are posted. With all the surprises this coaster has thrown, who knows what's really been spotted or what the track is actually going to do.

[Bobby2889]

I'll catch on soon enough, I just hope whatever they do it's not another SoB!

 

The announcement is coming soon like within a week or two, right? Is that when parks release specs?

[Guy T. Koepp]

Let us not forget that this ride has given us the all new element. Guy's Inverted Camel Toe. GICT for short.

 

I am Guy and I approve this message.

It could be like the Carousels that have the rings you have to grab! That really would be amazing.

[The Yeti]

The layout is up on the SDC 2013 project website...DOUBLE BARREL ROLL!!!! And GICT is simply named and outside banked turn?

[coasterfreak101]

Now that...that I did not see coming.

[simaticable]

RMC, you are the craziest people I have ever heard of.

 

I already love you!

[televisedconfession]

I'm not seeing this layout?

EDIT: It's been password-protected.

[The Yeti]

And within 30 minutes, the site is now password protected...The double barrel roll was the final element just before turning in to the brakes/station, and there looked to be a few decent airtime moments and two big overbanks throughout the rest of the ride!

[ernierocker]

Wow, I am going to assume someone screwed up there big time!

[televisedconfession]

I'm so happy to hear that the element we're seeing via construction updates isn't the big surprise to this coaster! Congrats Siver Dollar City!

[Intimidator305]

Please tell me someone got a screenshot...? It sounds like this is going to be one insane ride!

[SoCalCoasters]

Double barrel roll?

 

A DOUBLE BARREL ROLL!?

I'm not sure what the rules would be on posting that...so I sent the picture to someone who might! Considering that site is now password protected, and even though I have no connection/insider information with SDC, I would just feel kinda guilty posting it since the announcement is only 10 days away.

 

I believe they said the top speed was 68 mph, and it looks like it will haul through most of the course; a fairly short, but sweet (looking) ride, kinda like Wildfire!

[Bobby2889]

Wow, seeing as I'm still considering guys inverted camel toe as an inversion, that means this woodie has 3 inversions?!? I Can't even begin to imagine what this will be like? It doesnt even seem possible.

[simaticable]

2013 is going to be a BIG year in the roller coaster world.

Considering that the announcement is ten days away, I have a feeling this leak was probably intentional. If you think about it...look how much attention it has already gotten! Stuff doesn't just "leak" out much, but who knows...
