Remember who wrote the article....think of them looking at a drawing on paper. Is a helix a loop?

^Great point. Definitely a possiblity.

Longer than The Vortex doesn't sound bad, for sure.

On Mindbender at SFOG they classify it having three loops because of it's 'helix'.

Well, I kind of hope that it doesn't have inversions because I've never been on a true hyper...except for Magnum. But they say it will look similar to griffon to the GP so immelmans maybe? But then again, it is no longer classified as a hyper if it has inversions so never mind...they must mean helices in the article. Plus if you think about it, the true name for a loop is a "vertical" loop...so these may very well be helices.

Well, we were just talking about permits today.

Good on the Oxford press for breaking this.

Actually some good investigative journalism.

Makes you think if they came on here and took browns idea! lol

I'm sure if this ride would take riders upside down, it would sound more formal stating that it would have "inversions", not loops.

Wonder if this will push up the parks announcement.

I'd guess that the park did not think that the info would be published so early.

its the Oxford press not U.S.A today

..quoting the blueprints....

Your turn...

as they said 3 loop's and a water feature, makes you think of a dive machine....but then again they did say 8 cars holding a total 32 ppl. but then again they coulda made a mistake since you can have a diver with 4 rows of 8. I really wanna say its a diver but the article says other wise.

OMG,Still no name given.Im dissapointed. :(

I think there is still a good change the marketing dept. (whoever names it) has not narrowed it down to one yet.

I don't think there's any rule that a hyper coaster cannot have inversions. I am inclined to think perhaps there are loops on the coaster since there are 8 rows 4 across. I am just basing this upon Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure which has no inversions and has 9 rows of 4 across. I am just guessing.

Yup, names do not need to be submitted.

I'm sure this coaster is named, and everything is done. I think with this it'll probablly push up the date they announce it.

It just depends on how you think about it.

you could have

4 rows , 8 across

8 rows , 4 across

32 rows , 2 across

I hope thay get it up as soon as possible,I want it to open Opening day 2009!(We all know thats not gonna happen!)

We do?

Maybe It will open up on opening day 2010? who knows! o wait we do!

I know a lot of Disney World plans for new structures and attractions are found out through the local planning office by interested fans.

4,200 feet is short for a hyper coaster.

I know, this is what makes me think if this article is real... with that huge clearing they have it's kind of hard to believe.

This is really very sad news....

It means the rumor coaster for 2009 thread will not hit 6000 posts.
