I still think that if the "berries" are 3255 feet of track, the "sugar" is the energy being added to the mix. What exactly is being measured and the type of units 530 refers to I don't know, but the horsepower of each launch motor or the watts of electricity used to run the ride are two possibilities.

Either that, or sugar is sweet and what makes people excited, so it's adding 530 ft of inverted track, or the length of a signature element, to the 3255ft of "regular" track to "sweeten" the ride. Inverted is possible, but the blueprint doesn't show anything in the layout that looks like something to be highlighted on it's own.

Or, it has nothing to do with the coaster, and is about the side projects, like the footprint size of the fliers.

I'm glad you guys are acknowledging it as unreasonable, but seriously, don't even let yourself hold onto that hope or you'll just be disappointed, lol.

I'm thinking we are there for her jam presentation but she secretly has us there for that thing they call copperhead strike which she keeps hidden in the barn.

Omg, I hope so. That would play into the “epic secret”. I love reading coaster lore when it’s not something cheesy like a coaster getting its revenge on Maverick.

Carowinds will release it themselves 15 minutes prior to SFMM's announcement since they are in direct competition with each other . . .

I don’t Know if I am more excited for the announcement or hearing all the GP talking about it at school :lol:
