Slim to none I would say. It is a B&M Hyper after all. No one really knows.

Actually, I think the more we unfold about this ride, the more the launch seems to become more and more likely. I used 'more' 4 times...

That is pretty interesting.

My guess is still on a B&M hyper. Not a launch. I really do not want a launch coaster. They have more downtimes than a regular cable/chain lift coaster and are more finicky. Even if it was a world speed record, which I do not think it is, I would still take a good ole B&M hyper any day. I think it will be a NASCAR themed coaster and the history making line will be the world's first NASCAR coaster. With all of the recent clues coming together it makes the most sense to me. I love the new layout from above. Great job. I hope we do get that little extra right before the end and not the simple bunny hops straight in. Actually. I think the layout/graphic was from another of the threads. Sorry, with 3 or 4 of them about this construction, I get confused where I am.

I will be taking some pictures this tuesday. Mostly from skytower, if I see track (which I think is coming very soon, I will take pics of that. However I really do not think I will be out there, mostly skytower and fence shots.

Doesn't track usually come VERY close to the announcement date? So it would be around the 26th?
