Here's what I'm guessing is a shot of the ride. It seems to match the description.

^^^ The same thing was said about Fahrenheit, but it seems to be doing just fine.

I'm surprised this is a Premier. Not that that's a bad thing or anything, but I was honestly expecting Gerstlauer, Maurer Sohne, Mack, and even Intamin before Premier. Premier makes awesome coasters and is one of my favorite designers...can't wait!

Don't say inverted tophat, because then it would be something like this:

and going by the above pic it's just an overbaked turn.

My thoughts exactly! I was also thinking Gerstlauer or Maurer Sohne, or something very compact. This looks like it will be a great addition for the park and warrant another visit for me next year!

Awesome news! =)

A Premier Launcher, that is there major new coaster? What a let down, most Premiers have unconfortable trains, reliability issues, and a generally bad ride experience. All I can do is hold out hope, that this one is not like the previous Premier launchers.
