So the lift hills are going to cross, that will make Khan feel much smaller.

It looks to have a similar helix to Goliath SFOG. That helix is awesome and should be made better by the increased height.

^Was just going to say that! I think this layout definitely looks unique to the other hypers, I just wish there was a rendering or something so we could see the whole thing!

EDIT: Judging by the supports, it looks like the ride has an airtime hill underneath the first one, and then another that leads into a turn and the *MCBR*. But then there's not enough room after that spot for the ride to drop down and then back up again into the airtime hill that you can see by how far the supports spread out. Maybe we'll see a mid-course water brake? Because it definitely looks to go up and then drop back down into what you'd think would be the MCBR, then climb up into another airtime hill directly after.
Last Ride: California Screamin' (DCA)

Definitely, after a second view ... I think that no MCBR. Zoomed image:

This looks much more like a splash-zone, even comparing the support-height at this point.
