It's more plausible than a launched flying coaster, as some have speculated. Thunderbird's layout is fairly close to the ground for most of the ride, and could provide for some fun interactions/fly-throughs. Also consider that it's the last B&M design left for the FL-GA region (there are only four in America, and the closest would be Dollywood's Wild Eagle).

A launched-flyer could fit in the space they have, while a wing-coaster couldn’t. Also, Universal has worked with flying-coasters before in Japan. So a launched-flyer is a lot more likely.

This would save the room that the lift might take up

Whatever this coaster ends up being, it’s most likely not going to have a lift.

Why do I feel everything starts as a 200ft+ coaster rumor?

They need to just redo the whole land to transition to JW.

I know that this thing probably won’t go over very many pathways, but what about under them? It could help with the energy of the land.

Also, the games/restaurants better get a revamp whenever this thing opens. Maybe one of the restaurants gets demolished in favor of a new one?

I was told by a reliable source that it would be visible above the tree tops, but not by much. So 200' seems unlikely to me.

Again, I have a feeling that the 200ft thing is a red herring. That’s way too outlandish to be true.

Is there any chance that this will be an Intamin motor-bike coaster? The HP roller coaster doesn’t look like it’s going to have that style of trains.

On the import log the potter coaster is listed as a Motorbike Coaster.

How tall are those gigantic palm trees in front of the Discovery Center? I imagine a few stories since the rise above the DC

Right around 75 feet and will max out at 95-120 or something like that as I recall... the palm trees that is.

It’s funny, you take away Mark Woodbury’s screens and his new fall-back becomes roller coasters.

You can't prove a negative.

If you have an issue with me, I'd love to hear it in private instead of seeing a staff member making such comments.

I’ll take literally everyone else saying it won’t be a 200Ft launched flyer over 1 person saying it will be

Not to mention that kind of ride would be so far out of bounds for a normal UOR coaster
