More pics.
They look like iSpeed supports. I doubt it will be a launcher though since they already have a intamin launch coaster. My guess is Blitz, Mega, or Mega-Lite. I doubt a giga will come.

Those look very similar to the supports on iSpeed. Those supports look like they'd rule out Mega-Lite(darn), unless it's not the standard Mega-Lite.
Considering that KD can build well over 200 feet, why would you want a mega-lite coaster when you could get a mega coaster?
PM ME PLEASE IF YOU PLAN ON ADDING MY GAMERTAG!

Dude, do you know how much room they have? They have all the land on the side of anaconda and all the room behind hurler, and grizzly. The possiblities are endless. The coaster could go anywhere, even over the waterpark. And saying it wont be a launch coaster is stupid because they just added XLC 2 years after volcano.
But however it is an intamin and I am very excited to see outcome!!!
XLC was a S&S though, It's not the same. Why have two of the same company, same type, of rides? But whatever, it's there choice.
It also wouldn't be smart to use all there land on one coaster.

Right...last time I checked, inverts are totally different than normal sitdowns. There's more to the ride than the launch. Who cares if it's from the same company?
While you are talking about land, let's talk about pathways. How do you get back there? Right along the FoF path. Any other way to get park there? Not unless they set up a path through the water park, which doesn't seem likely. With that said, when you add 2 or more coasters back there with one enterance to the area, those 3-4 coasters attract a lot of people and cause a major traffic problem in that part of the park. The bottleneck at Kings Island was terrible when Firehawk opened, and it still is. I don't see them adding more than 1 coaster back there if there's not another path to support the area.

There is no difference between iSpeed and Maverick; they're both blitzcoasters. It doesn't matter what the layout is; they both use a LSM propulsion system. Just because one has a tophat and the other has a beyond vertical drop off of a more traditional lifthill doesn't mean anything.
XLC was a S&S though, It's not the same. Why have two of the same company, same type, of rides? But whatever, it's there choice.
PKI already beat me to it, but Volcano is a completely different type of ride. First, it's inverted. Second, it's in a volcano. Third, it has inversions. We don't know whether this will have inversions or not. The focus may be airtime.

That's a good point. It's still going to be a hassle for the park, even with one ride.

What the hell? This could possibly be the biggest screw up in history. Supports sent to the wrong park? This is ridiculous.
