^Ah yes, that's still a point up for debate: will they throw inversions into this "wood" coaster? They have the technology to do so and I know RMC will be itching to show it off, but having inversions on rides actually decreases the population of people who would want to ride it because a lot of people simply don't like going upside down. However, the marketing aspects would be huge.
I think SDC will stay away from the inversions with this coaster since they already have a big looper. It would be more diverse to have a nice big non-looping thrill coaster and it would probably be more timeless.
As for some of the other possibilities mentioned earlier, I think we can rule out the idea that they might add a train station in this area. The forms in place now are not close enough to the track to be a station, and even in the long run I just don't see it working out logistically to have a station near here. This will probably be as far back as they develop the park in this direction for a looooong time at the very least. I would expect them to fill up the rest of the old employee lot and the maintenance area before expanding any farther in this corner of the park, if they even need to use those areas. SDC isn't going to get all that much bigger in terms of land area used.
I also don't see it running back along the other side of the lake. It just wouldn't make sense considering the land area that they have. Splash Harbor was removed because they apparently did not want to fix it up/possible ADA issues/replacement with the new splash battle.
