I really hope this will be about Celebration City more than anything else.

It's not.

We're guessing it's a World Record attempt
I am betting a basket from the top of Outlaw Run or Wildfire.
Seems to make sense with the video clips and buzzwords they were throwing out there.

But would they want to close a major coaster long enough to do that?

I don't think the length, I think the height is what's important.
The player was standing on the lift hill of outlaw run spinning his ball and they said "epic" and "world record". (If I am not mistaken).   They own the globetrotters and a broken record is free.  They are getting publicity and they are going to do it inexpensively.  That's my guess anyway.

^Trick shot from the pinnacle of Wildfire, bouncing off the treehouse, down the corkscrew, ricocheting off of the wax hand of Meadowlark Lemmon and into the smokestack of one of the new engines as it crosses the bridge.

And nothing but net.    :)

They are using the word Reveal instead of announcement. My guess is it is something that has already been filmed and done.

You might want to check that video again. I think he was on Wildfire. Only Wildfire has purple track.

I don't have the bid with me but I thought they showed both coasters and he was standing on OR.  I could be mistaken.  We will see soon enough.

If it has purple track I am colorblind.

What color does it look like to you? It looks dark purple with a bit of a red tint and it also looks a little brown. These days, it seems like it is starting to look a bit rusty though.

Anyways lets get back on topic

He was standing on WF.

But another thing that might mean something is the fact that they have posted pictures of the Globetrotters and different locations. They posted a picture of a guy on the Showboat, the video on WF, and today they also posted a picture of a guy standing between the two drop slides at White Water. I'm thinking this could be something involving multiple of their properties in Branson.

I'm also thinking this could be two things based off of what they say on the website, "The Harlem Globetrotters are helping us celebrate Independence Day in a big way with a special surprise you'll have to see to believe! Join us on Facebook Monday, July 4th for the big reveal. Trust us...you don't want to miss it!"

The "special surprise" could be the record breaking shot, maybe. But the "big reveal" could be something else. I don't think they would use the word reveal for a live basketball shot.

I'm guessing they have the biggest basketball giveaway ever!!!!!   Or the most globetrotters ever at different location spinning a ball on their finger at the same time!!!!!

Or....it's just more hype for the sweepstakes
