For all we know if it's Mack again they could be jumping on the Wing Coaster train  (pun intended) with their own model to compete with B&M. The previous "Take Flight" teaser still sticks with me on that aspect.

Where was that teaser at again? I've tried looking for it before but couldn't remember where it was.

The more I think about it, I do think there is something bigger at play here as well. Piggybacking back to what Dewayne said about an AP replacement, I could see that happening as well, especially with the fact that we now have two very distinct and different themes floating around - the Ozarkian Daredevil Society and the Marvel Cave Mining Co, as well as Swooosh's comment from a few months ago that there were "too many moving parts. Too many pots on the fire". If the are is already prepped for a ride that you plan on replacing soon, why not do it when you can before you have to move around two rides? Only downside would be losing a good ride for summers that does great to keep the lines down. Or I could be reading into all of it too much because I'm bored at work waiting for 5 pm to strike.

There was this poster talking about it when they attended FanFest but I can't seem to find the original one anymore: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17d2mKTKPS/

Again just tossing ideas here because the park loves to mislead but the Ozarkian Daredevil Society could easily be referencing the new ride considering it's right next to AP to keep with the area theme. I also remember hearing somewhere that the Doc. Harris character from Wildfire may be reused too. Still curious if any of it ties into the Marvel Cave Mining Co. I highly doubt there's two distinct rides/attractions being built here alongside the resort.

As for the linked posters comments, to clarify I don't think this is a dive coaster per se since SFOT is getting one next year. SDC's project may indeed have a tall and steep drop like Time Traveler did though. (which was almost a Dive Coaster)  For being the first in the States, if it's a B&M I'm thinking it's a (200+ft) Wing Coaster, As for Mack its likely a Stryker Coaster or even a Hyper Coaster like DC Rivals. Neither of those types exist in the States probably marketing either with the tallest/longest or something too. SDC isn't thinking small with $500 mil between the two projects and the amount of land cleared here.

Here's a map showing the layout roughly to scale.
