i think we can pretty much presume it's not going to be the worlds steepest drop as there's nothing on the plans to show it, and it's quite unlikely that a drop can be made much steeper than some of the eurofighters out there already...

Based on the plans, there is no evidence of being even a beyond vertical drop, let alone a 122 Degree plus drop, impossible in the station building judging by its size, so no. It is not the worlds steepest drop.

One of the things I'm hoping is that SW7 doesn't do a Saw and become very rough over time but I am looking forward to it. Apart from that, I think it may beat some existing record but what that will be I'm not sure unless it's inversions?

I think this is extremely dissappointing.... I was really looking forward to the next Worlds first aspect, I hope the rest of the ride lives up enough to cover this.

Only problem with Saw is damn horse collar style OTSR's, something Gersts new lap bar 8 seat cars alleviate, and I am personally most excited about.

The hypnosis/brainwashing element, the logo and elements of the track design and the change in marketing blurb have me wondering...
World's fastest spinning coaster?
It's an extreme longshot I know but it would explain the change of language ("worlds first spinning eurofighter" won't have an impact outside of coaster enthusiasts), the vertical lift leading up to a fairly ordinary looking drop. First half is done forward facing, second half had the spinning mechanism unlocked. The car is then made to face forward in the building .
They keep adding twists to the Eurofighter design and they could build on their current spinning coaster tech. It all depends on whether some of the track elements of the second half would be too extreme to spin on though.

It said World's first beating coaster.
2 Definitions.
1.) The coaster involves passengers getting physically hurt on the ride.
(Yet again this would make the ride get shutdown OR...)
2.) The coaster will be synced with music as the carts go across the track.

Probably a bit to similar to sonic though for ATabigsmurf wrote: The hypnosis/brainwashing element, the logo and elements of the track design and the change in marketing blurb have me wondering...

Or it means it beats the rest of the world. Such as a world firstsku11dude123 wrote: It said World's first beating coaster.

Indeed. The worlds first flying coaster came 4 years after the worlds first flying coaster. All in the blurb that comes with it. Knowing Altons tendancy over the past few years it will involve a very small drop tower and a Dyson city vac.

by world beating i think it means beating the world record of most inversions. that seems most plausible. sorry if it's already been mentioned!

plausible that they changed the wording to add rise to speculation, but their marketing team are top notch. i can't imagine they'd specifically change the phrasing without having a reason to do so.

hopefully not 4d. with ice age 4d, it would look too much like AT are latching onto the gimmick. i hope it's something with more of a lasting impact.

It has been said that It will be "only one of its kind in the world"
It is genuinely true, check TPT
