The sides do look like the work of AI. Maybe they should consider paying an artist for their work instead.
Attraction Phoenix Rising

I noticed the weird sides of the extended frame but figured it was just poor art quality. AI makes way more sense. Ugh.
When was there an indication that the trains would swing at all? Was that just assumed based on the name "suspended"? I would think that would be to differentiate this model from their Inverted model for B&M and their customers.
Imagine not knowing what your 15+ million dollar attraction can do
To be fair, given that the "artist's" rendering is pretty clearly AI, there's nothing there proving that it won't swing side-to-side. I mean maybe it's unlikely anyway, but that illustration doesn't prove anything one way or the other.
Have we confirmed that this is going to go anywhere above the Serengeti like Busch is saying?
I’m still weary of this “swinging seats“ thing that’s out there.
But…..in either case that layout seems really underwhelming for what a family invert is. The one at Happy Valley Shanghai is very twisty, Merlin’s Meyhem is twisty, Freedom Flyer is very twisty. I guess wait to ride it right?

Will probably be way less janky than Merlin's Mayhem or Freedom Flyer. And based on the stats released today will be anywhere from 10-14 mph faster than those three examples.
I'm not sure the targeted demographic would be aware they are being cheated out of a "twistier" layout.
I know there's absolutely 0 evidence or context clues outside of a botched pr statement to notate that this invert swings, but I'd honestly be shocked if it doesn't. IMO the Big Bad Wolf for Williamsburg 25 has to swing, as half-ass as SEAS has gotten I can't imagine this Wolf reincarnate to not swing, that's its main feature. We can't disregard the prototype work B&M has been producing lately, and if Phoenix Rising is indeed a sister ride then we've got a true suspended attraction coming our way as well.
It has been confirmed that it doesn't swing, best give up on that now.
I was told it doesn't swing and don't believe it will swing, but does anyone have a clip or quote of BGT expressly saying it doesn't? Just want proof to cite to all the people I'm seeing who are still mislead by the original announcement.
Anyone thinking BGT pilgrimage to check this thing out before our version pops up in VA? Breeze makes flying to Tampa for a weekend WAY too tempting.
Awesome angle! Haven't seen that side of the site before!
At this point I would suggest somebody with some sort of media credentials reach out and ask for confirmation that this is a B&M Family Inverted Coaster. It isn't a secret and the press release gaff had nothing to do with the folks working on the project (as stupid as that sounds).
