Yeah it doesn't really add up... Unless the way they mean "Family" is by height limit - which could be conceivable I guess. But none of this report is matching up very well with anything else.
If feel like if they got details confirmed that they would be able to confirm that 76 MPH thing too.
I'm guessing that the 315ft waiver is either scrapped or not for this ride; and like that park is almost admitting one of their coasters isn't what they wanted. 3 launched sit down coasters seems like overkill too.
One of the points on the supposed "BGW 2020" slide is quite literally "76MPH." It doesn't say "Top Speed: 76 MPH" or "76 MPH Launch" or anything like that. There is literally just a bullet point that says "76MPH"
To be honest with you all, though there are still aspects of this presentation I can't explain away, I'll say this: Just based on the fact that the documents have spread as far as they have and the medium via which I now know they have been spread, I'm a lot more suspicious than I was originally.
I'm pretty confident at this point that not everyone is being entirely honest with me about how they got their hands on these things. I'm not saying the documents are real or fake, but I am saying this: No one should treat this information as fact. Not yet at least.

I'm sure some of you coaster experts can perhaps point to anything that exists that falls into a "multi-launch" 76mph "family" coaster. Then (unless it's been tabled as some also wonder) add the 300+ feet into the equation. Is there anything even closely resembling these "leaks"? I'm certainly scratching my head.
If the "family" description is in error (which I think it is), Soaring with Dragon launches at 77mph but averages 55 or so with a multi-launch configuration.

Apparently, "Taron is a family coaster" is a meme on /r/rollercoasters/. Taron is an Intamin Blitz that almost hits 73 MPH.
I'm just pointing out in a journalistic context, they seemed to have said that they did the proper work; but then they say 'if correct'. Just seemed odd to say you checked as the newspaper, then say "If they are right". Sorry, it just seems the most confusing point of the reporting.
I think I could see 76 MPH and the swoop by the river coming into ties if that isn't the low point of the drop, and it's a highlight point that the coaster train flies by the river at 76 MPH, but it's not the top speed.
EDIT:
Not trying to call anyone out FWIW! I've learned to trust people who check these things like yourself and Nicole and don't really say much because you know you could lose the trust of the park/person that helps you. I personally feel there's something missing in these documents, whether it be a slide or two, or things are out of order.
Zachary fixed that link. It now goes to an outside article about roller coaster leaks.
Ok, so I'm picturing a 300 foot tall Maverick/Cheetah Hunt.....and my head hurts.
How is a 315 ft coaster 76 mph
Also do you have any idea of what the layout will be based off the slides?
