The only thing SEAS did not back up was if the information was current, unchanged, or the context of that information was in relation to actual attractions being added. Therefore, the information may be old and outdated, it may have changed many times, or any piece of (or the whole presentation) may have been an internal joke or may have been designed to be leaked and contain false information altogether. To simply state that it is not an official or internal document is entirely misleading and incorrect.

I feel bad for all the passerby's who have a hard time trying to follow along passively and are lost in the muck.

I am so glad you posted this @VonDerrick because it very much is in line with my non-posted-post (and where I got really mean). Other than SEAS saying "Yeah it's ours" there's a lot unknown about these slides.

Like:
When were they created? '18? '17? '16? There's no time stamp on there of when these slides were done. There's no reference to the time of year that they were produced.

How did they get out? Disgruntled ex-employee? Rogue employee trying to make a name for themselves? Planned leak from the company? This VERY much matters in terms of how it got out.

Why did they create them? Was this an internal pitch presentation from different employees in brainstorm mode? Was it a pitch with plans to current investors? Was it a plan to pitch some future investors?

Why are some of the slides better fleshed out and some bare bones? Seems like some random data points to have included, some strange descriptions of what they want, and the vagueness of them.

I think in the end other than them being confirmed as from SEAS there's 0 that can be taken from them, and the attachment to the slides has long been baffling to me because of all the questions surrounding them.
 
I could've sworn we discussed this exact same thing like 50 pages ago...

Does it really matter? Rumor threads like this are extremely repetative. There is no news to report, so people go over again and again what they think it will be and what they want. I'm positive the same stuff has been repeated like 10 times by now.
 
I did some of my own sleuthing and, after contacting them, RCDB won't confirm why they felt comfortable adding the entry, breaking their own rule:

Rumored roller coasters are never listed in the rcdb. New roller coasters are not listed until a park makes its official announcement. An exception to this rule is when track is spotted on site, at which point it is considered publically known.

If you ask me, they have a source they can't reveal and no longer consider it a rumor. That's news if you ask me.

Are you kidding me? I hope it's never built so we can speculate forever until the whole concept is elevated to urban legend status like Polybius or Disney's frozen head being stored in Sleeping Beauty's castle.

"Bro, did you hear about Project Madrid back in '19??? They were going to build a vertical pneumatic launch coaster that literally blasts off under the Rhein and launches you up to BGWs proposed themed land up in the sky. I heard it all got canceled because Billy Dee Williams owns the rights to Cloud City and SEAS didn't want to pay royalties."
 
I'm not a geologist, but I think that means that you and Lando have to fight to the death.


Serious question: does anyone know if Cloud City was built by Arrow or Swartzkopf? I think the curves scream Arrow but the exhaust shaft is, like, so totally Swartzkopf.
 
I saw a trip report today on r/rollercoasters. The author refers to Park President Kevin addressing an ACE picnic and a subtle "mention" of the ride coming in 2020...."there's a lot of good information on the Internet about it right now and there's a lot of bad information as well."

So, what's the good and what's the bad? Something is right.

(I tried to link the subreddit but it defaults to the YouTube video they posted).
