I think that means it's going to be 95 feet tall.
Considering the fact he said 95 degrees, I am putting my money on the fact that he meant 95 degrees.
The spike is no way in hell reaching 300ft, what would be the purpose, its not even gonna get close to that height
Doing some Roman/Greek god research, I came across Morpheus. More here:

Yes there is an association with sleep, but also with dreams and mimicking the forms of other beings. Busch can loosely associate concepts like none other and call it a ride as we know, so I’m playing with the idea that this ride’s transfer track/launch is enough to “morph” the ride into another form. It’s a trick that can make you as the rider have a loose connection to “deja vu” when you fall down the airtime stall and backwards to the spike, and launch again, connecting the (far-fetched) dream association with Morpheus as a god of dreams/transition/mimicry.
Sounds like a somewhat decent name and has enough of an amusement/historical concept in my mind for them to market it.
Thoughts?
Morpheus, the God of Dreams Morpheus
Morpheus was the God of Dreams. family tree of Morpheus, his father was Hypnos, his brothers Oneiroi, Dreams. Morpheus named the morphine. Morpheus Dream World

Cedar Fair also did recently let Centurion drop, if that's worth pursuing.
I'm still leaning toward Mercury. But, taking something from Da vinci...Balestra Gigante (cross bow).
I like the crossbow. The back and forth launch track is pulling the arrow back...whoosh!

Everyone is overlooking the river element. It is clearly going to be themed to Julius Ceasar crossing the Rubicon.
Our luck, the marketing department will name it "GladiatR".
Hmmm, Roman theme, two high peaks, two drops by the river, two launch sections, two inversions, two trains....
....Romulus and Remus are the twin brothers that were sent down the River Tiber by their uncle Amulius (the king at that time), when they were fished out of the river at the formation of Rome, by the god Tiberinus. And that's my official guess. Everything being done in 2's with this ride makes me think somehow it comes back to this theme.

but thats a 100 mph launch and actually uses the full height or atleast most, this would maybe reach half of the 300ft
Maybe they'll just troll those folks who wanted something different - Gigaus Notus
