80 mph is different than 90. 80 would still be a fairly lengthy ride depending on the shaping of some things. Maverick I know is around 1:15 from the pre-lift to the brakes for reference.

The park is withholding the height to make these forums a bad place.
Well mission accomplished 315%.
Bear in mind, "top speed" is not necessarily the speed of the entire ride.
The PA specs show it to be 4465ft "total track experience" and times at about 1:20 with top speed 66.5mph. Thus (math is not my strong suit), it's average speed is about 41mph. SwD has a top speed of 77mph but averages 45-50mph.

To be fair, this Forum is always like this at this stage: post-leak/pre-announcement.
Check out the Verbolten thread. It wasn't pretty.
In regards to theming - I didn't see this quote posted - at the end of the reveal of the MMXX with those Roman style columns, Kevin said "I think the Roman Gods have something pretty special for everybody in 2020."
Let the speculations renew....

I dunno you guys... It may not even be Intamin. Remember when RCDB reported it and I posted about it and everyone was like, "Naw, BGW hates Intamin"? Well... That may still be true. The slide didn't say it.

I've a curious question (yeah, I know I really need to get a life).
What defines a "structure" in the eyes of the FAA and JCC? AS @Zachary noted in the front page article, the plans submission to JCC included 2 height variance statements (for the sake of a better word); One for what we assume is the spike and the other for the top hat. Yet, there's only a single filing with the FAA which we're assuming is the spike.
Is the entire coaster a structure as assumed with the single FAA filing or are the individual elements as assumed with the JCC filing?

I know this isn't a Roman God, but I found this while searching and love it.
JCC the entire ride is considered a single structure. FAA is any element that breaks 200 feet or any structure that will break 200 feet for a certain period of time.
Got it.
As @Zachary stated, 2 mentions of waivers to JCC in plan submission, yet only 1 filing with FAA. So I'm unclear about that.
So, based on what you say, if the FAA requires 1 for each 200ft structure, then (if the spike is the "tallest") then the top hat would be less than 200ft (?).
Contrary to that idea is I found the FAA waiver for KD's Intimidator. Single filing, mentioning lift hill being the tallest structure. I'm not certain the heights of the secondary hills on that coaster.
A few pages back, I posted a screen shot of the FAA location based on their determination. Here it is again. Doesn't look anywhere near the drop.

Just for some clarification: There are always two filings with the FAA. There is an initial filing of the proposed project and the anticipated locations of objects of height. This would include an initial lat/long, ground elevation and peak elevation, not height, but elevation based upon mean sea level. This gives the FAA an opportunity to provide a determination on the locations to provide feedback if there is a conflict or other issues. Then a second filing of the actual constructed locations with lat/long and elevations. This data is then put into the FAA database. This is the process I use for any project within an Airport overlay district or any structure taller than 199 feet.
Thanks @Celticdog for that clarification.
I believe this shows the FAA has made the determination with the link under "Letters"?

From what I can gather that letter is referring to that FAA saying that they have determined that the proposed height doesn't obstruct any flight paths and is therefore allowed. It still says that they have to submit a notice of actual construction once completed. Basically just a go ahead and build the structure.
