I think you missed where I was going with that - it's relevant in that that was the explanation Suzy gave for how KM residents would see the spike of DS, it's conceivable a similar explanation would be given during a community meeting for this ride.
Her description was of a much smaller narrower scuture and the knife edge description was fairly reasonable from what I understand of Spires design. I can think of no RMC that even remotely fits that description. Any RMC hybrid of decent size will have a considerable impact on the skyline view in that area and the nature if their design makes it significantly harder to limit that impact. Not being fully open about that in the public hearings could actually lead to some significant issues for the park and possibly even JCC in the future.

This has to be the worlds tallest hybrid rmc. Considering the success of iron gwazi. It’s gonna cross the train tracks over to the boneyard with how massive this coaster is gonna be.
 
I wouldn’t mind seeing a Mack Hyper. First one in North America. I’ve only heard and read good things about this model. It would also give a minimal skyline impact with KM because of the structure of their lifts. It’s been made in a compact and out and back style layout. Especially if it somehow uses DF’s station, the narrower track and two seat width trains will fit without much retrofitting work.

EDIT:
Basically - I want a hybrid in this park, but I think I want it somewhere else.
 
I'd like to point out that you cannot see anything BGW related from inside Kingsmill unless you're in the perfect spot. Mäch Tower is even blocked by trees unless you look along a golf course fairway or it's winter time. Having a 220 foot ride in the Drachen Fire site will likely not be visible from any residencies.

Sound is the thing. The proximity of that site to houses is much closer than the front of the park. Back in the 90's, BGW received enough noise complaints from KM about Drachen Fire that the antirollback dogs on the trains had to be held up from the rollback rack with an electro magnet. RMC lifts are pretty loud. Something would probably have to be done about the lift... unless it's a launch coaster.
 
This steampunk spinning trans would actually make a great German Cuckoo Clock theamed spinning coaster.
I like that idea, but I'd change it a little, keep it tame and it'll be the Cobra's Curse counterpart BGW never got and needs now more than ever.

VA's only spinning coaster would be a marketable point.

That would limit gp willing to ride it as a lot of people can’t do things that spin.
 
I think iirc Zadra’s lift hill is signifigantly quieter than the other RMC lifts so they could do that
