News Project 2027/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)

A full circuit mack spinner would be badass.
I know it's a longshot, but I'd love to see Wild One relocated to Great Adventure. A family friendly wooden coaster in the park is definitely missed.
Yall can feel free to stay home and not ride the 400 foot Mack spinning coaster with an upside down launch. I’ll be there because I like roller coasters and think riding them is more fun than complaining about them
As much as some enthusiasts want to complain about it, a strata spinner would be an insane draw for GP and less vocal enthusiasts. I really don’t care if it’s a shuttle or not, it’ll be a ridiculous feat of engineering and I’ll be returning to NJ for whatever the new addition is regardless.
I think it’s also important to note that this isn’t a project picked up from another park like Flash, if it’s a shuttle I’d be shocked if there isn’t a turntable or transfer track.

It's definitely a draw for me! Not even really for the strata height, but for the upside down spinning launch. Could be one of the craziest elements ever built.
Oh I fully agree, I’ve said before that I don’t particularly care how tall it is. That upside down launch is gonna be absolutely unreal.
The outside tilt 400 feet above the ground while spinning with nothing but a lap bar is reason enough for me to make the trip. Who cares if it’s a shuttle
You know what, I think it hasn’t fully sunk in for me how fucking awesome this sounds. I guess I just saw “shuttle coaster” and went EWWWW, but this sounds like it could be #1 material for me
I really don’t get the aversion to a shuttle outside of capacity concerns, truthfully. Chiller, Moonsault Scramble, and Flash are/were pretty great shuttles, it’s not like it’s unheard of for them to be something special.
Capacity wouldn't even be that bad with a turntable, which this would most likely have. Don't get the complaints tbh.
At this point I’m convinced the complaints are solely because it would replace Ka. If this was going anywhere else, people’s heads would explode.
I get it, losing Ka sucks, especially with no prior announcement, but being perpetually angry about it is just unhealthy. Realistically Ka probably wouldn’t have been around in 5 years regardless.
You didn't match up distances and scales on your screenshots. Wild One should be much larger and appears to be roughly half of it's actual size on the image you posted.
The spinning alone is going to be off-putting to a decent amount of guests, particularly if that's occurring at very high speeds.
A super extreme, super intimidating coaster that’s replacing a super extreme, super intimidating coaster ideally shouldn’t appeal to everyone. The goal for a project like this should be to appeal to high thrill seekers, which is inherently exclusionary.
