Hasn't this been done before? Still, I would be excited to see how convincing the effect is.

Gonna call my shot on this tech now:
It's gonna be for a Mario Cart themed coaster, and this will be to simulate a boost from back of the pack to the front.

It is for the Mario Kart which Japan will have first and then Uni Hollywood,
Then will be the Fantastic Worlds with the Donkey Kong coaster, will only be in Florida only.
At least that is the rumors going on, Plus hearing that MACK will be doing a coaster for Universal for themeing .Which is either for Orlando, or for Universal Beijing. But nothing has been released from Uni, so until they make the announcement, it is just rumor or spec

MACK is currently working on an inverted power coaster similar to Arthur themed to Jurassic World at Universal Studios Beijing.
