That color scheme is definitely unique. I don't think Great America has any other blue roller coasters. The layout looks pretty solid too.

Yeah, that layout looks sick. I prefer these inversion-focused element lineups on B&M vest coasters since the airtime experience is so muted in the vests. Neat theme, novel paint, sweet layout, unique for the park and market, and a big B&M is just always a good addition operationally. Seems like a huge win for SFGAm all around!
Also, on that note, shout-out to legacy Six Flags management. This was one of their projects and it looks like they were on the right track with this one.
Also also, anyone find a good, high-res piece of concept art yet? I'd love to add a thread header imagine.

Impromptu mock-up of how the space is utilized based on what I could grasp from the teaser videos.

^Very impressive placement there, glad to see Demon is staying!
Sorry, should have specified something not covered in text. Nothing some Photoshop can't fix though I suppose. Thank you!
This has the potential to be the best dive coaster ever. It looks like a fantastic package: tall enough to feel dominating like the 200 ft hyper dives, no mid-course brake run, a long layout, and inversion-driven instead of airtime-hill-driven... looks great.
Looks great! I've never done a Dive Coaster since Valravn was shut down when I was last at Cedar Point. The color is so unique for the park, too! I don't think we've had a blue coaster since ShockWave closed!
This will contribute heavily to the "feeling surrounded by massive coasters" vibe at Great America as well.
I must be missing something about the neat theme, because it doesn't seem to have any. The Six Flags New England press release had some nice copy about the storyline and the animation shows theme elements, but I'm getting absolutely nothing here. The animation shows a very generic station and train.
To be clear, I don't have a problem with a big roller coaster just being that, but I think it's funny they went with such a weird name without seeming to put any effort into that theme.
They could have just called it Titan, given they are already have a Goliath. (Goliath actually has some inkling of theme though, to be fair).

The Demonic Knot like manuver works really well. Excited to see how this pans out!
Didn't see the website posted.
The permit for the foundations was submitted today.
Village of Gurnee | One-Stop Shop Permitting & Licensing
Edit: Note the Building Fee is $15300 on the permit. The Village of Gurnee fee for amusement ride permits is 1% the estimated construction cost, so the foundation work is estimated to cost $1.53 million.

I took a screenshot of the foundation plan that was in Chicago Coaster Guy's latest video.
