Screaming Squirrel or Next-Gen Wild Mouse

Has anyone else seen this new Coaster concept. Based in part on traditional Wild Mice coasters, this new Ride drops you passed 90 degrees, try 180 degrees!!! Yes, this new coaster actually travels upside down directly below the track you just came from. The prototype below shows that hills are capable and exactly how compact and space saving this design really is. I'll post a real pic in a sec. Anyone heard what parks may get this first. I see as a cheap, land saving, high thrill concept that will flood the parks much like Vertical Drop rides have the past few years.

C'mon Mom...let's go...I'll hold your hand while we ride!!!

It'll be fun...looks like it's gonna ROCK actually!
Now, they say that it's a steep "lift" hill...but...it IS S&S power...and they use a lot of "compressed air"...

I wonder if they'd be able to put a "space shot" boost on the lift...
WHOA...TALK ABOUT FUN!!!

Good Question, I was pondering that myself last night. I have no clue. Unless you load at the Top? or maybe on the upright bottom (but would they throw you upside down from the start? I doubt it. I would guess there are more elements that are installed in the real ride. Propably a flat turn area at the bottom rather than an upside-down flip.

Notice the shoulder harness and lap restraint. Designed with comfort in mind and the illusion of less safety. Gotta love it.
