Too bad the name is already taken
...or I think we'd need to consider the name "Vertigo" for our new ride.
Note to self: Stop watching the ride simulation.

Paula, your killin me. Just when I think its one thing, I start thinking another. For some reason I think there are 2 ride simulations. I thought about it this morning and revelations of hey... Will Koch IS a German showmen. Hmmmmm... Then there is the Gravity Group reference, you mentioned how tall Korey was, and well they did design the Triton Tower at Mt. Olympus.

Did you catch the Twitter comment? Putting together a ride fact sheet Or two
I think Paula is messing around with us by mixing hints for two different new rides, plus the infamous new technology.
That, or this will be like the Crazy Mouse ride we had a the state fair, where the cars started spinning wildly around halfway through. (Have to re-watch the Splinter video on the Gravity Group site).

What about Deja Vu from Six Flags?
The hints are there: it has a "lift", its not like ordinary coasters, and its like "In-vertigo" at Kings Island
It makes sense!

cameron you are a genious. but where does it fit in in the family rides category? always remember: to every thought there is a hitch. thats why i think that its a family suspended coaster from vekoma. new kind of ride that has been around for a long time. korey was just a hint that its a roller coaster.

I did some searching on What Vertigo Means.... Here is what I have found out.....
Vertigo (from the Latin vertere, to turn, and the suffix -igo, a condition, i.e., "a condition of turning about"[1]) is a specific type of dizziness, a major symptom of a balance disorder. It is the sensation of spinning or swaying while the body is stationary with respect to the surroundings.
There are two types of vertigo: subjective and objective. There is a subjective vertigo when a person has a false sensation of movement. In the case of objective vertigo, the surroundings appear to move past a person's field of vision.

Could this be what "we" are getting? ---> Japan - (8/19/08) A new transportation system based on the concept of a roller coaster will be tested in Japan under the name Eco Ride. The idea is to remove the drive system from the passenger cars making them much lighter and able to use a cheaper track and support system, similar to what you would find used for a roller coaster. The test line will be constructed in the China Experiment Station of ISS in China Prefecture and use a series of “drive units” to pull the cars to the top of an elevated piece of track where it will then run downhill towards either the next station or to another section of drive units who will raise it up once again, just like a roller coaster. The cost to install a system like is this expected to be about 10% of that of a light rail system or 20% of the cost of a monorail system.

I'm going to add my two-cents. I think its a Skater model from Zamperla. Very similar to Avatar at Kings Island except the ride vehicle will resemble the Mayflower and therefore be able to fit in the Thanksgiving area. (Spinning, up-down and back-forth.

What about a Mountain Glider?

Worlds tallest waterslide, It all fits.
Gravity Group makes water tower complexes, world tallest designer, tall, fast, it could use a new tube stlye that would allow paula to ride In back.
Two fact sheets, two slides.
BUt for it to work like no other, You load at the bottom and the tube goes up an elevator to get to the top.
It makes sense in my mind

I like where Jonathon's head is at. Paula could be hinting at more than one ride. Of course they'd probably have to be two smaller rides. I'm going with some type of record breaking large water ride or water coaster AND a spinning flat ride.
