First Skywarp has been sold

[IndyGuy4KI]

Orlando, FL, USA - Skyline Attractions has altered the landscape of thrill rides with its latest scream maker- Skywarp. As part of the company's third anniversary, Skyline is excited to announce the sale of their first of many Skywarps, which will make its public debut in the summer of 2018.

Where do you see it being  installed?

I'm surprised I had a little difficulty finding this on their site, but this is what it looks like

I don't know what park might be getting it but I would assume not a large one. 

Very curious to see it in action. I guess it works similarly to a Larson Looper but two trains?

It lists capacity at 800 an hour so slightly higher than a boomerang.  Jeff Pike actually mentioned this at Coasterstock, he announced it was sold but provided no clues as to where it was going.  I am leaning towards Six Flags.

 

Assuming the art and model are accurate this might actually be classified as a coaster unlike a Larson Loop.  On a Larson loop the train is continuous around the entire loop, this appears to not be continuous.  The only question mark might be is the train coasting at some point?  Which is what prevents a ride like Surf Dog from being a coaster.

How would SIX market this since most of their parks already have the Larson Loops? 

However, I wouldn't mind seeing CF go after these if they work out elsewhere.  It'd be a cool ride for X-Base.

I believe there are 5 Six Flags parks without Larson loops.  I see no issues installing a Skywarp in those parks.

Maybe Magic Mountain so they can promote it as the park's 20th coaster, since Six Flags already considers the Larson Loops coasters.

While I definitely see Magic Mountain as a possibility in the future, the IAPPA announcement steers another direction. Six Flags generally announces all at once early September. So where makes more sense at least to me. One of the Fun Spot parks, especially the newly acquired Fun Junction. Both Skyline and Fun Spot are based in the same general area. Fun Spot has worked with Skyline before. Adding such attraction an attraction to the newest family member would help show their intentions and plans for the park without breaking the budget. Could be for the Orlando location but I'll place my final guess on Fun Junction (or is it Fun Spot Atlanta now?).

 

In response to is it a coaster, nah I'd count Surf Dog before this. BTW it is one continuous train like the Larson variety just with two sets of cars.

 

Edit after watching the video again well kinda like the continuous train on the Larson's it's still one train appearing as two separate ones but it doesn't connect back to itself. So coaster non coaster classification a bit more blurry.

This doesn't look particularly fun. I'm sure it would be a great addition at smaller parks/carnivals/fairs but I don't really see a place in big parks. Especially when they are already dumping boomerangs because of the capacity.

[KIBeast]

At the same time, I don't think capacity is the only issue. Seems like popularity would be far more of an issue than capacity
