I grabbed an image from the animation and figured it looks like the first drop is going to be around 55°, so slightly steeper than Timber Wolf. Definitely going to be a lot more intense than old Zinger's drop.
I'm mostly going off of what GCI has said a few times in interviews at IAAPA, that they want to make sure their rides maintain the experience of a wooden coaster. I'd absolutely love to see GCI do full Titan rehabs and ground ups. They can start with Timber Wolf because that thing still sucks...
I think one interesting thing about the reveal of this coaster, along with with what GCI has said in interviews, is it seems they are committed to building wooden coasters and want to stay that way. It seems like the purpose of the Titan track is simply to allow their wooden coasters to do...
I know GCI isn't really known for innovation and breaking records, but a part of me hopes they're going to try to do something a little wild since they made it clear that they want to compete with RMC.

I've been keeping an eye on it for the past few weeks just in case, but trademarks can take up to a year to get approved and don't generally show up in the database for several months after they're submitted. Rides are generally announced long before TESS tips anything off...
I've had a gut feeling this was going to be a family coaster since the early rumors that it was a modern version of Zinger. The only family coaster that WOF has right now is Spinning Dragons and those spinners don't always appeal to everyone. As much as I'd be disappointed, a family wooden...
I think simply being the only hybrid in this region could be enough of a selling point. I could definitely be wrong, but it's hard seeing GCI breaking any records.
All of those cities are in between so much that it's easier for those parks to become destinations. KC is unfortunately kind of out...
