Since this seems very similar to the TTD clue, I'm going to disagree since the leaked letter said the ride was 176 feet. 21 Stories is over 200 feet, so unless this coaster is a hyper, which I would love, I'm thinking:
0 - G roll
91 degree drop
97 second ride duration
7 inversions
and 2 keyholes - 21 meters (69 feet) above the front gate.

It's all speculation, and if you read the recent blog report on All American Thrills, Walter Bolliger told Kent Bachmann (Herhsey) directly they (B&M) would never do a launch coaster.

Yeah, B&M have been recently thinking about doing a launch coaster....but I doubt it'll be this project (or this year for that matter). So yes, B&M WOULD do a launch SSL488, however, not with this ride.
And of course it's speculation, we won't know for certain what these numbers mean until the announcement (if we even fit the numbers in then).
Yeah, but Intamin is well... Intamin. I'm not saying Wing Riders in general are bad designs for launched coasters, just the B&M ones. B&M coasters are great, but in my opinion, they just aren't nearly as innovative as Intamin is with their coasters.
B&M just seems to be more 'cautious' with their coasters and would rather have them up and running on time. Intamin seems to want to have more high tech rides, but pays the price with a lot of mechanical problems.
So if B&M was to make a launch coaster, I wouldn't think they would try it out with a wing coaster
