Speed
The launch would have to be a lot faster than 100mph to get up to 400'. Xcelerator goes 85mph to get up 205' only. 100mph probably not even make it to 300'. How fast would you say #16 is going to go?

How about this... It'll be between 400 and 450 feet tall and go between 110 and 120 mph? :)

Jeff has pretty much already hinted in other posts that it will go somewhere between 110-120 mph. So its not gonna be a whole lot faster than 100mph.

Still faster than any other coaster.......

Check your physics book friend... that's not the way gravity works. If Magnum goes 72 mph, a 400-foot ride will not go 144.

magnum goes 72 and is a 205 foot drop, mille goes 92 and is a 300 foot drop the speed is not proportional to the drop if it was mille would go 108mph so 110-120 could easily get us up a 400 foot hill
first off, ThePoint is talking about launch speed, not maximum velocity. To compare any coaster with a lift hill to ThePoint's question about the speed of a LAUNCHED coaster is just way off. Secondly, ThePoint, you are wrong either way. Jeff and Worked made correct points but for incorrect reasons.
