The one everyone knows about is the L:TH:B layout. The recent supports show that if this layout is true (which is probably the case), the twist going up would be 90 degrees and going down the other side would twist 270 degrees in the opposite direction....
Someone posted this theory and I must say that they at least put some thought into it (unlike many others)....
They suggested that the new coaster would shoot up and pull a 90 degree twist into a top hat. This tophat would lead you into a very steep 400 + foot straight drop onto MF Island (this would be exactly like going down MF except it would be 100+ feet taller and your starting speed would be at least 20 mph!!!). It would then do any number of things on the island, and since we cannot see work being done there we have no clue of knowing. After the island, it returns the same way it came, and then pules a 90 degree twist straight down on the second side of the original tower into the final break run.
I've heard stories about land clearing on the island but also heard replies saying that the island has looked like that since the construction of MF. The fact that there is no actual supports on the island could be because MF was still running until 4 days ago... or because there are going to be NO supports. This theory could also explain that missing break run piece, but they will have to bring in equiptment to un-dam the lagoon eventually, so that could also explain the missing track. So in the end, like my past 3 sentences state, it can really go either way.
One other note.. I think there is WAY TOO LITTLE TRACK for this layout idea.
People still seem to try and find someway to convince themselves its not a L:TH:B layout, so this theory is at least possible.. but in my opinion... not likely.
I for one still lean towards the L:TH:B layout.. and I'm DAMN EXCITED.

Where are the support connections on the tower to hold the track that will go down the other side? Oh.. there are none? I thought so.
That, and there simply isn't enough track.

how can u be so sure that there is not enough track i'm sure there is more track to come to the park
Anyways, I still don't think it is safe to make judgements yet. It is still early in the offseason, and now consturction will really start to speed up. Especially on the tower.

and Raptor too.
When I see a definite footer path that circles back around to where a presumptive station will be located, I will belive the L-TH-B theory, but untill then...
