Ok, I think I might be getting confused here. So let me try to clear some things out.

I know that they are thinking about expanding Sky Wheel. Is that what you are talking about Eastcoaster? Having a loop and a cobra roll.

But they are also building the regular Sky Wheel plus a few extra elements correct?

Well, how many 'new' inverters out there have 'just' a lap bar to hold you in? Not many. Plus have you not seen the lift hill? To me that look pretty insane. You cant please everyone I suppose. Personally I'm really looking forward to it. Your telling me that you wouldnt be exited if one of these was installed at your local theme park? Are you one of those who judges coasters by their size? If so, biggest isnt always best.

The X car has some of the craziest layouts I've ever seen. If you look at the site at some of the layouts you'll see what I mean.
Some tracks have "sea saw" track. The train goes on at one end and the track tips forward connecting to another part of track.

All they are going to do is add onto the Skywheel that is already up and running...I don't think they are building another one.

I think that there is already a Sky Wheel built. http://www.rcdb.com/qs.htm?quicksearch=skywheel This is the one I am taking about. This ride might also get a an expansion.

Now this is a way different Sky Wheel with a little more kick too it. http://www.rcdb.com/id3185.htm
