I think once the TA2K become even more popular. S&S should take their invention a step further. S&S should creat the inverted TA2K. Your feet are dangling while you're launched at 80 or 107 mph in 1.8 seconds. That would be extreme. Who else agrees that this would be an awsome ride?

yeah that would be sweet, and the turnaround could be an inversion into a straight down dive

I think if S&S Power play their cards right they could have some awesome coasters and become one of the best coster companies out there. I would love to see them build an air launced inverted coaster!

Although this idea is excellent, it's impractical. First of all, draw a picture of the hill on Hypersonic. Imagine going over top. "Cresting" that hill on an inverted would be painful... at least 5 and a half G's? Unless they did a half twist (kinda like the twist on S:UE and the impulses) before and after, turning it into an inverion of some sort.

How would you do the vertical ascent and descent? Otherwise its a good idea. I always wanted a floorless coaster that was launched.

Awesome idea. I'm a big fan of S&S and they should concentrate on making more coasters now. Who knows how extreme they could get!

It would be kinda weird, but I think they could pull it off. You could be on the inside of the hill though, and that would be kind of painful. Unless you went through the entire hill inverted, like someone else said.

It seems to me that all they would have to do for the hill is make an elongated vertical loop, kinda like a Top Hat that goes that exits in the entry direction
