Surely this one has the potential to be a top 10 worldwide? Mostly due to the spinning element

The stall is in.
The more track i see go up the more this coaster interests me.
A retaining wall is coming along well for the out and back section of the coaster.
Finally a look at the station.

I think it's Intamin's answer to Vekoma's Cosmic Rewind model meets RCT3 drift coaster? I though this would have a controlled drift/rotation compared to Mack's model, but I could be wrong!

Yes, it's a controlled rotation. This is to ensure the cars are facing away from the nearby residential areas as much as possible.

You could say it like that, or just see it as a further development of their already existing family spinning coaster model (Objectif Mars, Futuroscope).

Cars going on the track. They are the size of literal cars;

I think this is the case, and it’s also a reference to real-life dazzle camouflage, which car manufacturers use to disguise the bodywork of prototype cars from prying eyes!Mabey just a cover as to not spoil the real car wrap

Super cool touch by Universal here! I love that they’re going the extra mile by theming the pre-opening process.

Intamin designs the sexiest custom trains and these are no exception!
It's easier to watch the new teaser frame-by-frame on Youtube
I'm dying to see more of the spinning! It seems to spin much faster/aggressively than I was expecting — not just a slow controlled rotation or drifting effect. It looks more like a Mack Extreme Spinner than a 'Cosmic Rewind'.
If you watch carefully at timestamp 0:16, it appears that cars 1 and 3 are spinning clockwise while cars 2 and 4 are spinning counterclockwise (or I should say anticlockwise around here). It would be a fun moment if the cars locked-in facing one another during a booster launch — some forwards, some backwards.

Wasn’t this done like a month ago?

Why does this thread have swing launch in the name? The ride doesn't have a swing launch.

The initial concept art on page 1 of the thread showed a backward spike, likely from an early iteration of the ride. Obviously it's changed since those renders were made.
