someone else said it but if i didnt know better it appears the last half of the ride is backwards with a launch system. I know prints are not showing what is underneath but wow... looks interesting! This may be 4000ft plus on the length. Its going all the way back to wilderness theatre
Is the lift the part with the black rectangle under it or is that the brakes?
EDIT: I'm trying to view the layout on my phone so it's hard to see.

I assume the brakes.
Regarding the resident complaints, it sounds like igNight is a lot worse than a roller coaster for them. Hank also claimed that IW's drop was to the north, but that involved a turnaround at the top, whereas this coaster does not.

It looks like part of the ride goes over the far right seating areas of the Wildness Theater. Are they removing part of it?

space wise it looks to take up about the same area as viper, maybe just a little longer. I'd guess they'll level the theater, the structure for the ride is way fatter than the line.

Plus, it would be hard to stage a show there with that coaster flying by over it.
Based on the height chart SFGAm provided, it looks like (estimates based on the picture I took of their provided chart).
Station elevation 20 feet (old Iron Wolf station) First drop 165 + 13 [+/-] (underground) = 178' Second drop 120 feet Third drop 59 feet Fourth drop 100 feet - strange this is higher then the prior hill by 40 feet and this is where the strange track is on the layout. Fifth drop 80 feet 6th (double drop) is about 63 Final and 7th drop is about 55
The 13' underground is how they will get the additional speed needed for a world record.
Cannot tell how tight/banked the 2 turns above Wilderness Theater are going to be.

From what the park PR person said it is staying. It only goes over 6 rows of seat and only at the far East side of the theater. Plus it will be pretty high up.
