Seems everybody's clearly perfect system for coaster heights has been proven wrong. I insisted that the parks/companies will name 400ft whatever they feel like to add to the ride experience, not follow some absurd rule that it goes hyper, giga, tera...
Aside from that little tangent...
DAY-AM!
I think that this is a ride worthy of the height/speed records. It certainly looks like it deserves it more than S:TE/TOT did, and it looks better than Dodonpa (plus its not from S&S, but that's just getting personal).
One (perhaps two) trick pony - sure, that's a given, but who can argue with them. They are the best damn tricks in the book.
Six trains - that seems odd. The concept art shows them stacking (two in station, two waiting outside, with one launching and the other cresting), so I'd say that is saying something there.

So what if the best coaster in Australia is a second hand Arrow?
"It will not be called Dragster!"
"There's no way that thing is 400 feet high!"
Guess they were all wrong eh? ;) Just had to say it. Even though I basically knew whaat was coming, I still got all giddy this morning when I opened up the main page!!! Awesome job Cedar Point! And the name aint that bad, let the acronyms begin! TTD! ;)

Just don't be stupid. It's really not that hard.
