The first drop will be quite small, even for a 95 degree angle. I can picture how small it'll actually be. However... there is a lot of track length... a little over 4000'.
What I might be disappointed in is that they could really make the coaster pretzal in all different directions over the pond, but I dont think they do. I'm not whining, but it'd have been nice to see a coaster take some tips from New England's Superman's 2nd half.
Is that entire flat launch area all covered & in darkness? If so... are there any rolls associated with it?
This coaster will look GREAT, but trees... let's face it, people... they will be rather small & will take time to grow in. It's not going to look the way they want it for at least 5yrs.

I meant "joke" in the meaning that he wasn't being serious when he typed his post. More of a "mock" of what this thread has become.
Then there's the other "joke" as in stand-up comedian joke.

You're thinking about the S&S Screaming Squirrel coasters. Right now there are currently three of them in operation:

I'm not sure how those figure into the steepest drop rankings. Should they be considered 175 degree drops (or whatever the actual angle is)?
Otherwise the Gerstlauer Euro-Fighters hold the current record for steepest drop at 97 degrees.

The sqrill coaster the that domino feature is called the saxophone, I thought it was cool, they have things like it at the fair.
Maybe the tunnel is the longest, non underground tunnel?
Actually I really don't care, but I think it would be aweosme if CP released this picture just to draw us in a certain direction, then add a new twist or something to the coaster, so that if they add something new then it'll be sweet.
Go Bucks.
