I'd assume this is the layout, and the 120º drop is one of the inversions... http://www.s-spower.com/rides/images/elloco.jpg

If you look at the picture. It looks like as it comes off the lift it does a turn where it leans you off the edge to the outside of the turn. It then transitions into the 120 degree drop. Looks loco to me. I wish I could see the full layout. It's less than 80 seconds long. And I'm guessing 30-40 seconds of that is lift/braking so it will be a quick ride, but should be intense.

Also... SFG, if you look at this layout, the drop is a legitimate 120 degree drop as opposed to a half-loopish inversion

We will just have to see which one is the true layout.

13 2 was a guess, and yet now we know the stats, and still have no clue of why the thirteen amigos comment.
I doubt they keep the Steel Hawg name, Steel Hawg is already a registered trademark for Milwaukee Tool Company.
I liked that whole sinister corn thing maybe they will theme it with that. *** Edited 11/28/2007 7:16:08 PM UTC by woohooboy***

^OK, for those still having anagram difficulties:

CAW BET THIRTEEN AMIGOS - It might be a new coaster

AWAITS ERECTIONS - It is a new coaster

This has been a production of Anagrams 4 U - visit our website at:

;)

Anagrams are usually created as clever word play that relates to the subject(the first term). For example, the traditional: ELEVEN PLUS TWO = TWELVE PLUS ONE, the anagram directly relates to the aforementioned topic. Since CAW BET THIRTEEN AMIGOS did translate to "it might be a new coaster," then the coaster that might be would relate to thirteen amigos. As amigos does relate to the "EL LOCO COASTER," I assumed THIRTEEN would also play *** Edited 11/29/2007 5:03:17 PM UTC by woohooboy***

Huh? Please post in English, woohooboy.

What? You know everything about all amusement parks but don't know how to interpret gibberish? Geez...

;)

Edited gibberish, Rob ;)

^You need an English-> Gibberish translator...

....and, per Gonch's instructions, my rates have gone up... :)

Now you're a 'premium' or 'upscale' translator.

Good for you. :)

^I prefer the term "boutique". Means I can charge even more.

I also offer "instant translation" in real time...comes with the Premium Package.

...this message sponsored by the NFL Network...

Gator - I'll pay you to translate Chuck Nungester's posts too...I can rarely understand what he says either! lol

Just don't advertise your services as free, otherwise Gonch will take issue with you ;)

An anagram sounds like you just rearrange the letters to equal another phrase.

So ELEVEN PLUS TWO = TWELVE PLUS ONE because

Look at eleven plus two, and you want to make another phrase out of it.

In eleven, there are 3 E's, 1 L, 1 V, and 1 N. In Two, there are 1 of each letter: T, W, and an O.

So, Twelve comes from the 2 E's, 1 L, 1 T, 1 V and 1 W of ELEVEN and TWO. Of course, you get ONE from 1 N (of Eleven), 1 O (From Two), and 1 E (From Eleven). I guess you just add the PLUS to both phrases.

Basically, what he's saying is THIRTEEN AMIGOS is part of the anagram phrase, and it doesn't translate into 13 friends. I hate these anagrams.

Yes. To read more about what an anagram is, visit http://wordsmith.org/anagram/

All palindromes are anagrams, but few anagrams are palindromes.

"Louis XIII, the King of France during early seventeenth century, appointed a Royal Anagrammatist for a handsome salary."

Why don't they pay for this service anymore? ;)

Some cool anagrams:

Clint Eastwood = Old West Action
Western Union = No Wire Unsent
Evangelist = Evil's Agent
Desperation = A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code = Here Come Dots
Conversation = Voices Rant On
Mother-in-law = Woman Hitler
A Domesticated Animal = Docile, as a Man Tamed it
The Public Art Galleries = Large Picture Halls, I Bet
George Bush = He bugs Gore

This one is way cool:
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." astronaut Neil A. Armstrong = A thin man ran; makes a large stride; left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!

This one is appropriate:
Do an angry hit = Tonya Harding

...and of course the one I mentioned earlier in this thread that happened to make it into the IB Blog hints:

Mr. Mojo risin' = Jim Morrison

Anyone care to come up with an anagram for "way too much free time"? ;)

It took hardly any time to copy/paste those from the anagram site, Rob ;)

I figured that and directed the comment at the people who came up with them (even though my smiley didn't make that obvious). I wish I had the free time to create anagrams of famous quotes!
