Will stand-ups ever have Cobra Rolls?

I'm just hoping a new B&M stand-up will be built period. I'd love it at one of the Texas parks. I know SFAW has B:TE, but it is a bit aged and I would like to ride a newer B&M stand-up. I'm hoping to make a trip to SFoG this year and ride Georgia Scorcher, but I wouldn't mind a stand-up to replace JR at SFFT.
I think cobra rolls are overdone and don't really provide any serious thrills. However, on a stand up it may be pretty cool.
I wouldn't mind seeing another stand up with a heartline spin! Why has that only been done once?

The 2 videos feature more than 50 parks and coasters!

This may be a wild idea, but will there ever be inverted stand ups?

scoaster, isn't S:UF and AIR close enough for you? You're almost standing on it, and the seats tilt back, making it about the only way of being able to ride while standing on an inverted coaster with no floor. If you want a floor, why would you want it inverted then? It would be like riding in a nice steel box.

It might be a while before we see one built, but I think when one does get built, it could very well turn some heads to those that may have forgotten about the concept. Perhaps some even newer inversions like a batwing would be incorporated?

When we see another stand-up, and we will, it will either be taller/faster than RRv, and/or feature new inversions...and it will be when, not if....the question I have is, why do these things (Beemer stand-ups) age so quickly...


I already started a topic about Inverted Standups because I saw some blueprints to one. And I think it would be possible.

You have to remember that that Shockwave does not have a zero-g roll because in stand up position it's really different(and it's a ouchy mama:()
