I'm leaning towards it being one of the cars / train. It has to be somewhat unique as the rollercoaster is going upside down, but there will not be traditional shoulder harnesses. I'm curious to see how it will look in all its glory. :)

I am sure it will be something unique. I must say they are going all out with this ride. I mean even the tarp covering what ever is going to be revealed, has a huge logo on it!

With the millions they have spent on the ride itself...a few bucks on a custon tarp is a drop in the bucket! Man would I love that tarp though...it'd make a nice grill cover! If I ever buy a jeep, I will have a big SDC axe emblazoned on the spare tire on the back!

They tweeted out a pic of the coach but it is small. http://social.silverdollarcity.com/OS2  We need an up close one.

Ugh! Such a tease Silver Dollar City is even with the tarp removed. They just had to go with a small wide pan picture.  :P

The smell of asphalt and butane says home!

Seems gravity group is putting a barrel roll using timberliner trains on Hades at MT. Olympus as a response.

GCI introduced a neat, small footprint wood shuttlecoaster today as well.

So there will be three 'wooden' coasters with inversions next summer, each with different configurations of wood and steel... I'm sure the enthusiasts will wear themselves out debating which one is the 'true' wooden coaster.

Here are some better photos of the trains:

The restraints don't look great to me on first glance. I'm still over-joyed that they aren't OTSR's, but there doesn't look to be much space to put your legs at all. I'm sure they're better IRL, but I'm also sure bigger people are going to have a problem here.

Those are some great pics shave, hoping there is leg room for the riders.... LOL.. I wont be one of them, But i hope all of you can get in there!!!

Maybe they are similar to PK restraint. If I remember correct do those not get pushed in a slant motion? Would that not accomodate a thicker thigh?

TPR's first video update from IAAPA includes footage of the unveiling plus several great interviews with Joel Manby,  Pete Herschend, and Alan Schilke. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1247233#p1247233

Another interesting note, S&S has a new tower design with higher capacity.... Consider some of the concept artwork we've seen from the park in recent years, this could be something they've looked into.

Seating is round, as well as the tower. Seems intamin struck out with forward tilting seats, will other come up with a better design to do this? S&S now has new Japanese owners.

Mamby and Pete both seem to be "pumped" up about the project..!
