Sounds like the "stirring" would be the elements from the loop to the 2nd launch and "remove from heat" could be a tunnel or something of that nature? Not really sure thats my guess! Good thoughts on flyers being incorporated! if they are being built where we think they are, then it could be possible the theme will tie in some how! Not sure why it would be named flying eagles though! Looking forward to others thoughts on this one, as its a tough one!

That's exactly my thoughts, the stirring being the loop, the possible inversion, and the helix right before launch 2's brake run (removing from heat)

I think that this post is referencing either the mid course brake run before the second launch or the end of the ride. If it is talking about slowing down before the second launch, then next weeks teaser should be to heat the mixture again

I hope so too. I have never been on cobra's curse, only spinning thing I did was the exterminator at Kennywood, and it was....different....

I think so to, while I hope there is no braking before the 2nd launch I think you might be right, I am hoping it means a tunnel for the 2nd launch but I dont know. I do agree that it may say "heat again" if they go from the 2nd launch on to the end, although I am hoping they will have a hint at the overbank or whatever element is after the 2nd launch and its height, have been waiting on that one for a while! Only 2 more clues left...

Not that I have any reason to suspect this would be the case but...does anyone else think a launched 4D coaster would be kinda cool? Imagine a launched X2, but made by a competent company. You could still be facing forward for the launches but then have a controlled rolling motion through the rest of the ride. That would remedy what I suspect to be the commonly perceived problem with the spinner.

Thoughts?

Based on recent shipping information found by this Reddit comment, I would assume this is a standard model and not a spinner.

I think you are right with the stirring referencing everything between launch 1 and launch 2, with a brake run prior to launch 2 to remove the heat. I still don't think this will be a spinner, the recent shipping labels mentioning "Dual Launch Coaster" while all the Time Traveler shipping labels listed "X-TREME Coaster"

Going through all the speculation, I didn't see what I'd think would be an obvious guess - could 530 be the coaster height? That'd be ridiculously huge - nearly 75 ft above the second tallest coaster anywhere - but everything seems to revolve around hyping the idea of "big".
