Secret Weapon 6 Revealed

In this faraway park, Alton Towers, England, an Intamin AG roller coaster has been revealed. There have been 3 (or 5 if you count cancelled) Secret Weapons:

Secret Weapon 3:

Nemesis (B&M Inverted Coaster)
Opened: 3/19/1994
Height: 42 ft.
Drop: 104 ft.
Speed: 50 mph
Length: 2349 ft.

Secret Weapon 4:

Oblivion (B&M Dive Machine)
Opened: 3/14/1998
Height: 65 ft.
Drop: 180 ft.
Speed: 68 mph
Length: 1222 ft.

Secret Weapon 5:

Air
(B&M Flying Coaster)
Opened: 3/16/2002
Height: 65 ft.
Drop: 65 ft.
Speed: 46 mph
Length: 2755 ft.

And now there is...

Secret Weapon 6:

Surrender (Intamin AG (first time on "Secret Weapons") ???)
Opening: 3/2010

The stats are unknown. It is said to be a world's first.

Corkscrew, an Arrow Dynamics looper, closed last year in 2008. In its place will house Surrender. I like the name; it sounds so treacherous! :O Also, for the first time on a "secret weapon," Alton Towers is not using B&M, but using Intamin! Whoa! I thought it was going to be B&M, but little did I know, I was far-out WRONG! XD.

I wonder when Florida will get an Intamin...
