This sounds like Kennywood is trying to build a remake of Maverick at CP. The coaster will be manufactured by Premier Rides which sounds interesting since they haven't built a new launched coaster lately that I know of.
The name hasn't been announced yet either, but more info is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
