DiSab Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 ^If it is in fact a launch. The track build is definitely very similar (if not the same) as Premier's new launch track, but it could be a Premier hyper. (I don't see that happening, but I'm just playing devil's advocate - because I can. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah, assuming that's what it is, of course. Either way, I'm sure it's still going to be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Ferrari World's Premier launch coaster... Courtesy of Theme Park Guy No not Premier, it's an Intamin, and it looks like this one is the same. So a new Intamin is going to KD. Â It's a newly developed track system that Intamin have created to get an even stronger and stiffer track then the quad, to have longer distances between the supports, which means less supports, to make the manufacturing and ride cheaper. I also have a feeling that this dual spine track is a lot easier to manufacture then quad-rail as well. Â So no this is not a new Premier, pure Intamin awesomeness...

FeelTheFORCE Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 That's pretty cool, I didn't know Intamin was developing new track. Completely dis-regard everything I just said then. Â What I'm curious about then, is what sounds this track will produce. Assuming it's not filled with sand. Some Premiers are somewhat loud, and since this track is similar, could Intamin now have their own distinct "roar?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 No not Premier, it's an Intamin, and it looks like this one is the same. So a new Intamin is going to KD. Â If it's an Intamin, I'm already making travel plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 All I'm hoping for is that it's not a launcher & has a lift instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkdcoaster Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I just got back from the park. Just 6 pieces of track and a lot of tiny support pieces around. Â I think it is an Intamin. but we will see. Â here are some close up pics. Â JEFF little baby supports left these pieces are MASSIVE notice the different connections to the supports. Some square and some circular. looks like a straight piece...but it is not cone shaped crossties for extra support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdupuis Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 That doesn't look too much intamin. Remebers me of an suspended water coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuschSchoe Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The first photo that pkdcoaster posted really leads me to believe that this is indeed an Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfreak519 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I do think its an Intamin also, the crossties look like Intamin's work. Â Also: looks like CF is getting yet another McDonald's themed coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I am caught in the middle... I know the manufacturers are definitely the same in terms of the two coasters but I starting to think that the Intamin track modification is true. I mean if I look at the most recent Premier coaster track which is mummy track being built at Universal Studios Singapore then the KD and F1 tracks looks nothing like something premier would do in terms of cross ties. They look more like traditional Intamin track in terms of cross ties  see the mummy track here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I was just at Universal Orlando a month ago and that Singapore Mummy track looks no different in any way than the current Mummy track in Orlando. Â There are pretty significant differences in those tracks. You can definitely see the Intamin in this new KD track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yea so it leads me to believe that it just may be Intamin.... But why didn't they use this new track on I-speed or are they only using this track on very large scale coasters now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdupuis Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Then...can it be a vekoma... Cuz honestly, that doesn't look at all of a Intamin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad5871 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I think it looks more Intamin than Vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddycoasterkid Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 ^ OMG its a Premier ride, think about it it's everything the same as the F1 coaster at Dubialand and thats a Premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccron10 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Is it me or do the curves on the track pieces from the previous page hardly have a curve on them? The double spine does make me wonder what are they planning. I can't see track like this being used on a low to the ground coaster. If they wanted to do a Maverick-style ride, they could've easily used the basic trianglular track used before. The second spine must somehow add strength to the track when strong forces are being used. Â How big is the construction site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Am I the only one that thinks the double spine looks really ugly? Anyways, I really really really do hope it's an Intamin and not a Premier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 It might be the new Vekoma hypers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arson Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 If the track was built with a double-spine so they could put up less supports, why do a few of these pieces still have two connections for supports? That doesn't make sense to me. I would like to propose a theory: Â What if this double-spine track is really to hold a larger train (perhaps four-across)? Or possibly a Baco-style train? Because, with the pieces they have there now, I'm not really seeing a correlation between more spines and less supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
