4 pieces up WOW they're going fast Courtesy of www.intimidator.carowinds.com

^yeah, if you're going up the lift on TM when a plane is coming by it feels like it's coming right at you.

i really hate it when people who have contributed nothing to forums all of a sudden decide to join in on the conversation and state things that have already been discussed numerous times. If you want to join in and discuss the new coaster, i have no problem with that. but PLEASE just take a few minutes to make sure you're not stating something that has already been pointed out. It makes it hard for the people who have been participating all along to have to sift through all the info we already know. Thanks. (sorry, i don't mean to sound like i'm pms-ing. it just irks me)

read the description of the pic on carowinds connection. It says "^Magnetic Brakes".

really?! It's august 26... 16 days from now. It has been posted many MANY times over the past 16 or so pages of this thread.

well, I guess we know the fate of the red track now.... http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2772

^i really doubt they were being serious.

maybe not with NASCAR, but there's no reason it couldn't be named WL with a non-NASCAR racing theme.

where's the guy that did the no limits version of his thoughts on diamondback last year before it was announced and posted the vid on youtube? We need him! I'd do it myself but i don't have no limits

^that's not really that big of an accomplishment considering LZ/Time Machine is currently the tallest at only 150ft. of course they'd be able to say they basically shattered the previous record lol

just b/c it's racing themed does not automatically give it the name "Intimidator". that's just what people are guessing. yes, it may in fact end up being named that but it's not time to close the door on all other possibilities. and i'm still keeping my money on the B&M Hyper, that is definately not going to be launched

it says "Record Breaking. History Making". What records is it going to break? i guess it could have the potential of being the tallest and/or fastest B&M. but thats not really a "history making" record.

OH GOD!!!! please let this be a trick like the "Ride Sally Ride" thing for diamondback last year. If it really is themed to Dale Earnhart, so many people are gonna be saying "told ya so".

thank you!! regardless of whether it's all connected by concrete or not doesn't mean it isn't the same thing. the supports at the bottom of the lift hill look the same on numerous B&M's (LZ/Time Machine, Diamondback, Behemoth, Goliath(SFOG & La Ronde), ect.). Though not all do, it gives sort of a clue as to what the footer at carowinds is for. It probably has to do with how close the ride starts to the ground also. I'm not saying it's 100% a B&M.... just helping out and giving a bit of wishful thinking. (ps. Most of the coasters with that type of support are hypers ) lol

We Have a FOOTER!! a BIG FOOTER!!! Good photo update at Carowinds Connection.... http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2601&start=1740
