kunpc1 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yes, there are aqua-blue supports on site in the employee parking lot. They're similar in colour to Wicked Twister's supports. They appear to be station/transfer track supports as they are I-Beams. They have the X-Works sticker on them that other B&M coasters have had recently.

ECZenith Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The supports are my favorite color! I hope it's a B&M! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toro#1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 boy the hype around this one is unbelievable, almost a week away until the announcement, I sure hope it's B&M too, all of these clues point to it, but as far as type goes it's still a mystery!

rollin_n_coastin Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 One more week! The 4D thoughts are interesting. If B&M ever did something like that, maybe the smoothness would come from sensors along the track telling the seats to rotate instead of additional rails. Ah, it's fun to imagine. Â Maybe marketing is just having a lot of fun aiming this at non-enthusiasts, which are the majority. It's a coaster/ major machine--promotion has got to be at least a bit over the top. CW could get any type of B&M coaster and it would still be a one-of-a-kind and amazing ride in Canada. Â I really like the teasers so far. Can't wait to see what this bird will be.

CedarFair1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 August 10, 2011! More supports arriving via flatbed truck not shipping container.. Â That and terror of London is coming to Canada's Wonderlands 2011 Halloween Haunt! you can see some aqua blue support sticking over the fence more supports more supports inside the park supports were arriving on flatbed, not shipping containers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason10 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That and terror of London is coming to Canada's Wonderlands 2011 Halloween Haunt! Â All they would have to do is ship a couple of thugs from London to CW to terrorise the park with riots! That, for now, is the Terror of London. On a more serious note, this is looking like a project to keep an eye on! It certainly has me intrigued. I cannot wait to find out what it is.

mudvayneimn Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Wow, I'm actually excited to hear what CW is planning to add for next yer, I might have to plan a trip up for this. Although there is that weird triangle footer, it'd be interesting if this turned out to be the world's largest flying coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The haunt maze in your picture above is The Asylum. Terror in London will be located in a different part of the park.

Schotcher Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's either a Flyer, a DM, or a floorless. But to sum it up I know for a fact it'll be floorless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Now that more pieces have been arriving on site, I am a firm believer that this is going to be a B&M coaster. Â In THIS picture, it looks as if catwalk railings have arrived and the recent delivery of I-Beams suggests that they could be for the break-run or the lift. As to what type of coaster this is, I have NO idea. B&M uses the same type of catwalks on all of there coasters... Â Here are some images of other B&M's for comparison to what we have arriving and what their purpose could be: Â http://rcdb.com/3290.htm?p=14122 http://rcdb.com/527.htm?p=29614 http://rcdb.com/3631.htm?p=17811 http://rcdb.com/3631.htm?p=19382 http://rcdb.com/9309.htm?p=34114 Â 7 Days till we find out!

Schotcher Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Actually it could be an inverted. If you look at Alpengeists lift hill supports, they aren't regular B&M supports. they're boxes. Â But that seems like a lot (Wouldn't that be 3 suspendeds in one park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFair1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I need TPR'S help, I was browsing construction of Manta and realized how similar their construction was to ours, even the colour! lol  http://www.johnnyupsidedown.com/manta2.html anyways with all the I beams and the triangular footers in our construction could this be a B & M flyer heading our way? please help?

Cyber.Fiber Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Schotchcer, Alpengeists' lift supports are not I-Beams, they are L-Beams, see HERE: Â I do not think that this is going to be an Invert, but at this point, I honestly have no idea what it is going to be. All I can say is that I'm excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi2010 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It will be an Giga Coaster in Wing Rider Design.. i am hope for an Intamin Strata Coaster new worldrecord breaking in heigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It's more likely than not (a flyer), but to be honest I don't really think you want a flyer *Cough Cough Boring* but seeing as it is "Raptor", the only possibilities that really stand out are Dive Machine and a Flyer, but to be honest I don't see why Paul Ruben would want to ride either of those options for a whole year. But Dive Machines are so compact, and there's a huge straightaway....  And no, I can almost guarantee that it will not be a Wing Rider. That would mean for 2012 B&M would only be shipping out Wing Riders. Giga Coaster's and B&M don't work too well together too  But if you were talking about Intamin, it could be possible, but the fact that HP is making a Wing Rider hybrid still doesn't add up.  But the straightaway kills me!

Cyber.Fiber Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 With the introduction of magnetic breaks on their newer coasters is it possible that B&M might try the technology to launch a coaster? It seems like LIM technology is reliable enough/ been around for a long time for them to want to use it now. Â Ans with all this speak of a possible flyer, something like THIS could be great for the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDcoasterMAN Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm doubting it's a B&M Wing. Not if we can 'almost' infer that Dollywood is getting one... I think a Floorless or a Dive Machine is more plausible. (FLoorless more likely)...

Schotcher Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 What would a floorless have to do with a Raptor though? Im gonna go with Dive Machine on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) B&M has made it quite clear they won't build any launch coasters after Hulk  Yes, but that was back in 1999; 12 years ago, when technology was not as advanced or as cheap to produce as it is today. With the reliability of LIM launches, I think that B&M might have the courage to try it out; you have to admit, a launched flyer would be AMAZING.  And Schotcher, what does a floorless have to do with Medusa? hahaha Edited August 10, 2011 by Cyber.Fiber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 B&M has made it quite clear they won't build any launch coasters after Hulk  Perhaps, but things can change. Hulk was 11 years ago.  Same goes for this imaginary 230ish ft. height limit that B&M allegedly had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCW_Nut Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 If we are to take any of the two quotes as viable and important, I think we may be seeing something more unique. It my be a dive, but not a typical dive...it may be a WingRider, but not a typical one. Â Can't wait...7 days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
