no...i know am waiting am been patient right now!

 

Have you ever heard of spell check kid? Anyway, with the new brakes that have arrived, I think it is much more likely that it will be a hyper coaster than a floorless. Nice find to whoever found those pictures of the Diamondback brake run.

[AFTERBURN1234]

Ok please...i am new here.

Its a hyper and am happy that we are getting one.

And finally we get something over 4000ft long, 150ft tall.

While nothing has been confirmed, I think it is fair to say this is a hyper. Sorry, if I rubbed you the wrong way, I was just letting you know you should get spell check. Also, I have had to deal with my share of awful admins so I feel for ya, TPR has some of the best around, so my guess is you should have a much better time on this site.

15 pieces of track were on site when Wormy from CarowindsConnection went to the park earlier today. He said another truck load of track was arriving when he left. Still no supports.

thanks for that. i am banned from carowinds connection!

[HCLcoasters]

I'm guessing Carowinds will be receiving yellow supports just like KD's Giga...

 

On the other hand, I hope this thing actually has some ejector air

[atem122]

I havent ridden a B&M mega, but do they tend to have ejector? Especially the newer ones?

[AFTERBURN1234]

why are you saying were getting yellow supports! ^^

[lilj4425]

I hope not. On KI's hyper, the small steel supports used to hold up the track station are the same color as the tall steel supports to hold up the track except for on the lift hill. If this is the same case at Carowinds then the supports except for possibly on the lift hill will be silver due to the track station support color being silver.

[atem122]

I've got it!

 

This will be a Dback clone, the lightning strikes twice hint is really trying to tell us that it'll be the 2nd strike of Dback!

 

Speculate.

[HCLcoasters]

^^How do you know that the supports in the station are silver. None have arrived yet I beleive.

 

Apollo's chariot has ejector airtime but the others just have floater. Raging bull and Nitro might have ejector but there are mixed reviews on those. From what I've heard the newer ones don't have to much air though.

No, not the station where you get on and off the coaster. I'm referring to the place where they store the trains when they're not being used. The steel used to hold that up is the same color as the supports on KI's hyper except on the lift hill. The steel used to hold up the train storage for the new coaster at Carowinds has arrived and it's silver.

[HCLcoasters]

^ Ah, I see.

 

I guess I'm pleasantly wrong.

[Jive]

From what I've heard the newer ones don't have to much air though.

Diamondback rips me out of my seat at least 4 times.

[Tchu]

Diamondback's air blows AC's air outta the water.

 

I just road Apollo's Chariot a couple weeks ago... front of the train, back of the train... and while it was a really fun coaster, I sure didn't feel any air-time on it nearly as forceful as the air you get in the front couple rows of DB.

 

Given the fact that DB and Behemoth seem to be the highest rated of the B&M hypers, I think its safe to say that this new one for Carowinds will hold up well.

[HCLcoasters]

I don't know what to think any more. There are so many mixed reviews

[atem122]

^Agreed, I've heard Dback is "OMG F***ING AMAZING"

And that it just gets boring after a while

[GriffonFan09]

This coaster is supposed to be a B&M hyper correct? Sorry just making sure here...

[themeparkman25]

^Yes, it will be a B&M hyper.

 

Tchu- According to the 2008 Mitch Hawker poll, the B&M hypers fall as follows...

-#7 Behemoth at CW

-#14 Goliath at SFOG

-#16 Nitro at SFGAv

-#20 AC at BGE

 

Albeit DB hasn't even been open a year, but either way the coaster is going to be anything but a let down. Side note, anyone else think it is funny that of the top 20, 19 are either B&M or Intamin?

That quote on Screamscape is from Jarvis on Carowinds Connection who asked at Coaster Stock about paint and was told that it would receive paint. They did not specify when, how much or even if it was just touchup work.

They are the 2 best!

Which one's the stand out? Phantom's Revenge?
