This morning Screamscape added a link showing track for Worlds Of Fun 2006 B&M.

 

Can anyone distinguish the difference between inverted and floorless track?

[RCoasterny]

It's hard to tell from the pictures you have. The inverted and sit-down track are very similar. I beleive the floorless uses booster tires that contact the underside of the train's main beam, while the inverted uses booster tires that contact the braking surface of the train.

 

Another way to find out is to look at the supports. The saddle plate, or the square plate that attaches the track to the supports is square. Sitdowns usually have a saddle plate at the end of a support, while on inverted the saddle plate would usually be perpendicular to the support itself.

 

Or, a quick check to this site would pretty much answer your question.

It's inverted .. the way the track is stored alone is a give away along with the connection plates on the track. They could have the track upside down, but in all the storage I've seen, sit-down and floorless track has alway been stored with the rails facing up and inverted track has always been stored and delivered with rails facing down.

It's inverted, take a look at the ties. B&M inverted coastertrack has a little curve at the underside of the ties

 

The colourscheme is horrible if you ask me... :?

Very bad color scheme .. wouldn't be bad without that stripe

[ECZenith]

I think inverted coasters are B&M's best. I hope this one has a unique layout.

I kinda like the patriotic color scheme, kinda tacky... but original at least.

The rumored name for the coaster is "The Patriot", so the red, white and blue scheme seems appropriate.

For a while a thought that white line was a glare! The track reminds me of Sheikra.
