Koasterking48 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I-71 from Columbus is the quickest route to Cincinatti... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 If it's true there's no way its headed anywhere but KI. Kentucky Kingdom I saw the thread and it stated is was green square Intamin track. I know Intamin makes a square track but IF this is going to be a giga I would think they would use the beefier track like what's on I-305. I guess we'll have to wait and see if its spotted at KI.

Naina21 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Could it be headed to Dollywood? I71 and then I75 just south of Cinci would take it in that direction. Or I71 to Louisville and I64 to St Louis... Plenty of places that track could be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I305's lift hill track is pretty boxy. http://cache.rcdb.com/dkc0o13a0006dohca5a70n.jpg So is Skyrush's lift hill. http://cache.rcdb.com/cn2rh7d60016v8m52l3kim.jpg It's not out of the realm of possibility.

azza29 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So first trip to the Island today, not too busy so managed to get in plenty of rides even without Fast Lane. Scored three rides on Diamondback during the first half hour, loved every second. The Beast was a pleasant surprise - not nearly as rough as I was expecting and the drop after the second lift hill is one of the best I've ever seen on a woodie. After riding Iron Dragon I wasn't hugely excited for Flight Deck, but I couldn't have been more wrong. This is far more forceful! Rode in the front and we had some insane swing-time. Even with the official licensing gone, influences from the Paramount days still add some nice touches to a lot of the rides, especially Adventure Express and Flight of Fear. Backlot Stunt Coaster was good but would be nice to see all of the effects restored. Park would benefit from a bit more shade on the midways and certain queues. Even with the sails I was cooked fairly well while waiting in line for Firehawk. The kids area is one of the best I've seen at a large park - great selection of rides, not just the usual collection of spinning flats you see at a lot of parks. The log flume had some serious speed to it! Overall a really good collection of coasters, not really a bad one in the entire park and Diamondback alone made the trip worthwhile. Will definitely stop in for early entry tomorrow to get in a few extra rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigalyte Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 What I don't understand is how can you see Green Intamin track on the freeway through a shipping container??? Doesn't all Intamin track come from over seas??? Have they started using a manufacturer in the US like B&M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCJ48 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 ^Even if it comes from overseas, it's going to land in a port, be offloaded onto a truck, and shipped from there. Pretty much any Northeastern port would go through this corridor. Also it could be on a flatbed with supporting pieces to avoid damage, it isn't necessarily in a closed container, although I'm not sure why they would unload it from a container if it was shipped in before it got to the park. I know B&M track at least is usually shipped on flatbeds, although of course that's made in the US not shipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigalyte Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Oh well I'm wrong I305 track is on the back of a flat bed so I guess it is possible that track was seen today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCJ48 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 If this is in fact Intamin track and headed for KI, we should know soon enough. Someone pointed out over at KI Central that this could also be Mack or Gerstlauer track, which would fit the Dollywood theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Inta-Ride is made in the US, similar to the way B&M does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MBoy1982 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Drove to Clermont Steel. The supports are a dark green color. Think "Forest Green". The green section of track is still there, and has not been moved since last week. It is possible that the track is replacement, and the supports will be shipping to their construction site soon. I do know that the Batavia plant builds the older style B&M trains, and there happen to be 3 box trailers sitting out front. If KI wants to go back to the theme before Action Zone, I would say, the supports would fit, and are indeed going to KI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Back during Diamondback pre-construction... were the red track and yellow/ tan supports spotted at that plant as well? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakelemay23 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 went to the park today, has anybody else seen the very tall footers that turn through that ravine? it looks like it is the beginning of a very intense turn that rides the terrain and can be easily seen while riding delirium and barely by foot through the cracks in the construction fence. I will be here for the next two days so if you guys need me to sneak information on suspicious activity im the guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you are talking about the ones seen from Adventure Express' line, I thought those are King Cobra's old ones. Are these definitely new? These are King Cobra's old footers, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 So there are dark green B&M supports at Claremont? Flying over the Rainforest's supports are tan/brown in color, correct? As far as I know this would be a new project. Has anyone else seen interesting pieces over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 There is unpainted wing rider track as well. Different job number than the China project. I'll post a link to the pics from KIC when I'm not on my phone. Link to photos on KIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumakey1212 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 So we can expect to see another wing rider pop up in a park next year? Probably at Six Flags and definitely not at a Cedar Fair park. I wonder if those dark green supports go with the wing rider track or if they could possibly be for KI 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 If the track is being made this early in the year then my guess is that's it is going over seas (probably China or some other Asian country). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The track is headed overseas and isn't for KI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just to be clear I wasn't implying that it was for KI, I was simply answering his question. I agree that this is most likely headed overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
