DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Alright, I have a question/theory. We know that theme parks are being built in Dubai, correct? Because of that, maybe B&M is making many roller coasters for many parks. So maybe they are using their European, and American factories to make many coasters at once? I dunno if its true, but supposedly Busch is going to have a Kumba, Montu, and Griffon clone, in their Dubai park. So, is it possible that this is what it could be? Coaster clones? Or is it too early for work on those parks/projects? .....Just a thought.
netdvn Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 ^ World's of Discovery was cancelled after InBev bought AB. And I'm pretty sure that if a Dubai park wanted a B&M, they would manufacture the parts in Europe.

And it could be more than one or two projects at once?
ghost007jas Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I'm no expert on how long it takes to create coaster track, but I think it's safe to say that if they are starting right now they will have plenty, and I mean PLENTY of time to create multiple coasters done being manufactured before the park opens. Can you imagine the kind of shipping they would charge Busch if they were manufacturing the parts in America? Eek.
DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I guess your right. *sigh* Oh well, I figured it was worth a shot.
dr.gumbo Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 People's insight into this amazes me. I was looking at TPR's thread of the mysterious yellow B&M, and I looked at a recent link to gravityphotography.com posted by Bill Boy on page 103. I looked for the guy's photos of the B&M plant, and I saw part of a shipping container. The name that recovered from the pic said Hapa... (the rest was blocked) so I googled "hapa" to see if we could determine where the container was going based on the shipping company's areas it ships to. The company is Hapag Lloyd, German based. But unfortunately, it's a global company, so we can't necessarily knock off certain continents. However, after looking up their main site, I discovered you can trace a container. You can search the Hapag Lloyd containers for the container number, and according to the "format" followed by the company, the code is a series of four letters followed by seven numbers. If someone can find that code on the container (if it's even on the container), someone can punch in the code and track where it's going.
Nosferatu Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Could have told him it was a Hapag Lloyd container without google I have an alternative plan as to finding out where this is going though. What if we wait until yellow B&M track starts appearing at a park somewhere. Then we can look at the code at the container the track arrived in, use their website and find out where it was heading
larrygator Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 ^Patience is not a characteristic found in many coaster dorks who speculate on track pieces.
bgeguy Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 ^ World's of Discovery was cancelled after InBev bought AB. And I'm pretty sure that if a Dubai park wanted a B&M, they would manufacture the parts in Europe.BEC has not cancelled Worlds of Discovery in Dubai, it has only been put on hold.
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 how about this coaster going to Canada ? Could it perhaps be Vancouver Playland's new coaster for 2010? (as it's their 100th anniversary and my city is hosting the winter Olympics). Playland removed the 50 year old Wild Mouse deathtrap last year and I have a feeling its time for a new coaster.
DBru Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 ^I doubt Playland is in the financial position to afford a new B&M.

No the plans themselves have been shelved although I was wrong about the fact that it was InBev's decision. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/orl-kassab0409feb04,0,2251456.column http://www.lifthill.com/news/dubai-busch-gardens-seaworld-plans-canceled/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uLECuGK07U You might need to click the link to this video... There aren't enough YouTube videos in this topic.
bgeguy Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 ^ Jacobs emphasized that Busch and Nakheel remained committed to the project and would move forward "when economic conditions permit."
Shellemonster Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 So now we have mystery yellow supports on site at King's Dominion and mystery yellow track at the B&M plant. It's a real shame that the track and the supports don't fit together though. Round connectors on the supports, square mounts on this track. There's pictures in the King's Dominion forum. Forum Link
tkkyj Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 It's a real shame that the track and the supports don't fit together though. It is only a shame that it does not satisfy our curiosity... It is hardly a shame that there are now TWO yellow coasters in the works for 2010!
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I just did a google search for "X-Works". Couldn't find anything about who they are. I only know that they are the ones that ordered the yellow track. http://www.google.com/search?q=X-works&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8
netdvn Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 ^ I'm pretty sure it's been stated a million times in this thread before. http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/ex-works.html http://www.exworksinc.com/ http://www.answers.com/topic/ex-works
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I still wonder what either of those B&M's will be going..... Yellow, not sure, but I have a hunch for the red one.....
atem122 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Red one's gonna be Carowind's Mega coaster, and the yellow one is going to my backyard, problem solved
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Wow, big yellow B&M can tell Blue Flash to SUCK IT!!!
sfmmrules! Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Maybe its going to SFMM for their new coaster next year?
atem122 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Hey does Intamin keep their factory more covert? Because you never hear anything about it and their rides do pop out of no where...I think, I havent been a coasternerd long enough to see a mysterious intamin thread
KDCOASTERFAN Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Hey does Intamin keep their factory more covert? Because you never hear anything about it and their rides do pop out of no where...I think, I havent been a coasternerd long enough to see a mysterious intamin thread Intamin's track/supports are imported from overseas that's why such a thread has yet to be posted.
Vffreak07 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Intamin I guess just wants to be more secretive so when track does arrive, it causes more of a stir (example being KD). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp9Gm-aRe5A
