Good to see a lot of good welding jobs holding on in this economy. We could very well be on to a new stimulus idea here.

 

Too bad there's no twisty bits though. I'm actually pretty tired of seeing B&M do mega coasters, it's not their strong point.

[JamminJ]

^^Wow I came here to do just that..

 

Track.

 

Platforms and such.

 

The all important Label.

 

Unpainted supports.

 

To see a lot more go to my post at Carowinds Connection here.

It may go to some park in latin america

WOw!

 

Only red track pieces are on site!

 

And now more questions:

 

Where are the yellow tracks?

 

The red track is for... ???

 

The new brown oxidated track pieces are for a new themed coaster?

 

When we will see the green, blue orange, purple, and pink tracks?

 

Who knows...

[atem122]

Is it just me? Or does one of those unpainted supports look like a loop support?

[DiSab]

^^Uh, the brown track pieces are just waiting to be painted. They won't be assembled in that condition. They'll be sand-blasted smooth, primed, and painted before being shipped off. Same with the supports.

 

It doesn't look like the yellow track pieces are there anymore, so it would appear as if they've been shipped off. To where, through, I don't know.

 

 

^Some of those support pieces are big enough to be loop supports, or they could just simply be the part that attached to the top of the lift or one of the hills. It's hard to tell for sure.

[fisher1095]

I have a strong feeling these pieces are for Carowinds' hyper in 2010

 

^ I think the yellow pieces were shipped overseas.

I googled "X-Works" but just got a bunch of hits for random software stuff. Maybe its a new park or corporation? I agree with Ccron10, it looks too small to be for a diving machine. Those track pieces are making me think its a hyper-twister coaster...lets hope

[NewEnglandCoasters102.0]

Mark Shapiro did say that SFMM was getting a new coaster for 2010...doubtful that they'd get something as pricy as a B&M right after getting Terminator this year, but you never know...

[rollerboy]

Customer: MCJ09

 

I'm led to believe the "J09" stands for June/July 2009. Maybe that's when the track will get shipped. Just a thought.

[fisher1095]

MCJ09 = Mega Coaster July 2009! Yay! I figured it out! After 107 pages of deciphering these codes, I have figured it out...

[JamminJ]

If you had clicked through to my post to another board you would have seen that I said the yellow coaster, which was the one marked X-WORKS is gone. Where? I don't know.

 

I know I sound like a 'fanboy' but I really think the track is going to Carowinds for their hyper, they been doing a ton of work to the former log flume area as well as the parking lot.. and all signs so far point to a large B&M.

 

Also the webmaster of Carowinds Connection had an interesting take on the customer name, but I would need to find more labels to confirm.

 

 

MC=Mega Coaster

 

A = Apollo's Chariot

B = Raging Bull

C = Nitro

D = Silver Star

E = Goliath

F = Goliath

G = Hollywood Dream

H = Behemoth

I = Diamondback

J = ?????????????

 

09 = 2009

^Woah that's a good find by that guy, it seems like one of those things that really seems like it could be true even though it's most likely a coincidence

[DarkStitch626]

Interesting fact , when you talk X-works. It also means the buyer is responsible for transport, also responsible for taxes and all exchanges between company and buyer. I can't believe I misplaced this fact during a convention. Perhaps it has relivance perhaps not but its interesting to maybe point out for the yellow track perhaps the buyer wanted to transport it themselves. X-works is a business term for self transportation of product. Bugatti uses the term alot on thier cars you can look at in a Bugatti/VW dealership.

SFMM already has goliath so they wouldn't need to add another hyper to the park.

[coastermoosh]

^The yellow track isn't for a hyper. That's the track he was guessing was for SFMM (it isn't).

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^^CP could've said the same thing about Millienium Force. (and IMO they should've) I'm not going to rule out MM as a contender, but I have reason to believe MM will get a revamp on an existing ride in 2010 rather than a new coaster, so it's a low possibility.

 

I like the idea of Carowinds getting a stellar coaster of this scale. If this park needs something, it's a new and unique coaster.

[atem122]

^You werent lying when you said SFMM was gonna see something Bizarre were you?

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

I can't say. My sources were not from the park, so I don't know for sure, but what I did hear made sense and it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

[NewEnglandCoasters102.0]

^You werent lying when you said SFMM was gonna see something Bizarre were you?

Are you suggesting that SFMM might be getting a "Bizarro?"

[GriffonFan09]

what coaster would they turn into Bizarro?

 

Batman or Riddler???? I don't know but why waste the effort....

[Wes]

^ I think it's supposed to be Scream since it doesn't have any current theming and they could copy and paste the same stuff they did for Great Adventure's Medusa to Bizaro changeover or whatev since it's basically the same layout.
