rbpia Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hmmm... Yellow B&M track. It has to be Cedar Points new tribute coaster to the BIG MIKE ROAD SHOW! Ron "Oh yeah, it's also the new B&M prototype AQUATRAX" Patton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 ^LOL! I can't believe it took till page 13 for the words AQUATRAX to show up!!! Amazing, B&M Aquatrax all the way!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam06pr Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Alton? Tivoli? (wait I think that is for 2011-12) What about spain? That new water park was talking about expansion with a floorless design coaster...but don't they have a closer B&M plant in Europe? The dive coaster going to Happy Valley...But the track is too small for a dive coaster... Maybe is some other random park in China. or anywhere in Europe or Asia....or dubai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 What I think is really interesting about this thread is how may US parks we don't think it could be going to. Kind of says something about the state of the industry. But just to join in the craziness fun, I'm going to say it's a "Hollywood Dream" coaster for USH. /Oh wait, I forgot about Transformers. //Almost makes sense, otherwise.

the ghost Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Maybe Tatum is on to something themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35164&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=universal+studios+dubai&start=40 Sounds like it may go to Dubai and be a dragons clone.

astroworldfan1 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 ^ I wasn't takling about Dubailand. I was talking about a new park in Texas. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taytig Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I don't know what it is or where it is going, but could it be for Canada's Wonderland? I know they just got Behemoth, but they are also celebrated 30 years in 2010. Maybe it's for them! They could start construction soon and have track installed starting in the late summer or in early fall. Problably not - but I can be hopeful!

jbrollercoasters Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 My hopes are that Valleyfair is FINALLY coming through with their plans for their Invert they've been talking about for many years... highly doubtful though since they just spent like $12 million on a stupid wavepool for this spring.

Garet Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Looking back at Johnnyupsidedowns Manta construction pictures and comparing it to the 1st picture they do look sort of similar Isn't B&M flyer a bit flatter than Hyper and inverted track, if i remember dive machines had almost completely flat track compared to the middle beam, then flyers was slightly more curved out from the main beam and then hyper and inverted was even more curved out than that... excuse the lack of technical terms i can't remember any.

darklingscribe Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Having not payed attention to the Harry Potter plans of Islands of Adventure I have no idea if they are planning to add a new coaster. That said my initial reaction was Island of Adventure as they seem to be really happy with the results B&M gives them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke8 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Can I just say that it will NOT be going to a European park. As far as I am aware, pretty much all of Europe's B&M's in the past have been manufactured in their original Switzerland plant/factory. This includes Nemesis, Air and Oblivion, so we can confirm that is probably won't be SW6 for Alton, or Toverland's Batman clone. American parks are obviously quick to announce major enw rides like this, so my bet is on it going to Asia or Australia. China is the Boom Town of theme parks at the moment.

rollercoastergeek Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I could be wrong on this but, isn't there a place in Vegas that was talking about getting a new coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Couple of things...the new Inverted coaster for Universal is a Vekoma, not B&M. IOA isn't getting a traditional coaster for the Harry Potter section. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Alex Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Why would SFI change the layout of an already existing coaster? That involves new footers, and a lot of other work. SFI is focusing on refurbishing their old rides, not rerouting them. I'm stumped. I don't know where it's going, but Cedar Fair's probably behind it. As to the Texas project Tatum mentioned, I hope not. I don't think parks should start out Season 1 with a B&M (coughHRPcough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceOfSpades247 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 How bout the new coaster for IOA??? They said they were gonna get a new coaster for 2010 to help get more people into the park. Anything is possible however. Well remember B&M is friends with IOA. And why got out as far as vekoma to get a new invert?! Thats really stupid!!

Wes Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 ^ Um, they are building a Harry Potter section for 2010, and as Robb said above, there is no coaster for that section. You guys need to read the thread before responding, A LOT of theories have already been brought up and potentially shot down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Does the original poster have any more close ups of the track? I bet that would help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie123 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hmm. Well as someone said before, it doesnt look like a inverted as the way the connectors stick out to join the track to the supports.. It just wouldnt fit onto a invert. Im guessing a flyer! And i know where its going.. Dreamworld, AU. Haha, i wish. But it isnt totally ruled out yet so im just gunna wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a building being built in that specified area and I see catwalks and places for footers. I have no clue what is going in that building but its big enough to house at least the Mummy times two. So we'll see what the building is to become of.

KDCOASTERFAN Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I have a feeling it's for Cedar Point. Cedar Point is missing a flying coaster AND a flooress coaster. So either one is possible. But is there even enough room? --James If that were the case then CP would've probably gotten Dominator instead of KD.Still my bet is that it is probably for a CF park.

It's a dark ride that uses a robot arm as a ride vehicle. There's concept art and stuff in the IOA Harry Potter thread on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceOfSpades247 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Wow!! Now I'm super excited!!! Where is that thread?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclisso Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 hmm, well Carowinds is already announced the removal of their log ride and its been pretty much confirmed ,but not officially announced, that Carowinds will be getting something big, which we could assume is a coaster. This could possibly be track for a hyper. Although, I do agree it's a little early for them to be producing track already for that project. They haven't even removed the log ride yet.

Kennyweird Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Wow, this thread exploded in a hurry. I think it's a new Yo Gabba Gabba-sponsored, boob-themed B&M hyper that's going to be built on the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
