kingsdominionlvr Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I am almost 100% sure the Ferrari Track pictured is supposed to Intamin. The double spine can be explained by Intamin's innovation. To be honest, I can see most of Intamin's major new coasters using double spine technology to save money on supports, as well.

New pics page 341: http://www.kdfansite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17008#17008 Â Odd stuff indeed, I am really itching to get down there and get some more pictures for my site and TPR. I seem to remember a lightning storm a day or two before the removal of these supports, maybe it struck the supports, and they had to send them back for refurbishment, just a theory.
DiSab Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 YES!!! Another CF-McDonald's joint coaster installation! Â F1 is an Intamin coaster. When it was first announced as the fastest coaster on the planet, I believe it was initially misreported that it was a Premier ride. The news spread rapidly, but when it was re-reported that it was actually an Intamin, that didn't get as much attention. So it was still believed that it was a Premier ride. But its not.
MARK Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Ok everyone, F1 in Ferrari Park is Intamin... all sorted. It's established. Â We can get back to discussing just this coaster now!
Homeboy23 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 ^^^ The yellow supports there now are not the same ones that were there before. These are round and the other ones were square.
OKSIRYDOC Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Hmm I don't know what to expect with this ride things just keep showing up, and i'm extremely confused on what this is.
OKSIRYDOC Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Oh how could I be so stupid not to know that haha.
ElToroExtreme Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 ^^^ I'm interested to see where this one ends up!
Mochtroid Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 ^^^ I'm interested to see where this one ends up! Probably near the food court, seeing as it's a drink holder.
kingsdominionlvr Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 ^^^ I'm interested to see where this one ends up! Probably near the food court. Â Hmm, that makes me think. I bet that the addition of this giga, will make for a new section of Kings Dominion, especially with Black Squid still setting in storage. Maybe even in the future, a food court.
KDFAN Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 This coaster just gets more and more unqiue and long as it has lots of I'm happy.
Capitalize Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Coaster Crew via Twitter says a UFO-esque theme could happen... Makes sense being next to FoF and all.
Homeboy23 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 ^^ That was from a park employee. Don't believe it.
coasterfreak101 Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 No matter who said there's going to be a space theme, it's not really credible. But it's completely plausible, so why count it out? Right now the ONLY place that this thing could have it's station without the construction of a 200-foot pier over (Lake Charles?) is near the FOF 'base.' So why not tie it in? Give it a name like Infinity or some junk like that and call it a day. No themeing necessary, just a cool logo and a kickass, tall ride that advertises itself to the millions of people driving I95 everyday. Done.
itsme102 Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 ^ ^Straight from KD's twitter, seems like more than just a rumor from some employee. Â @CBS6 Black smoke rings above the park! they maybe UFO's again! i'll let you know!3:42 PM Jul 14th from web in reply to CBS6 Ufo spotted headed east away from park!4:09 PM Jul 3rd from txt UFO watch 2009, we've got our eyes to the sky.
chad5871 Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 All the UFO talk on KD's twitter doesn't necessarily mean that the new coaster is going to be space-themed. Â A couple months ago there was a supposed UFO sighting at KD (link) and KD has been making tongue-in-cheek comments about it since. Â That doesn't mean it's not a possibility, but I don't think KD's tweets necessarily provide hard evidence of how the new coaster will be themed.
kingsdominionlvr Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Red and Yellow, does not equal space themed. If this thing was space themed it would be green and silver or something. I think the only reason why Kings Dominion milked the whole UFO thing was to get people into the park.

I think the only reason why Kings Dominion milked the whole UFO thing was to get people into the park.  Silver Bullet      This is Cedar Fair, so red and yellow could be for a space themed roller coaster.
kingsdominionlvr Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 What color are the supports on Silver Bullet? Looks grey or silver to me (I am a little color blind). Red and Yellow track is fine, but the WHOLE ride is going to be red and yellow, not just the track.
DiSab Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 But it makes a hell of a lot more sense to have the trains or track (but preferably trains) to be silver on a ride named Silver Bullet - not the supports. Hence the naming FAIL. Â I think the only reason why Kings Dominion milked the whole UFO thing was to get people into the park. Â Park promotion, yes. But who's to say it wasn't the beginning of the marketing for the coaster? With it being in the general area of FoF, a space/alien theme is entire plausible - don't count it out until we know otherwise.

Though, they may be able to pull of a space theme enclosed queue line. My guess, is it will be something with no particular theme, such as Millie and Dominator, after all Cedar Fair is the King of good rides/awful names and theming.

Â Say that to FoF next to Volcano, Avalanche, Anaconda and Backlot Stunt Coaster. There is no set theme back there.
