jarmor Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Isn't that pointless being you ride on the outside of the track anyway??? Disregard...user deleted his post. Edited July 17, 2014 by jarmor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkjunkie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I know how the invert ties are curved, i guess im just going blind and cant see it on the teal. And have we figured out why or how HW may not be getting the yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 ^ The curve is pretty obvious, and it is also in the yellow track. That track is going to China for the B&M flyer that the Wanda Group is building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That track is going to China for the B&M flyer that the Wanda Group is building. Gotchya. Ok, I can see the curve a little. But that leaves me with a conundrum. That leaves the red track with Carowinds, and why would they make their giga the same color as their mega? IDK, Im still thinking somethings not adding up. As convinced as I was that HW was getting a B&M launch of a non invert non flyer, Im starting wonder. Obviously the footers at HW are for a B&M, but their placement looks not to be for a flyer or invert. But obviously Carowinds isnt getting the teal, leaving them with the red and they already have a large red coaster. Im thinking the red is for HW, teal is for an unknown project, and Carowinds hasnt been seen yet..... at least this is what Im hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy2000 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Maybe Carrowinds isn't getting a B&M. Maybe it's an Intamin, which would be awesome. That would leave the red track for HW and the teal for some other project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red and white track is going to Europe for two dive coaster being built for next year (white for sure and red more than likely). They haven't started production on the giga track yet or are just now starting it. I'm convinced the teal is for HW (I could be wrong), unless another color of track has popped up since the last round of pictures were taken.

That doesn't leave the red track for Carowinds because no one said that the teal was for holiday world? It's most likely a launch, not a flyer or invert. Meaning that the red track could be for Holiday World or Efteling's dive machine. I don't think that any track for the Carowinds giga is outside for shipping yet, giga track stands out as different and noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogBur Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm convinced the teal is for HW, unless another color of track has popped up since the last round of pictures were taken. In order for the teal to be for HW, your guess about a flyer launched on its back would have to be correct. I think we can both agree this is pretty far fetched... Of course, this is all provided that the teal is flyer or invert track - which I tend to agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkjunkie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The suspense is driving me crazy!!! Im sticking to my guns that its gonna be a launched of the non invert or flyer type... at least that what Im sooooooo hoping for!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy2000 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I still don't think its a B&M launch. Maybe A B&M family coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_n_coastin Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Aren't both their water coaster prototypes? Besides, when has there EVER been a problem with any "first" from B&M? Hydromagnetic systems on a water coaster were new with Wildebeest--much more comfortable than jets and conveyors. So 1 out of 3 new technologies that worked properly during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. May be risky or may not be depending on what they're looking to do. B&M doing something new would definitely be way less risk for sure. When has there ever been a problem with B&M firsts? Continuously ratcheting restraints, which have since been fixed and make wing coasters a lot better to ride. Banshee is exceptionally comfortable. Then there are the continuously rattling new mega coaster trains, which they really haven't been able to address other than making them rattle a bit less. Leviathan ditching the new trains and going back to four across was a fantastic thing. Intamin and TGG are dead with the Kochs. B&M always testes it for a long time before installing it. I think that could be accurate with Intamin and TGG, which is too bad being a huge fan of their rides. I'm still blindly holding out hope for Intamin, regardless We definitely learned a bit about the challenges and successes of Pilgrim's Plunge and Wildebeest during our awesome backstage tours with Paula back in 2010. Whatever comes is going to be something very special, wherever it comes from. There's no shortage of passion and excitement when it comes to planning and creating cool new attractions there.

Leviathan ditching the new trains and going back to four across was a fantastic thing. Is this a thing with several of these trains? The only coaster I heard people complaining about was Diamondback. The only ride I've been on with these trains was shambhala and it is ridiculously smooth. I also prefer the older trains, but that's for other reasons.

I think it is far fetched, but I don't think it is impossible either. If it does happen, I guarantee it would be a request from HW to B&M and not a proposal from B&M to HW. I still don't think its a B&M launch. Maybe A B&M family coaster If you don't think it is more than a family coaster, then you're oblivious to everything that is going on. You don't hype the announcement of a major attraction for 66 days and bill it has the biggest announcement ever ( park tweeted it yesterday), then announce a family coaster.

HolidayWorldFTW Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Anyone notice that there isn't a new entry on 66daysatsea for today? Usually it's up way before now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) I doubt Holiday World would go for another prototype product after Pilgrim's Plunge and Timberliner trains. Maybe three times lucky? There are lots of proven companies that do fantastic launched coasters already, if this is a launched coaster. If it is a B&M, it'll probably be a solid looper. Aren't both their water coaster prototypes? Besides, when has there EVER been a problem with any "first" from B&M? Intamin and TGG are dead with the Kochs. B&M always testes it for a long time before installing it. The park hasn't said anything even remotely implying having a poor relationship with TGG. Didn't they say quite the opposite when the Timberliners didn't work out? I'm not seeing this as a B&M product. I'm expecting some sort of dark ride/coaster combo which is where the additional expenditure will come from. Possibly something launched and with some terrain elements. I'm excited to see what it turns out to be. Edited July 19, 2014 by jmicha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayWorldFTW Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 On the construction cam right now they are pouring more concrete into what looks like a pit of some sort off on the left hand side of the cameras angle. Also there are now some walls up for that building they are building on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
