netdvn Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It certainly looks like a terrain coaster to me rather than one you'd see of this type as an SF style parking lot coaster. Because every SF coaster is a parking lot coaster Because we know SF is the only park company that would buy something like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCJ48 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Because every SF coaster is a parking lot coaster Of course. All six flags parks started out as just a parking lot, with things built on top of it to make the park. Didn't you know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have a feeling those tracks are going to CedarPoint!! I'm still betting on an overseas park....the new CEO isn't Kinzel after all & is less inclined to build expensive coasters especially to win a "coaster count crown" against a park that's thousands of miles away from CP,those days are long gone. You have to remember that this project will have been in the works for quite a few years and so would be a product of the Kinzel era as opposed to the new CEO. As for my personal opinion, I think that the second pic looks exactly like the piece of track about halfway down Shambahala's drop where the support meets the track except possibly angled more in the area of 80-85 degrees than 75. That's what I was thinking as well regarding the angle of that track element.It is still possible that Kinzel may be behind this but other than MF & Magnum CF under Kinzel would usually take a more guarded approach & debut a prototype at one of their smaller parks first before going for a huge version for CP...should be interesting to see where this one ends up. I wonder,could it be going to an Austrailian park? I know the chances are slim but let's remember that our off-season is their operating season.....just a thought I'd like to throw out there.

David H Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm gonna throw out a random guess and say it will be for the new Happy Valley opening in China next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambe_bambe Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 My hopes are its coming to Dreamworld Australia, rumor among the staff for a while now has been management's a $1,000,000 deposit paid on a B&M for 2012/2013, and with the new CEO anythings possible right.

Considering Dreamworld just payed a lot of money on a new coaster, a new family ride and a rethemed kids area, I wouldn't say its very likely.

RangaOnACoaster Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I really do hope this is legit. Buzzsaw was a huge let down and Dreamworld do need to repair their reputation. A B&M would be perfect for that job. I do know they just spent all that money on redecorating everything to DreamWorks. but we can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrappa Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Unless DWs parent company has drastically altered their scheduled capex budgeting for the park I don't see a 15-20 million coaster coming to the property. Aussie parks seem to be spending sub 10mil on major attractions at present and Im not so sure a late investment like this would bring them the returns to justify it to their shareholders.

Jordan M. Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have heard the rumours going around DW internally that a B&M is coming but I seriously doubt it as DJRappa said it simply is not in the budget, nor has it been mentioned in releases to the Australian Stock Exchange. Dreamworld are focusing on the Dreamwork's Experience at present and I doubt we will see a B&M in 12/13. I would however gladly be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA101 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I've got a hunch that this is going to Cedar Point, but then again, because it's green and it makes me think it's for Six Flags, there's a part of me that's telling me that this is going to SFSL.

Coaster Curt Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Now that Wild Cat is coming out of Cedar Point maybe this track is heading there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well their B&M invert Raptor is really close to the former Wildcat location, which is also green... But I guess that doesn't matter since they have the red & yellow Top Thrill Dragster right next to the red & yellow Iron Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammmmmy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 ^^It does seem plausible, considering the turnpike cars are located adjacent to it, and rumors have been stirring of turnpike cars being taken out and adding a coaster there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 ^hmmm. That gets the gears turning in my head. Perhaps a companion for Raptor? Playing off the whole "flying" thing. I think it is unlikely, but I like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Now that Wild Cat is coming out of Cedar Point maybe this track is heading there Not gonna happen as the decision to remove wildcat came at the last minute & the ride was undergoing testing before CF announced on their site it's removal. My bet is that it's still going somewhere in china/asia as there seems to be alot of new parks opening year after year in that part of the world.

coastin Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 To everyone saying that it's going out of country...... YOU'RE ALL WRONG! A picture posted a few pages back, will clarify that the track is staying in America, and is going to a very smart amusement park who won't give away the fact, that they are building a new B&M coaster.

Perhaps you don't know the meaning of the word "origin" Yes, I do. But before I have seen many people before say that it was staying the U.S. But then again, I didn't see the "origin" in "Country Of Origin" (Just another stupid moment -_-) And I never should listen to what other people say when it comes to something like this.

SkyBreak95 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'n no expert on this but... http://www.cwmania.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10032/087.JPG "X-works" was the name of the customer, I'm assuming that it's Cedar Fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope,it's not for CF,that Xworks label is somethig that the plant uses to keep us enthusiasts from figuring out where the ride is going. In the past the shipping label would include the actual customer name but we were able to sneak onto the property,get a pic of it & leak the info before the parks announced the ride so the parks have since asked the plant to stop using the actual customer name on the shipping labels.
