Track spotted on I-70E in Missouri

[CaliforniaPinto]

We spotted this track headed east bound on I-70 in mid-Missouri

Is this Maurer Shone? That was our guess. Hersheypark?

I'm 95% sure that's track for Premeir's new unannounced "Diavolo" coming to BGW new year. It's a clone of Superman from SFDK. That looks like the track for the barrel roll at the very top.

 

EDIT: I found a picture from a while ago (not sure who posted this, just google image searched for it) of track spotted outside BGW. This track is 100% for BGW.

Wow that is a gorgeous piece of track. Great pics. Premier was definitely my first thought, though I don't know anything about Diavolo.

^Premier was also my first thought. And the colour seems to match.

After looking at Superman at DK's track, that is most definitely what it is -- this is for BGW

[RyanTPM]

That certainly is track heading for BGW

Where does Premier manufacture it's track. The company is based in Baltimore so I am surprised this is traveling through Missouri. This track is definitely a match of the previously spotted track at BGW.

I'm 99% sure this is the track for BGW's S:UF clone. It must be really exciting to see coaster track on a free way

Definitely for Busch Gardens Williamsburg's new coaster, Diavlo, Diablo, or Tempesto or whatever the hell Coaster Studios is calling it now.

It's manufactured by Intermountain Lift in Utah.

Any idea where the supports are manufactured? In 2012, I passed S:UF supports heading west on I-80 somewhere in Nebraska or Iowa.

Let me know if anyone sees any Intamin Mega-Lite track heading west on I-70. Elitch Gardens still needs to win me over as my new home park.

Worst home park trade on my part ever, by the way-- BGW and KD in exchange for Elitch.

Wouldn't count on it. It really does seem like parks in America are getting every single Mega-Lite like ride with the exception of an actual Intamin AG Mega-Lite. Examples would be Lightning Run and Skyrush (even though it's an actual Intamin hyper coaster, it goes over 210 feet.) I wouldn't surprised if this country gets one of those new MACK Mega-Lite type rides.

When we visited Holiday World during the Mini New Hotness we got to meet several of the rides and maintenance managers and supervisors. I spoke with one of them who used to work at Elitch and commented that that particular park would be ideal for the Chance mega-lite. He said that when he worked at EG there were discussions about getting the first one. Not sure how long ago that was but I hope Elitch hasn't lost Chance's number or maybe they'd consider the Mack version.

I would be very tempted just to follow the track haha.
