Not really,Lightning Rod and Wildfire are wood.

Both Wildfire and Lighting Rod have topper track example: If I'm not mistaken the wheels of a coaster roll along the tracks. The track we see in this photo is painted red. The track looks oddly metallic for "wood".

This was apparently sent to the media

^^ that's not what is being used on either Wildfire or Lightning Rod

Media day is coming soon!!!!

How long before the Banshee announcement were the combs sent to the media?

Project info shared with no sources, sources flashed as proof to justify egos, and finally, some real updates. Looks like I'm all caught up on  the ol' decoding thread!

Both Wildfire and Lightning Rod use this style of track, it is just painted Brown not red.

I think only like a week or 2 in advance, but the difference is that the Banshee combs had a specific date and time (if I'm correct) while these are like a media day announcement announcement. Still though, this seems a lot earlier than Banshee's

It's hard to see it,they cover it really well.

We don't know what's on the other side of that card. Maybe there is a date there that has an embargo date attached to it...

^True, I'll see if my guy knows any more

Banshee was announced on August 8th 2013

I'm thinking I might not be crazy thinking the name on the Tin Man boat by DB was painted darker after I first noticed it. I think maybe my wild speculation may be a real hint at this point.

Laying my odds on Lumberjack for a name at this point, but no proof.

I honestly have to say I like Splintercat.

 

The axe thing is exciting! Maybe there will be more clues soon!

Crap, there's no connection between axes/lumberjacking with Bearcats...

 

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. 

Their wooden coasters, though easily not entirely wood, still arent entirely steel. To call them steel is just as off as calling them wood.

Storm Chaser is entirely steel. And supposedly from these plans, it is showing a steel structure, and if it were to be an I-BOX with a steel structure, like Storm Chaser, that would be entirely steel.

Lumberbeast anyone? No? Didn't think so.

Splintercat is very catchy to me.

This is Cedar Fair! It's obviously going to be either Lumberhawk, Splinterhawk, Timberhawk, or something along those lines

About a week. But that was an invite to the announcement. This wasn't.

An axe would be used to hollow out a log from a fallen tree. Just sayin.

^Maybe in its efforts to create homeless cardinals .

I don't see how this is different than Adventure Express or Gemini as far as classification goes. Oh well, only enthusiasts care about that anyway.

Anybody getting the connection between all of these logs and the LOG flume?. I hope it stays but I'm just saying.

What a great gift for the media! Now they can axe some questions!

Sorry, I had to.

I think the point he is trying to make is that they shouldn't be considered wood coasters, which they should always be considered hybrids IMO.
