says who? I would be able to tell you from pictures on Heide Park Forums but they made the pictures private so you need an account to view the track pics. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1318421#p1318421 This is the only picture of track I could find.

Didn't we already say we knew that....in fact I don't know about any one else, but I knew that since June 6th. Just sayin'
-
And reading this thread as of 4:41 PM. However, he has not been active since that time. Because he's calling his co-workers over to laugh at us!
-
I think we all know that. We're just clarifying what the codes/labels tell us.
-
I don't think so. The barcode has to be able to tell the transporter where the track/supports need to go. Maybe what you said would also come up along with the destination.
-
Well, the first four digits of the "Job No" (6702) match the first four digits of the barcode number. The remaining digits (00029) can then be read as simply the number 29. So I would read the barcode as "job number 6702, piece number 29". Interpret that however you want. EDIT: Also, the 00029 can be extracted from the "Part No" at the bottom of the sticker, which further supports that interpretation. Also, "TE" = Track Element

Barcodes for B&M do vary for each project to a certain degree. WI = Wing Coaster, LC=Flying Coaster, IC2=Inverted Coaster, SC=Sitting Coaster, DM= Dive Coaster, FC=Floorless Coaster. Following that follows a letter going alphabetically (Heide Park is the 7th Wing Coaster, hence the code is WI-G). Some letters are skipped as they can look like numbers and B&M doesn't want confusion.

Bolts were delivered in July...that's it. If KI has the bolts, the crates are likely hidden somewhere (probably in the maintenance building or somewhere where we can not see). But again, if we can find them, and have the same label format as CP did, we can find out what type of coaster is coming.

You're actually only dropping 310 ft. -

2nd construction update. Seems that the foundation is going to go 135ft into the ground. http://bgtfans.com/2013/falcons-fury-construction-update-2/ -
Canada's Wonderland Starlight Spectacular
Dom497 replied to Dom497's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Just watched a recent video of the show and was surprised to see that Wonderland has changed some of the scenes! Play the original video I posted beside this one to see what I mean. -
Leviathan at CW has magnetic trims and they can be "shut off" by moving away from each other so The Beast could use something similar even though it is a wood coaster.
-
It updates on its own (or Cedar Fair updates it). Leviathan, Behemoth, and Intimidator are the same (just name off some examples). http://leviathan.canadaswonderland.com/ http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com/ http://intimidator.carowinds.com/

I forget where but CF said that they will not use seperate websites for new attractions anymore, instead use the parks url and create a sub-page (no www.leviathan.canadaswonderland.com; more like www.canadaswonderland.com/leviathan (this is just an example). By putting the rides page within the parks url, it makes it really hard to actually find the page. When DA was going to CW, one night before it was announced, I replaced Kings Island with canadas wonderland in DA's url and boom...found out what is known to be one of wonderlands worst kept secrets. The only reason Gatekeeper was leaked was because the webmaster was really silly buy changing the things to do section on the home page with Gatekeeper's blog, webcams, videos, etc. No one found out about Goldstricker (I think) as the coasters page did not go live until the announcment. I remember typing in the exact url that it is today before the announcment but coming back with nothing. Leviathan...we just found a password blocked site and knew.

Why would B&M be mad at Cedar Fair for not putting special effects??? Maybe if the layout was changed to save money, yes, I would see why, but special effects....really?!?!
-
Construction on Levi started in May...
-
B&M manufactures their trains in Switzerland so it is likely replacements....not for the new roller coaster.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cedar-point/7782034964/meta/in/photostream This link is from Cedar Point and it says the exact same thing. (I don't want to start "arguing"....I'm just supporting my point).

Metadata is not imputed by the uploader, it is hidden data from the image that can not be changed.
-
Believe it or not, some concept art (not POV's) are done using photoshop...like Gatekeeper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gatekeeper_(CP)_Layout.png Click on "show extended details" under the metadata section. Regarding how they make POV's, I don't know why I did it but I emailed B&M last year asking how they made their POv's. Surprisingly, they actually responded saying that they developed their own software.

First Construction Update! More images here: http://bgtfans.com/2013/falcons-fury-construction-update-1/ -
Wildcat was scrapped, DT was partially scrapped (some parts sent to a museum), and SS was blown up.....chances of that happening aint that high...
-
I was just speaking my mind.

Alpengeist is 195 feet. Why would KI go with a 179 foot invert then....it just doesn't seem right. Now that's for an invert. If this decoding is right, we could be looking at a record breaking Flying Coaster from B&M (Tatsu is 170 ft). Now I'm starting to think this will be a flyer rather than an invert.....

Just out of curiousity, where did you find this pic? Can't find it anywhere on TBT's website. (I'm not questioning that you just drew this picture...just curious which article the picture is in)
