Something New Coming (Not in SOB's Area)
This is the show at Wonderland that started this weekend. It is one of the most amazing shows I've every seen from Cedar Fair! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxfpFY5Tbsw

^^But doesn't the height seem kinda low...like really low for what we believe will be a big coaster? Also, I don't think I've ever seen a loop with supports like that... Oh, and there are/will be footers to the left that have completely been left out.

from rcdb.com this wouldn't even go under "unknown" yet? RCDB is not Screamscape...its a database that is supposed to only have reliable information that the public would also likely know about...not just enthusiasts. All there is at this point are footers....no track, hardly any teasers, no model known, and we can't be 100% sure that B&M is making this roller coaster. If you really want to push it further, how can we be sure that a roller coaster is also 100% being built? Footers mean absolutely nothing to the public.

Here's the video. It was cut/edited to only show the main parts about B&M as the episode was an hour long and wasn't just about B&M

Canada's Wonderland Starlight Spectacular
The all new Starlight Spectacular began this weekend at Canada's Wonderland! One of the most amazing shows I've seen at a Cedar Fair park. I think this is what KI (along with the coaster) and KD should expect next year! For those that just want to watch the good parts.....well.....lets just say there are no bad parts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxfpFY5Tbsw

What's Up With Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular?
I can't seem to find where a bunch of you were questioning if painting the fountain floor black would be a good decision but after you watch this video that will be the least of your worries. I think this what is in store for KI (along with the coaster) and KD next year.....enjoy!

There was a documentary (2006) about how B and M makes the track and part of the process is to let the track sit outside and rust (this has something to do with trying to find any defects). They then remove the rust, do a few ultrasounds and then paint. This article talks a bit about the process but doesn't mention the putting track outside part. http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.ca/2008/12/scott-carol-present.html?m=1

The track that's going to Europe is white with greenish supports. The green track went to China.

I know that. The whole reason why I said that was so we can see if its going to Heide Park (we know the code for that project) or another park.

^Did you snap a shot of the label?
-
Starting to Decode 2014
I don't know....I said it was a guess. If they did file a permit for the track it should be in the permit documents (which it isn't). Also, why would they need a permit for track now (I know, it sounds crazy but I'm sure they can get the permit approved easily). They filled the footer one in March which was probably when they began digging.

^I'm just taking a guess at this but maybe they actually haven't filled a track permit yet....all their doing right now is the footers which they have a permit for....

I'm pretty sure the park has done ALL of the paperwork before they started on construction. Think about it... But wouldn't they still have to fill it to Mason? I've looked through every single permit since January 2012 and the only thing I found was the foundation permit......

Has anyone found it strange that the park still hasn't filled a permit from the track to be constructed?- Starting to Decode 2014
For those wondering when Bolliger declined to comment.... Skip to 4:00- Starting to Decode 2014
The trains are made in Switzerland....I just don't know if its B&M themselves who make them (since their in Switzerland).- Starting to Decode 2014
I believe that piece of track is headed to China for Flying Over the Rainforest. Does B&M still make their parts for Asia at Clermont? Delirium (First giant Frisbee) Son of Beast (record breaker) Screamin' Demon (first Arrow launch coaster) How many of these were under the current regime at 1 Cedar Point Dr.?And on the "family experience" discussion, Ouimet: "There's not a lot in the middle... rides that parents are on with their kids, but not solely because of their kids... This is one we are about to roll out in multiple parks, where I know a parent will have at least as good of a time as their kids. And I think that's the sweet spot." (followed my some coughing, probably allergies or something) Calm down, have a little faith. The man at the helm is a genius in this industry. He knows what he is doing- be it a family ride, a new show, or a 400 ft. looping floorless wooden coaster. Trust the guys in charge, and if you are looking to truly have FUN and not looking to point out every little flaw you can find, you will not be disappointed. End rant. Flying Over The Rainforest was completed in December......that piece of track is probably damaged (samething that happened with Hair Raiser a few years ago...the track was sent back to Clermont)- Starting to Decode 2014
I know I have less than 10 posts here but that does not mean I know nothing. The track pieces that have been posted here are indeed for a Wing Coaster (where....we do not know but some have been saying that track is a dive coaster which it is definitely not) Following the "WI" on the track label is the letter "G" which represents the 7th Wing Coaster (Gatekeeper was F and FOTR was E). For those that are hoping for an inverted coaster, if the label says "IC2", the track is for an invert (they use the 2 because they ran out of letters to use; they also skip some letters because some look close to numbers). Finally, a giga (or hyper) would have to have the code "MC" in it. I know most of this has been mentioned but some seem to be ignoring what people are saying which is true. Oh, and that yellow track being talked about above went to China. http://rcdb.com/9647.htm- Starting to Decode 2014
ok well when was the photo of the track piece taken? And I'snt flying over the rainforest completed already No. Still under construction. FOTR was completed back in December..... the park is almost ready to open. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1258618#p1258618 It doesn't look like there is any wood under the green track in the pic above that I know the plant uses to "protect" the track so maybe it had somesort of defect....after all, it is the exact same colour.- Starting to Decode 2014
All of you are saying that you think its a giga or an invert but no one knows. Tell you what, I'm sure most people here know how to read B and M codes on the track and supports so why doesn't someone go down to the plant and take a quick pic of the sticker on the supports. Then we will know what model what ever coaster they are manufacturing is. - Starting to Decode 2014
