  1. Not all their track...mostly for North America though there are exceptions. There is an Italin company that also helps out with manufacutring for European/over-seas B&M coasters. No where in that sentence did it state ALL b&m track was made there. It was the easiest way to recognize CSF. I guess I could have worded it "one of the companies b&m uses to manufacture its track.
  2. I was referring to track with similar color of supports, not that the teal would be our track color...
  3. Clermont Steel Fabrication, the company B&M uses to manufacture it's track.
  4. No, it didn't! It was the only looping wooden coaster. At the time. There have been looping wooden coasters before. Dont need to freak out man, everyone makes mistakes, i forgot about the first looping coasters, so theres no need to freak out But you still insisted that it was the first.. Yes but before you posted i went back and fixed my mistake, but everyone has to jump in on a single mistake, i was not thinking when i posted it, i ended up remembering later about the first looping coaster He wasn't really "freaking out" he used exclimation because even after there were multiple posts after your comment to the Interpreter, you still insisted that Son of Beast held the record for first Looping wooden coaster. and BTW the bolded part shows that in fact, you did not edit...
  5. No, it didn't! It was the only looping wooden coaster. At the time. There have been looping wooden coasters before. you beat me to the clarification...
  6. Haha no worries...We all have our moments. sometimes people don't even know what I'm talking about
  7. I would have to sat that looks like some invert track I'm not an expert but I don't believe that pic looks like any invert I've ever seen or been on. I can't think of a single one where you have metal bars between the supports and the actual track. To me that looks like a transfer track. But someone show me a pic of an invert that looks like that and I'd consider believing them. Until then I'm of the believe that track is not an inverted track of any kind. To all of you praying to the coaster gods for an inverted coaster this doesn't mean that pic is of our coaster no matter what type of ride that's from. I am of the minority hoping this is not an inverted coaster. Of B&M'S roller coasters: Diver coasters, inverted, stand up, sit down, floorless, flying , hyper, and winged... Honestly I'd rather have a world record breaking any one of those over an inverted coaster. I'm not a huge fan of inverts either but if thats what it is then I will ride. anyway you said youd rather have an invert than an invert in your last paragraph. I know it was probably an error just pointing it out He was listing the B&M coaster options and was stating he wanted any of them except invert (even though he included invert in the list)
  8. No. there were even links stating otherwise... please refer back a few pages.
  9. Hey guys, at least we know he is no longer on a bumpy road! (He Being Vortexlover)
  10. FoF96" Shall be there on the 8th of August...
  11. Are you kidding? B&M coasters are 10x more sexier than Intamin. I don't know what your talking about futuristic, I just see stupid crossbars and a box or triangle... HahaB&m all i see are crossties and railsWell, I certainly hope you see rails, otherwise, we would fall to our doom.
  12. B&m is the Arrow Dynamics of today. They make outdated forceless rides and their hyper/giga coasters only have a little floater air. Intamin leads the pack in innovations. They try new things with their rides, new elements, take chances, strong ejector air. They are the present and the future of the industry. They also lead the pack in accidents... and not just with their coasters. Ex. a few superman ride of steel. a few different Drop Towers, capsized raft rides, and most recently a capsized shoot the rapids.... the list is so large compared to B&M... and I did not even list all of them.
  13. If you mean the name then it was renamed to Twisted Twins. FoF96". Who lives in Louisville. EDIT: rethorical question...
  14. Everything the Interpreter has posted in response to Vortex has me cracking up! EDIT: and also I would like to know which keyboard has the "a" and "I" keys next to each other.. Idk where thank came from...unless the road was really bumpy...
  15. YoungStud is talking about X2 and flightoffear1996 was talking about X-Flight. You quoted flightoffear1996.
  16. ^^ right there. And your quote was that of flightoffear1996, not Youngstud.
  17. Was going to say that but you beat me!
  18. Why couldn't an inverted coaster be a hyper? Lets think outside the box. That's what we're all here doing. An inverted coaster could be a hyper if it had no inversions. A "hyper" is a coaster without inversions with a height between 200 and 299 feet. Period.Was Son of Beast not referred to as a hyper woodie? I could be wrong but I believe it was and I also recall it having an inversion... ( sorry to bring up Son of Beast but it was only example I could think of)
  19. We are 11 minutes from said announcement. Beings I do not live in Ohio, does anyone know where I can hear said announcement?
  20. This is why I don't think it's an Intamin coaster: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27275-starting-to-decode-2014/?p=524912 Here's Intimidator 305's track support footings, notice how square the holes are compared to the track support footings of a B&M's and Kings Island's attraction? Goliath (B&M hyper) footings: Our footings are more like Goliath's than I-305's. I agree, the other day when I was at Kings Island, there were oval shaped holes in some of the footers like the ones shown in the picture of Goliath.
  21. MF Capacity: 875 PPH Leviathan capacity: 1600 PPH you seem to have forgotton Intamins downtime/ non B&M people eater trainsEdit: my sources were the Cedar Point and Canada's wonderland websites, respectively.
  22. [quote name="Timbo1" post="521587" timestamp=" I mean doesn't HUSS kinda owe CF for the WindSeeker debocal. I can see a series of these rides like JUMP 2, FlyAway, maybe a Large farris wheel. I see footers but even these rides require footing before final concrete pad. Just my thought, maybe that will change once I see footers further out in the fields. Who knows? Modern Huss rides have low reliability, I.e. TR:TR but WindSeeker was made by Mondial, a Swiss company. Huss resides in Germany. But if we are looking for what Huss owes to CF maybe TR:TR?
  23. FoF96", I really hope you don't mind that I snagged a screenshot of your photo, but it's the best one I can find to use for my question. If you don't want me to use it, please let me know and I'll be happy to edit this comment and remove it. So here's my question: In the area I've circled, is it safe to assume these two rectangular footers could be at the base of the lifthill where the lift's motor would be mounted? No problem! You have credit and that's all that mattersOnto the previous post about the footers from yesterday, it was I that posted about that. I said it appears as though one of the triangle footers was removed, it could have also just been a marker that was confused with a footer in a previous photo that was to be placed later. Either that, or if a footer was there and was then removed, it could have POSSIBLY been built/placed wrong, but I have no knowledge of construction and do not know the reason, if it was removed.
