coaster_junky Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 o.k. so i live forever away from Kings Island (down in grant county, kentucky), and yesterday me and my family were driving past the walfle house, when i noticed something strange, thats when i reallized that there was a 18 wheeler parked in the parking lot with 3 peices of lavenderish colored track, so could this be track going down to sea world? i do have pics on my cell phone, but i don't have a cable to download them to my computer, and i don't have internet on my phone.

CedarPointer Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Was it B&M box track (Diamondback) or Intamin tri-(MF) or quad-track (TTD), or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 If it said BM it's B&M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Was it B&M box track (Diamondback) or Intamin tri-(MF) or quad-track (TTD), or something else? yea, it looked alot like Diamondbacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 B&M Track comes in many Sizes and Shapes. What shape did it look like? Diver? Flyer? Hyper? Looper? I only ask because there are rumors of Divers and flyers and everything else out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 to me it looked like Diamondback's track, just a different color. and from the pics you just posted, flying coaster track and a hyper coasters track look identical.

ahank Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Lavender you say? Hmm, I really don't know where that would be going. If it looked more blue-ish, then yes, it probably was Manta track getting ready to head down to Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveWorldEmperor Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I think that "BM" does mean B&M and "LCG08" is the track number. LCG prolly means the location or ride or something like that then 08 means where the piece goes in the assembly. I know Diamondback uses a system like this and because they are both from B&M they might use the same classification system. If the manufacture of the track is North then it prolly is going to sea world. P.S. try to send those pics through a txt msg to your email and post them.

The Interpreter Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 So where's the BM in that label you posted, BEAST1979? Well? Also, if you ain't learned yet, life will teach you what often happens when you assume.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster_junky Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 o.k. i just looked at the pictures again and the track was more blue, i just thought it was lavender because it was cloudy from it raining, and the track was parked in the shade. so, sorry.

Avatar Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 There was a Manta construction tour last week and DoingFlorida.com but up a video of that tour and I thought some of you would enjoy seeing the video. Manta does not look like anything super big but they are really going for the special effects. About 1:45 in to the video they tell about the special effects and artistry that they are doing to give the riders and non riders an enjoyable experience on and off the ride. I love theme and I am excited to include Sea World in our vacation plans next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
