Pics I took today at B&M Plant in Batavia 1-10-11

I was in Batavia today and saw some track outside of the plant that makes track for B&M. Not sure what these are for. Any ideas?????

I was originally going to guess that it's for the new dive machine Krake at Heide-Park Soltau, but I'm pretty sure dive machine track is wider than that. Maybe it's Chang track, with primer already applied, getting ready for the green paint?

^^Krake at Heide Park is apparently going to have cars that are only 6 seats wide. I don't think there would be a need for the large Griffon style Dive Machine track. I agree with your guess that it is for Krake.

Most B&M coasters have that box section track, they say it provides a smoother ride along with the extra wheel B&M puts on their cars that runs along the side of the track.

Well the blue track in the original pictures above is not for Krake unless Heide Park plans on having part of the layout the blue color.

A recent picture on Heide Park's Facebook shows black track on the brake's and station track.

In regards to KILateNighter's post, I'm pretty sure ALL B&M coaster have the box spine track. At least i've never seen otherwise. If I'm wrong, someone please let me know. I would love to see a picture of the difference.

In October/November, on 2 consecutive Wednesdays I saw a tractor-trailor with sections of track very similiar to the above heading east on I-70 at Cambridge, Ohio. The sections were green.
