silver2005 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 There are apparently grey pieces at the plant in Batavia that are alleged to be for Thorpe Park's B&M wing walker (similar to Raptor at Gardaland), and I do recall Krake (the new dive machine at Heide Park) was made in Batavia as well. Heck, Hair Raiser (that yellow B&M floorless at Ocean Park in Hong Kong) was made there as well. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Has anyone thought this might be going to Dollywood? Quote
Oldschool75 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Has anyone thought this might be going to Dollywood? The truck was heading north into Indiana. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Has anyone thought this might be going to Dollywood? Talking with some friends today, yes, we thought about it. I personally think that it is. Brian5465E are you absolutely sure it was heading north into Indiana, because you said you weren't sure if it was it's true route or a pit stop? Quote

It's going to Dollywood it seems. http://themountainpress.com/view/full_story/12471549/article--Planners-OK-2012-addition-for-Dollywood-?instance=homethirdleft Quote
Creed Bratton Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 At its highest, the attraction will stand 11 feet. My link Uh? Typo? Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 haha yeah, I saw that...either a typo of this coaster is NOT leaving the ground! Quote
Creed Bratton Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Worlds first 95% underground coaster!! Lol! Although 11 feet is not unheard of! The Underground at Adventureland has a total height of 13 feet. Now, I'm not sure if it's underground though. Quote

Brian5465E are you absolutely sure it was heading north into Indiana, because you said you weren't sure if it was it's true route or a pit stop? Yes, I was following next to it. The truck got off on the Lawrenceburg exit and I went to Ohio. Unless he missed his exit to 75s and was turning around.. Quote
WWC2003Amy Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I think that the pieces are going to a Kings Island off site storage facility. ** Crossing Fingers** Quote
thekidd33 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 There were pictures posted over at TPR of the pieces on site at Dollywood. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 There were pictures posted over at TPR of the pieces on site at Dollywood. Do you have a link for that? Quote
thekidd33 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 The thread where the photo used to be is here. It was a picture of a fair number of blue B&M track pieces sitting in a clearing taken from Thunderhead's lifthill. As Vortex stated, the photo has since been taken down by the site's admin. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Do not even get me started... I would not want to Robb this place of its civility. Fortunately, that "gentleman" does not reign here. 'Nuff said. Quote
FOFreak Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Hmm, the coaster was going into Indiana you say? Interesting. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Rumor has it that someone asked a driver who was driving some blue B&M track where he was going, and he said Dollywood. Take it for what its worth. Quote
pkiridesmaint Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 your mystery track was spotted over the weekend on a farm in East enterprise, Indiana. 38.853583,-84.996994 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Interesting. Do you live in that area? That would explain why he was getting off in Lawerenceburg (since that road is right off Route 56, which ends at US 50 in Aurora). Must have been stopping at home for the weekend on his way to wherever that track is going. Quote
sethdawg17 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I am really starting to think this track is wingrider style and will be going to Dollywood. Latest hints from Dollywood deal with flight and the park is a traditional American park. It's possible it could be themed to an eagle or something of the sorts. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Hmm, the coaster was going into Indiana you say? Interesting. lol if you actually think the track is going to Holiday World. Quote
CoasterGeek101 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I wish It would be going to KI, but I know it isn't. Quote
Fear the Four Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 http://www.thecoastercritic.com/2011/06/dollywoods-2012-roller-coaster.html Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Ok. I'm getting very excited for this now. Perhaps we will wait until next year to make a trip down there. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I think I'm going to have to plan a trip to Dollywood for next year... Quote
