DaveStroem Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The stickers indicate that the project is from B&M. http://www.screamsca...w_-_2012_10.htm - Sample sticker from Dollywood's 2012 B&M. Yep, those certainly do both look to have come from the same system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 But doesn't Canada's Wonderland need some lovin'? Besides Behemoth what big rides do they have? But I'd say Cedar Point or KI will get a biggy for 2013. They are the next ones due.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDL Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 CP is in need for a new roller coaster more than KI but I still hope we get one in 2013!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I guess I'm not really seeing the connection to B&M... My first reaction to those supports was that they reminded me a lot of I305's station supports. Not to mention that they just got Behemoth, but I suppose they could always be going to for a different model. And do we know for sure that Dollywood is getting a B&M?

kingsrattler Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The locals that post on Thrill Network seem to believe so "topic: Dollywood Coaster 2012?!?!" Their big point of contention in that forum is whether it will be a wing rider, or another type of B & M. Edit: Not that they really have any more information than us, but they do see the construction everyday... there's some pics of the supports in that topic.

CodyDL Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 That's what I said how do people know it is a B&M... They might think it is but no one is 100% sure I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tags at the end of each column are identical to ones on recent B&M installations. Also, my wife and I passed the truck carrying these pieces north on I-71 just outside of Cincinnati on Friday night. As you all know, stateside B&M components are manufactured in Batavia.

TombRaiderFTW Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 ^ Thank you! This makes sense now, so I can definitely see how it's probably a B&M. Given the acclaim this thing's getting before it's even announced, I'd say it's going to be something unprecedented for B&M... Maybe the long-rumored rotating seats on the wing rider model will make their premiere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's odd is that the coding on the tag has pretty much been figured out, and the "MC" on these tags matches up with other B&M "Mega Coasters". The rumored WingRider at DollyWood has a visual "WI" as the start of the part number, Shiekra (and other Dive Machines) have "DM", Inverteds have "IC," and Sitting and Floorless have "SC". Now, CW already has a B&M Mega Coaster in Behemoth, so this will be very interesting to see play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magm&MForce24/7 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm going to sound REALLY stupid here and say that MAYBE B&M have developed the ability to design a giga coaster?? I really doubt they did but it's just weird that there were sighting's of the word giga on supplies, but the model tag represents B&M. Then you get to the point that B&M's tallest coaster is 232 feet high. Now with all that information I really have no idea. I mean there is a POSSIBILITY that B&M has developed a giga coaster, but I really don't see that happening. -MagmMForce247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 In Thrill Networks Dollywood thread, there are pics of new B&M parts at the ohio plant. Somebody's getting a B&M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 And it looks like it's a B&M coaster. Both the track and supports are the same color. http://www.cwmania.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=242&page=1&sort=dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDL Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 WOW! That is really exciting I wish we had something to be excited about... It looks like it is going to be a really cool coaster whatever it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWorldEmperor Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 For some reason all the clues are adding up to be the first B&M giga coaster. But I just don't see it happening, I mean I'd doubt that B&M would ever built a giga coaster, and i couldn't understand why Canada's Wonderland would build one right after Behemoth.

flightoffear1996 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 B&M said they wouldn't build 300 feet or taller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 B&M said they wouldn't build 300 feet or taller I've said I'd never root for Michigan. But if somebody showed up in maize-and-blue with a wad of cash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Crunch Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 B&M said they wouldn't build 300 feet or taller Then they could build 299.9 feet and consider it a giga! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_humor Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Well maybe B & M changed their mind about the 300 foot thing. That was a long time ago when that was stated. Maybe, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWorldEmperor Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 In my opinion this is either the first B&M fourth dimension coaster, or B&M finally broke down and is building a giga coaster. All the clues are pointing at one of them. And B&M changing their mind is possible, they're capable of doing it and with technology advancing I have a strong feeling that more gigas are going to show up very fast. I can only imagine that B&M wants in on that profit. Although I must admit, it would be kind of weird seeing big bulky box track 300ft. in the air, let alone with a big mega coaster train on it, but we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I don't think the site is big enough for a giga... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBOB Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm just surprised (not to mention relieved) the coaster isn't red..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDL Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I don't think the site is big enough for a giga... I was on TPR (I know) and they were saying the coaster will go into the parking lot but this was from a "good source" so you never know the whole truth until the announcement is made. Personally I do not see them doing a giga because that is too similar to their other B&M. I see them doing a giga with a new style train, not traditional sit down.

Titan Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Although I'm not the biggest fan of TPR, they do give some nice insiders. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38407&start=2130#p1075110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Looks definitely like a B&M to me. I'm hoping that tag means what I think it means. I'll be getting my passport for sure if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Looks like a record breaker, but than again, with Cedar Fair, record breaking could mean "Tallest Gravity-Powered coaster in the Mid Atlantic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Pretty sure they are going to name this one Leviathan, obviously playing off of Behemoth coaster. For those that do not know, Behemoth and Leviathan and both Monsters one being the land-monster (behemoth) and the other Sea (Leviathan). There is also Ziz, monster of the air. If you want to can go looking online for a more in depth look at the story behind the creatures, it is really quite interesting, I did a college essay on it two years ago. If you look at the teaser picture below you can see a shadow of a monster in the background... http://www.cwmania.com/forums/download/file.php?id=439&mode=view Here is that same picture just more clearer and decompiled. And here is the first image that comes up in an image search... Hmm..... PS... I am absolutely loving the teasers revolving around this ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The name Leviathan has been thrown around for a few years now as a new coaster name. Great name as well for a monsterous coaster. The color scheme of the track on site would definately fit with the Leviathan theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
