  • Well its been a fun one.. So long Starting to Decode 2014!

  • You know, I chuckle at this thread. The more I read it... which is pretty much daily now... the more I become amused. Why? It's a near carbon copy of about a dozen other threads related to KI throu

    For those waiting for when we'll announce what we're building for the future, you might want to grab yourself a Snickers bar. It's going to be awhile. We still have the majority of the 2013 season

They should drive by and see intake pictures and if they can snap a pic of the label

Do you have a way of decoding the label?

Dom497, the labels on B&M track aren't going to show the name of the park just the word "X-Works", but they will show what type of track it is.

I know that. The whole reason why I said that was so we can see if its going to Heide Park (we know the code for that project) or another park.

I'm honestly not sure how to respond to that. 297.gif

Perhaps things are about to go full throttle.

Please don't tell me that was a hint that we're getting something like Full Throttle...? Because that would be seriously boring, unless they can drop the rear-launch gimmick and add more inversions to it.

This may mean nothing but Don has brought it up twice now

On May 17 he posted a picture of Diamondback at the bottom of it's hill on Facebook with a caption stating:

If you really like something, you'll want more of it.

And about 20 minutes ago he posted along with a picture of a girl eating blue ice cream:

When you really like something, you want more of it.

Now while this could mean absolutely nothing (or have no relevance to the expansion in AZ), my social studies teacher said many times this school year that if something is mentioned more than once, it's probably important.

Maybe we're getting a giga coaster with an ice-cream splashdown.

Are you willing to pay their ticket and all legal fees when they get arrested for trespassing?

Uh huh...didn't think so.

It's probably best not to encourage people to do something illegal. ;)

Hate to burst everyone's bubble but isn't that probably going to europe? Same color as the other that went there...

They should also not trespass.

true

You quoted all that to say "true"?

It's nice to see the progress that is being done, I hope on my trip down from Toledo sometime next month there are supports starting to pop up.

Some new track at Clermont Steel.Photo%20Jun%2022%2C%201%2048%2019%20PM.j

The piece in the back....isn't that too tight of a twist for a Wing Coaster train?

Any chance those are defective pieces of track lying around outside, not to be used for a coaster? After all, wouldn't they be painted if they were waiting to be picked up and transported?

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say they're in storage waiting to be painted.

I highly doubt it. If it was one piece, maybe.

Those look freshly made. Twisty, just the way i like it. Think I will switch to Pretzels once my Popcorn is gone.

There was a documentary (2006) about how B and M makes the track and part of the process is to let the track sit outside and rust (this has something to do with trying to find any defects). They then remove the rust, do a few ultrasounds and then paint.

This article talks a bit about the process but doesn't mention the putting track outside part.

This is finally getting interesting.

Maybe those track pieces are lying outside because they are drying. It could be a black-painted coaster.

^there is spray paint on it and you can still see the welds...

Ahh. Thanks so much!

Really dude, does those pieces look painted? Just think about it for a while.

I think you might want to adjust the brightness setting on your monitor. Those are definitely not black. They look like bare metal.

Maybe it will be a graffiti-themed coaster... :rolleyes:

The GP could have as much fun as they want vandalizing it. Although, would it really be vandalizing if it's the theme? Perhaps they should let people draw on supports, fences, etc. nearby.

Years ago, I used to drive by CSF every day. But I had no idea the place was that big until I saw the video of Mr. Ouimet and the team checking out the Gatekeeper progress.

I would love to see some track show up at KI, but I get the strong feeling that they're being very secretive on purpose.
